Director Sam Esmail on the ambitious tracking shot through the facility in episode one: "The idea for the shot was really, we wanted to take an opportunity in the first episode to, in a grand way, expose the facility to the audience. We took what could have been a very pedestrian moment - Heidi leaving the office to go home - as an opportunity to showcase the environment and where she's been working the whole episode."
The intro music of episode one, by Pino Donaggio, was also the intro theme used in the Brian De Palma film "Dressed to Kill."
In the first episode of Homecoming, director of photography Tod Campbell achieved a long tracking shot through the facility using a 72-foot telescoping camera crane on a 24-foot tall platform, with an Oculus head for full mobility.
