📌 A note on video quality:
You will notice this video is in 480p — and that is entirely intentional.
Metrics Made Human uses a hand-drawn sketch illustration style — every scene is a carefully crafted pencil illustration on aged paper, brought to life with subtle animation. This style was chosen because it strips away everything that distracts and keeps your focus on exactly one thing — the idea being explained.
At 480p, the sketch linework, the handwritten text, and the warm paper texture all render exactly as intended — clean, warm, and easy to read. Higher resolutions add file size and buffering time without adding clarity to this art style. Every word on screen is sharp. Every illustration is clear. Every concept lands without distraction.
This is not a video that needs to be cinematic. It needs to be understood. And at 480p, it is.
