Anyone else participate in National History Day?...

For those of you who don't know what National History Day is, it's like science fair, except with history. Google it for more info. But anyway, for those who are familiar, you probably know that this year's theme is "Triumph and Tragedy". My topic? Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc.

I decided to make a documentary, as I have for the past few years, and I believe this one is my best yet. So I'd like you guys to watch and critique it in any way you can.

Here it is!

Please note- It must be 8-10 minutes, and relate to the theme Triumph and Tragedy.

Also, who else is doing History Day?

I don't like Steve Jobs...

Then don't watch it.

Nice job!

Thanks, and since you are well-informed on this subject, this question doesn't exactly apply, but do you think a person watching this with no prior knowledge of Steve Jobs would still be able to follow it? This is my biggest worry going into competition, because many of the judges are older, and kind of behind on the technology scene.

Looks like you put a lot of time into that.

I didn't win district because the judges were a bunch of idiots and claimed it wasn't historical enough.. What the hell does that mean?

Either way, Fake Steve posted it, so I feel accomplished.

I didn't know any of that and I followed it. Is that you talking, you have a pleasant voice.

I created the Panic of March 7, 2007.

Pretty good, Eh?

I don't like Macs, but that video was pretty good.

I, too, am not a fan of the modern Mac, but that video was incredibly insightful; it was interesting to learn more about someone who, like him or not, revolutionized the computing industry forever. Great stuff!

As for my participation, sadly, I did not. I'll have to remember this for next year, though, it looks pretty fun!

My partner and I did a documentary as well, but on the Manhattan Project. Ours kicks butt, dude! Can't really give you a link because it's currently a 10mb file, and on a DVD.

Thanks for the comments guys! And yes gamemasterAS, it's my own "pleasant voice"

Also, good luck to Nick and others still competing.
