NHD 2008 NJ Winner- Anti-Nuclear Movement

This documentary took first place in a state competition, and did well at a national competition. In it I interviewed many professionals about the issue of nuclear disarmament, and basically covered the history of the anti-nuclear movement in around 10 minutes. Please enjoy and if you see any suggestions or have a question feel free to ask.

Interviews were all done by myself, and none were copied from the net. Even the background music is done by me, except for the last bit at the end which is Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd.

By the way, I worked really really hard on this. And if anyone ever tries to copy it and claim that they made it there'll be trouble unless I've given them permission to do so, so thank you.

Special thanks to the Harry Truman Library, and all who were interviewed in the film.

what'd you get at nationals? What state?

Unfortunately I didn't place, although I still believe that I should have. Of course I would believe that though, it's my video. All of the videos there were very well done, with great topics.

Also, the state that I won in was New Jersey.

wow. this is amazing! I'm actually working on an NHD documentary myself. I was wondering if you might have any suggestions/feedback on anything I could add to make the film better and what to stay away from in a documentary? Great job!

Thanks a bunch, and if you're doing a documentary, the best general advice that I can give is to make sure that you get a ton of interviews, try your best to find video of your topic (a slide show can get very boring), and make sure the script is thought out and progresses so that it ends at the 10:00 mark.

Very proffesional. I didn't realise you made it until I read the video description. Was this a school project?

[nybrave08]

Thank you, and it kind of was, as in I made it in school but I did it for the competition National HIstory Day.

I am a regional history day coordinator and would like to have a saved file copy of your fabulous documentary to help teach middle school and high school teachers about creating effective documentary entries with their students. Could you send me a copy of this documentary? Would you give permission to show it to faculty at a workshop? cab39@psu.edu Christine

hi...I'm doing a group documentary in the Junior Division. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on where i can find 20th century videos (such as in the 1950s). ex. 15 second clips of people in New York walking down the street.

Nice :) I was there from Iowa actually!!!
