Brian, a young person involved in the project says:
 
“I got experience with lots of different types of cameras and even drones. I learnt how to frame shots, how to record professional sound and how to tell a story with more than one camera. It has made me a better all-round film-maker and cinematographer”

Reena Mukherji, Director of The Octavia Foundation, says:
 
“There is a need for opportunities for young people to learn digital media skills. In our increasingly digital world, these skills help future employment prospects. We have found that digital media is an effective way to reach out to young people who may be isolated or not engaging with education in the usual ways. Further to ‘Waking the Dead’ we will be offering more digital media training and opportunities for inter-generational work from a brand new centre in north Kensington from summer 2017.”

Jim Minton, London Youth, Director of Membership and Communications,  says:
​
“The best thing for me was the way that young people had created a project which really drew on the history of the whole community. It was clear that by creating the app, and working closely with the Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery and other community groups, the project has genuinely bought people closer together in this part of London. As well as this, the project has created a legacy, which will ensure that young and older people can find out about the fascinating history of London, told through sound and music. It was a lovely example of partnership working, led by young people and their community youth organisation.”
