Production Context.
Interview-led documentary workflow: the shoot was built around clean, controlled talking-head recording within a cinema-history documentary format.
Filming in the United States required the same consistency and dependability expected on any international production schedule.
The work called for simple, efficient execution throughout, with recording quality kept stable across the shoot.
