In the 1967, Rick was running his own advertising agency in Los Angeles and was indirectly hired by BSA Western to solely shoot and manage their campaign.
Rick and his wife Valerie where living in Los Angeles so for the first stage of the campaign, Rick settled on Malibu beach and Van Nuys airport for the location shoots along with a studio session.
The second stage of the campaign was in the UK with six shoots throughout London including St. James Palace, Westminster Bridge, Albert Embankment, Battersea Funfair Carousel and Whitehall Palace.
For the final stage of the camapign, it was back to the USA for a location shoot at the Cheetah Club in Venice, California and another studio shoot which produced the famous 'Out of the Box' and 'Bonnie & Clyde' inspired adverts.
