Walker/Fitzgibbon TV & Film [WFTVF] in association with Omni Advertising take over highways across the US filming running footage for Honda Associations’ “I Like It” campaign. Helmed by veteran Executive Producer Mo Fitzgibbon and her partner, Director/DP Robert W. Walker, the company was on a four-state, ten-city mission with a convoy of cops and 26 picture-perfect Honda vehicles of every model. DP Max Fischer captured amazing scenic shots of the beach, national buildings, and military ships. Producer Jeffery Frizzell of 44 Productions ran the production on military time as he battled through hectic situations on the roads of Norfolk, Hampton Beach and Virginia Beach in order to meet up with the battleships in the harbor for the Honda hero vehicle shots at sunset. The Virginia Film Office, city officials and the townspeople welcomed the production.
