Been doing a bit of hopping back and forth between London and Helsinki. As you can imagine, the first flight of the day is pretty much full of people working for or with Nokia. When the plane touches down and people switch on their Nokia phones there is a ‘dawn chorus’ effect of all those 5-note Nokia ‘switch on’ themes sounding at once. An interesting little modern phenomenon.
Breakfast in Helsinki
You hear people talking about advertising, mentioning things like big budget shoots in South America with loads of spare time hanging out on the beach. This is clearly a lie! The reality tends to be quite different.
We’ve been on a road trip around the UK meeting Hondamentalists, to make short films about the different sides of Hondamentalism for the Honda website. First Southampton, then Sussex, then Yeovil, after that Swindon…
Welcome to Yeovil
Overnights at the Travel Lodge, breakfast at the Little Chef and service station sandwiches for lunch in the car on our way to the next location.

Anyway have a look at the films, featuring:
