Maybe something cliomancy-esque based on capturing important events on film/video?>>>


I can easily see a school being developed around capturing historic moments in video or
photographic form. Articles of history such as Joe Rosenthal's Iwo Jima photo, Abraham
Zapruder's JFK assassination film, the footage of the Berlin Wall coming down, the World
Trade Center attacks and most recently, the toppling of the Saddam statue in Baghdad's
Firdos Square would all be fine examples of charge-worthy material for such a school.
