Images to separate the states in the film
The map with the route I created in Adobe Illustrator. For the film I divided the complete map

I've made credits to relay some information about my journey in terms of money spend, salary made
and kilometers travelled. Also included is some basic information about the film itself like devices used
to record the videos and music used as the soundtrack. The credits I've animated in Adobe Premiere Pro.
