The Challenge

History Hit aspired to create an engaging and informative YouTube series on the guns of WW2, showing key weapons used by the US, UK, Russian and German armies.

The project required expert guidance on weapon selection, a diverse collection of firearms from each of the countries, and a location to film - including onscreen appearances from curators. As the bridge between museum and the entertainment sector, Royal Armouries was uniquely placed to deliver against brief.

Over 2 Million Views

With our expert team we supported History Hit at each step of the creative process. Each episode was meticulously planned, with careful consideration given to which objects would be featured. In parallel, time was spent organising an effective production schedule, culminating in a succinct filming and editing process.

This close collaboration with the History Hit team resulted in the capture of quality content that has proved widely successful, reaching over 2 million YouTube views.
