Payne gives the impression that the film is shot like a home movie, but it is actually highly cinematic in technique and approach. While small segments of the film were indeed shot on MiniDV a consumer format , the bulk was shot on Digital Betacam a professional format and transferred beautifully to 35mm. Robby Muller's one of the film's three cinematographers exceptional, thoughtful portion of the film the opening Amsterdam concert was obviously completed with great care β the same care one would use if working with film.
