A bit further in the process of editing...

I now have all the footage I need. The other end of the phone call with Sergeant Tinkle is done and I have a few establishing shots of Leatherhead.
For Sergeant Tinkle's part, after looking for a tea set but failing dramatically, I used a plate of cookies instead, which he offerred to his friend "Corporal Cuddles".
I will update my script with the additional dialogue and change the gangsta talk as Hisham improvised in the end.
In the end I decided not to use the shot with the tripod as it doesn't look very good when you've cut it out and zoomed in to fill the screen.
On with the editing!
Oh, and I plan to do the phone call with a split screen, like you see in cartoons.

In the process of editing...

I have most of the footage I need for my film, only Sergeant Tinkle's end of the phone call is left, which I will do once I've bought George a handlebar moustache and a plastic tea set. I used Final Cut Studio 5 and half the film has been cut together now. I have used Motion to create intros for officer Retro-Face and officer Tubgins.
For backing music I am using "Don't Like It Do Ya" by Paul Linford for dramatic pursuit music. At the end I have opted for a rather more funky hip hop number; "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugar Hill gang.

I have thought of adding a bit more into Sergeant Tinkle's end of the phone call. He's meant to be the tough, scary guy. And comes across as this when on the phone to Retro-Face. But to add to the comedy aspect I want to give him a soft, childish side. So after he shouts "SHUT UP! I'M SERGEANT TINKLE!" and hangs up, perhaps i could have him offering more tea to his imaginary friend. :D

Fo' Sho' Mo' Fo' That's Crackalackin'! filming.

I have now finished the script, story board and all preliminary work, and am ready to film.

FILMING...We had a successful day of filming, in Leatherhead. The pursuit scene is finished and all i need to do now is Sergeant Tinkle's end of the phone call.

We were lucky with the weather, it was quite cold, but sunny, despite the forecast of rain. All in all good enough conditions.

The whole thing took only a few hours and most shots took about 2 takes. There was only one major mistake which was me leaving the tripod in the shot, but i will try to edit this out.

Nearer to the end we were attacked with water balloons fired from a three man slingshot, however, they were a very bad aim!

A few changes were made during filming simply due to the context or suggestions from the cast, such as waiting for the traffic lights and jumping over various obstacles.

Here are some photos of the filming in action...
