CORRECTIONS

- At 04:44 I say "Noel" in the voice over instead of Nolan. Sorry Nolan!

- Yes, in the plots of our shots at 05:13, 05:59 and 14:22 I left the axis labelled as "inches" and it should be "feet".

- At 11:18 I say "eight points" but I mean "point eight points".

- Let me know if you spot anything else!
