【Mike Horner Archives】

Netflix's limited series Adolescence,Mike Horner Archives co-created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, is impressive in a number of ways, but one thing that's really got people talking are the technical elements.

Filmed by Boiling Pointdirector Philip Barantini in one shot per episode, the crime drama follows the characters without ever cutting away — and in one memorable sequence at the end of episode 2, the camera suddenly lifts up from the ground, soars through the air, and travels several streets away before descending for a final shot.

On Monday, the streamer shared a behind-the-scenes video showing how Barantini and his crew were able to achieve this with the help of a drone.
