Human Statue Baiting

I've just redone this, so I'm posting it again for feedback. I don't think it was obvious enough that Simon and I shot it guerilla style so, worried it looked staged, I've been back and re-cut it. Let me know if it plays...

Good fun.

I like the way the 'statue' runs.

It would be nice to do that with the statue of John Betchemen (sp ?) in the new St Pancras station.

Haha! Good work David.

:D funny one, you'll be on C4 on a Friday night next.

Cheers. I have another long segment where I use the guy as a sounding board for some deep emotional trauma, but it goes on too long and ultimately isn't as funny as just yelling "freeze!" from a megaphone.

God willing.

You should set-up yourself as a human statue right next to another one, I bet that would piss them right off.

Human statue: "This is my patch"

David Bussell statue produces a sign, 'Human statues can't talk'.

That's a pretty sweet idea. If ever I were to turn this into a runner I would totally yoink it.

Go for it, the only thing I ask in return is a squeeze of your hurting bombs.

***Re-tooled - see top***

a fine effort my guerilla brother.

Who are you calling a gorilla?

That last bit, was that real?

You REALLY shouted in that man's ear?
