He wanted them to be interacting with Bowies performance on stage as well.

For his archive-driven films, Morgen doesnt feel required to slavishly reproduce the original video or sound.
His goal is more subjective and interpretive.
What we were always trying to do was create emotions and feelings.

You know, see a car, hear a car.
He always said theres no mistakes either.

You gotta be kidding!
I remember the moment… Moonage Daydreamis now in contention for Emmy nominations in multiple categories, including sound.
The idea that we might be considered for the Emmys, itd be incredible, Hartstone said.
Id be so thrilled to see it get any recognition because I just think Brett has created a masterpiece.
