Anecdotes
In a 2023 interview with New Music Express, Anton Corbijn spoke about why he made the film black-and-white, with the exception of the album covers: "It started off in color and then I realized that the quality of all the archival footage was not really how I would have liked to have shot it because you have no control over that. A way to use it well would be to bring everything as a uniform look and that was in black and white. And then make the album sleeves the highlight of your day when you look at those. That worked really, really well."

Citations
Storm Thorgerson: I'm described by some as difficult to work with, by others as a ponce, by some as a narcissist with an ego the size a small planet, by some as really awkward, argumentative, by others yet as grumpy. Very few as handsome and sexy, which of course is the way I see myself.

Lovingly made documentary about a designstudio and people they made albumcovers for.

The stories in this documentary have been told before, but never quite like this. Every shot in this documentary is designed and perfectly matches the period and persons it depicts. We follow the rise and fall of design studio hypgnosis, where the story is being told by the two main designers and their in those days larger than live clients. It is very interesting to hear the memories of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Paul mc Cartney and others about the period where their fame and ambition was limitless and to see how everything that was once new and happening becomes old and history. Music and photography could not have been done better and is a testament to the brilliance of Anton Korbijn.
