Tony Palmer(Director):
«The facts are as follows: the so-called 'redwash' sequence of 'Set The Controls' was shot by me in a studio at the BBC, I think in Lime Grove. It was taped as if 'live' on video, with a few small cuts made later. It was recorded with the red wash (i.e. it was not 'put on' later) in attempt to recreate the light-show effect that the Pink Floyd achieved on stage at that time. When they saw the film, the group all approved, particularly that at the climax of the sequence, the Floyd's music cuts directly into Bartok ».
