I saw it too, thought it was extremely well done. They pieced together a nice thread of personal stories and anecdotes from British citizens and soldiers, from 1914 through 1918. The restored and colorized video was impressive too, but I'm not sure if it was because of the freshening-up or the corrected frame speed. The cartoonish look of the old films just evaporated.

I wish I'd had time to linger and see the "behind the scenes" video on how they accomplished it all.

In the behind the scenes part, Jackson mentioned that when the colorizing folks got to the uniforms, he loaned them his private collection of WWI uniforms. When the sound folks wanted to do the cannons, he loaned them his private collection of WWI cannons...

They did the artillery sound effects by miking the NZ Army’s artillery practice ... both at the guns and at the point of impact.
