We had to make a video about a certain event in History from the Black Plague to the First World War and write an essay summarizing and analyzing the event. We chose the Battle of Belleau Wood from WWI, and my job was to tape, direct, and edit the darn thing. Took a lot of time and trouble for what it's worth, but whatever. It was fun and ended up looking pretty cool. Couldn't think of a better way to start this channel.
