Working as part of the Talk to the Hand Puppets Team that created (and named) your favourite train station mascot - Eleanor!

We were approached by M&C Saatchi with an incredible campaign proposal that included references to one of my all time favourite music videos - Fat Boy Silm’s “Weapon of Choice,” directed by Spike Jonze and famously featuring Christopher Walken. dancing through an abandoned hotel. The tag line “You Can Go With Us” referencing here our joy at the countless things you can do on a train - while not ending up stuck in traffic or endlessly circling Heathrow.

It was an absolute dream to work with the clients at LNER who really brought all their love to the project.

The puppet was built by the wonderful team at Talk to the Hand Puppets, where I over saw the project together under Andy Heath.

We worked as a team of three during the shoot with three puppeteers, myself, the wonderful Claire Roy Harvey and Iestyn Evans, of Talk to the Hand.
