About the camera
Annemarie Lean-Vercoe and Gavin Northover are both brilliant camerapeople and lovely folk…
And on top of a great film – I would (also) like to compliment the graphic designers.
Lovely moving graphics at the end with the titles running.
Can I ask – is the typeface (just) a universe – or is there at twist? Something with the n and m’s?
Is it possible to se the piece with the titles running again?
Yours sincerely

Good spot – the font is linotype univers, but it warps strangely as it gets shredded in the closing titles! Franki&Jonny did the layout and we set up the shredder and spent a very intense day shredding them! Really glad you liked that L – we’ll try to get the closing credits (or shredits as we call them…) up on the site soon. David

David, Can you please tell me who the programme was dedicated to at the end, and why?
Comment by Hilary — May 13, 2010 @ 11:27 pm
Erasing David is dedicated to Luke Williams-Ellis who died before his time in June 2009. He worked with us since the very beginning of the film, with Pixeco, to help to create our design and online community. Luke was very passionate about documentary film and was a particularly strong believer in the importance of the issues raised in the film. We miss him.

I wonder, does the DVD include any dutch subtitles?
I would like to watch it again with my wife. But she doesn’t understand english that well. So subtitles would help.

We don’t have Dutch subtitles, I’m afraid. But if we do in future, we’ll let you know

excellent film -
the privacy subject is there to be worked the other way too, which you are doing-
tho’ this type of intrusion is already changing society (maybe not a bad thing- in that we are all becoming more similar (tho’ herded). There is a huge amount of familiarity between 16yrs-20yrs old people that there just isn’t with the generation that say, lived in the 1950’s
anyway loved the words

if humans can think it – it seems to happen

Erasing David just screened in Australia (not sure if repeat or first screening), ABC TV, 4 Aug 2011.
Really great to watch, thanks so much! You’ve had so much deserved praise on your blog so I won’t repeat it all again. Just to restate what others have said about the graphic work in the doco… great! And the soundtrack… fantastic! (Ss the sound work credited here somewhere with the rest of your team?)

Ah, score by none other than Michael Nyman… no wonder I loved it so much! Was it an original Nyman scoring for you?

Thanks so much Thomas. The music was Michael Nyman and Andy Simms and Finn Curry did the mix. They all did a great job! David
