Not inherently a lesser endeavor ... just a different one.
That's normal I would think. If someone is basically giving a televised lecture about this or that person or event then all you need is the basic facts but if you are trying to give a picture of how the person really was in life then you have to dramatize things a bit to avoid people finding it boring.
