This is truly wonderful - simply love the way you have stitched the footage together to tell your story. I was in the Industrial Revolution segment and share the sentiments captured in the vox pops. Really very well done :-)

Aw man, so cool! What a great atmosphere especially as you head towards the stadium with 'Pandemonium' playing. Love when you go mental at the parachuter from the helicopter! XD
