"Is War Worth It?" - Part 1

***Had to reupload because it was not in order.

English project, after reading Johnny Got His Gun.
Me, Abby, Eric L., David G.
I did the video editing, Abby did the posters (for class), Eric L. did the scriptwriting, and David G. did the narration.

It's supposed to be a video/documentary exhibit, in the Museum of Peace and Tolerance of 2084.
No, it does not, and will probably never, exist.

Random clips and images taken from t3h internetz and YouTubezz. Music is from Halo 3 OST, Battlefield 2142 OST, and "War" by Edwin Starr I take absolutely no credit for the clips and images in this video.
The time spent searching, putting the video together, and syncing the music, I will take credit for.

This video is on war (WWI, WWII, Iraq War, WWIII), and is supposed to convey the message that war is BAD, and that war is not worth all the lost lives.
If it properly conveys this message, is up to you to decide.

If you notice any, please point out the grammatical errors! (Please keep in mind that I did most of this at 12AM-4AM.)
However, there are many pronunciation and grammatical errors in the narration, which I am not able to fix. The narration audio files are sometimes cut off. I can't fix that either.

It clocks in at around 20 minutes, and took 40+ hours (yes, seriously) to make. If you take into account the script writing and narration recording time, it's well over a day.

Umm.. so.. enjoy! :D

In any case, I do commend you on the editing here. 40 hours of project work, you say? See, I'd say that's way too much I mean, that's almost 2 days...still, if it was worth it then it was worth it, no?

(I myself managed most of my group's editing in one 8-hour block. hen again, yours is at least twice as long)

Why am I leaving a comment here? I don't know...

Whatever.

Ta-ta.

Woah..

Umm, this may sound a bit rude, but who are you? xD

[KenQing]

This is Adam, from your school. And no, it doesn't sound rude, considering that if I were in your place I would be wondering the same thing.

[KenQing]

See, I think it's a very odd question to ask...I mean, I find it hard to believe that there are people who aren't professors of political science who would go about saying that war, as an abstract concept, is good.

Strange that I'm even watching this...maybe I should have taken a look at it sooner. (I mean, I did see it once, but still, it wasn't in the comfort of my own home, was it?)

Japan began it's aggression long before Germany, when they invaded China. Ever heard of the rape of Nanking? Why is it that Germany is ALWAYS blamed for starting both World Wars? Poland picked the fight with Germany, when they started brutalizing Germans in Poland. Over 58,000 German men, women, and children were killed in atrocities committed by Poland, but you NEVER hear about it.
