This is a wonderful view into the creative process used on this spot. Big, big kudos to composer Steve Sidwell and all the intensely creative people who worked on this project. I suppose I am just an old Anglophile, but I really admire the Brits. When they do something, it is almost always done with an eye to beauty and detail. If this spot had been done in the US, they would have used a Golldarn synthesizer. It gives me hope that a very large company like Honda would see fit to spend the money, that they obviouly did, to "get it right" and with some vision, instead of going to some guys who would just "crank it out" for one one-hundredth of the cost.
