This video takes you behind the scenes to show how I make the long, deep-dive historical videos that are now the mainstay of my channel.
From ideas to topic selection, outlining, writing, filming and editing, here’s the process from beginning to end.
This video was made concurrently with the production of my main history video for June, “The Rise and Fall of Pan Am” (expected to be out June 21 or shortly thereafter).
Hope you enjoy this look behind the curtain.
