Our new brief has two parts; one theory and the other emotive, so we’re scheduling our tactics for the next few weeks. We got to make two short films that address cultural and technological changes in 2006, whilst impressing Russell Davies with things he didn’t know.

We have a question for everyone with a pair of running shoes and the time to use them…

When you are running around

, listening to your iPods, looking at trees, dodging dog shit and avoiding schizophrenic people with sharp things under their jackets, does your imagination take over? Do you imagine you are running from the old bill? Leaping chasms or chasing mushrooms like Mario? Just what are the crazy thoughts that stream through your brains?
