The content was filmed during the winter in two cemeteries located in Southwest Ohio (which are the New Carlisle Cemetery and the Medway Cemetery) and one cemetery in New York City located behind St. Paul's Chapel in lower Manhattan. The cemetery footage was filmed in 2009 using a 2008 Toshiba laptop computer, (of which the available technology of that time explains the strange and eerie video quality.) Still photography was created in all three cemeteries and in front of various gothic churches in New York City using the same laptop computer camera.

The music of "Tubular Bells" (Part One) in this movie comes from the "BBC TV 2nd House Performance", which was a live-in-the-studio performance for the BBC, filmed on November 30th, 1973. It was originally broadcast on BBC2 on December 1st. The music from that performance was used for this movie by permission from the copyright owner.

Musical Cast:

Mike Oldfield, his brother Terry (flute), Fred Frith (and other members of Henry Cow), Steve Hillage, Pierre Moerlen, Tom Newman, Mike Ratledge, Mick Taylor, Karl Jenkins and others. It also includes a new part for oboe.
