A secret to making movies? Lean heavily on history and pump up the drama. In a 3-minute video, cinephile Vugar Efendi splices together a collection of films based on real events and historical milestones. From biopics to historical dramas, the short video shows a side-by-side visualization comparing how history really went down versus how Hollywood depicted it. The comparison effect in Recreating History draws attention to the glamorous sheen films add to true events, as well as the importance of makeup and costumes to complete an actor's immersion in the role. The music in Recreating History is composed by Mica Levi.
