Provided comprehensive historical research, narrative scriptwriting, and custom virtual cinematic footage (Total War engine capture) for Epic Histories, a popular digital educational channel specializing in ancient and medieval military campaigns. My hybrid workflow translated dense primary sources into highly engaging, chronologically paced visual video essays.
My Production & Research Methodology:
Tactical Campaign Research: Executing deep-dive comparative source analysis covering complex pre-modern operations, including detailed breakdowns of the Battle of Yarmouk and the Siege of Ctesiphon.
Turnkey Gameplay Cinematography: Choreographing and capturing multi-angle, large-scale tactical battle sequences within the Total War engine. This aligned perfectly with the narrative timeline, cutting asset generation times for the channel's video editors by half.
High-Retention Narrative Structures: Formatting scripts around visual cues, curiosity-led hooks, and explicit pacing notes designed specifically for modern digital media formatting.
