In 'Big Breakfast' the honey monster rescues a runaway Sugar Puffs truck which collides with a milk tanker. The contents of both trucks fill the swimming pool with 6 tonnes of cereal and 6000 litres of milk.
I was really impressed with the signwriting guys who turned a white artic into the blue one shown.
 

in 'Roman Holiday' as we know, the Sugar puffs fall from the back of the scooter resulting in a pursuit around 'Rome'

One of the key props in the market scene was the cart below with it's owner Checho seen here with my art-director Maria. He had ridden the thing over from Chile to sell vegetables from. After a keen day as an extra, he became a runner for the art dept. Now he has probably got his own production empire.

In addition to the two big commercials, we also shot four stings in a studio in Buenos Aires. Seen here on set with the sommelier and part time DP Shane Hurlbut.
