Technique: Live action footage mixed with computer animation.

Visualsː Against a black background, a globe of Earth is shown at the north part, showing parts of the United States, Canada, Greenland, Europe, and Northern Russia. The text "QANOROOQ" zooms out. Afterwards, the text reverses and does the same zooming as the camera zooms closer to Greenland.
