 We have learnt a lot about the power of technology from filming our opening. It allows you to recognise the lengths that people go to just to get a sound effect in time with a visual, and how hard it is to capture the essential requirements of a narrative. It has helped us to respect films and the production that has gone into them and also learn the power that we have when it comes to technology.
