In Response To: The Halocaust (NartFOpc) : Very well done school project up on Youtube about the holocaust using Halo 3 : footage. : http://youtube.com/watch?v=XlT1eTip0jA
First: forgive me for any bad grammar and or misspelling. I would first like to say a couple of things about myself. I am 19 years old, in college and Jewish. I would like to thank all who enjoyed my video. My reasons for making the video was to not only get an A for my project but to also show that not all forms of education have to be in the form of a posterboard or textbooks. While documentarys and the history channel can be interesting I find them to be hard to relate too. I wanted to show that history could be shown and understood in a more modern way. I would like to say that I have taken all feedback from the forum and wanted to write a response... so here goes: I do agree that the subject was a delicate matter and using Halo isn't the best way to approach it. However while I am sorry for the people that were offended I must say I am proud of one of the results. Since creating this video I have gotten a few message via xbox from kids who had either forgotten or had not learned much about the Holocaust. There were even a few parents who thanked me for explaining the holocaust in a way that wasn't sugar coating it but wasn't to graphic for them. I would also like to say that the WHOLE SOCCER BALL thing was just to reemphasize the image of innocent children playing in the streets of Poland. It may have seemed comical but that was definitely not my intention. As for my narration, I was just having a cold that day and I only had one day to complete the project. I do hope that the video proved that some subjects (maybe not the Holocaust) can be shown in more creative ways and that they don't have to be just posterboards and boring reports. Thank you for your time and I hope I answered all of your questions
