Hi @thehistoryguy , we've recently finished a short documentary using vfx to bring history to life. We'd really appreciate it if you would give it a watch! vimeo.com/532800124
It's finally here, the finished film! Hope you enjoy it! vimeo.com/532800124
It's been a busy year of post production on First Hand History along with everything else going on in the world. We're just putting the finishing touches on the film before it's released to the world. Here are some production stills from the shoot back in 2019. Watch this space!
The South Wales Borderers were in involved in this battle and it gets mentioned in our documentary!
Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded after the Defence of Rorke's Drift. It remains the most Victoria Crosses that have ever been awarded in a single action Watch: The Anglo-Zulu War 👉historyhit.com/zulu
Happy New Year! We're still busy working away at the documentary. Here's a sneak peak at a colourisation being done for the film. #WWII #documentary #WWI #SWB #history
We could have done with one of these in our film!
Wonder if British AFPU members had similar helmets? #WW2 #HISTORY #AssumingThisManIsAmerican

Germany invaded Poland #OnThisDay in 1939. Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later. World War II had begun. From the Museum's curriculum guide for teachers, an overview of the war on the Eastern Front: bit.ly/2ZxQYNA #WWII #history #OTD #OnThisDate

Great footage of the V.E. day celebrations in Newport 1945. The 2nd Btn South Wales Borderers didn't return home until 1948 as they were part of the occupation forces in Germany. player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watc…
Some grading tests from the documentary so far.
