Fly Thru Preview (For Real)

So after waiting like 10 years for this to render, I find that a good majority of it is unusable. First, the biggest problem is the lighting situation. Inside the sphere, there are 3 lights on the mountains. When I had rendered the inside prior to animating the path, everything looked like it was set and there were zero issues. However, once the full thing rendered for some reason the entire sequence inside the globe is completely dark. There are also some issues that I had already seen in the unrendered preview that become a little more painful to look at in the rendered version (i.e. the path going through mountains instead of around, the fact that there's an 140 frame pause before it actually moves). That said, I really really really like the end when it zooms outside of the globe. I'm really proud of the way the globe as a whole looks with its surroundings and also seeing the sky in the background move with it adds to the general effect of it. I think when I go back in to edit (apart from fixing the big issues) I'm going to hold the frames that show the whole thing for a little longer than they are here so you get an opportunity to really appreciate it.
