Panels 3 and 4 are a good example of things I had to make that I didn't expect to, even though I'd written it into the script. To be honest, the cameras were a bit of a rush job. And those grey things on poles are supposed to be lights. If I'd had more enthusiasm I'd have done a sound man with one of those big furry things on the end of a pole, too.

One thing this story highlighted for me is that I lack a decent variety of regular town/city/normal minifig parts. Star Wars? Spacemen? Heaps of them. Regular decent-patterned torsos? Barely a couple. That's why Crankled doesn't have a particularly great shirt. Ideally I'd have liked to use that Steven Spielberg minifig for the role, but I don't own one. Next time, maybe.

Oh, and spot the mysteriously disappearing bicycle! I've only just noticed that myself. I remember deliberately taking it out of the shot because it was making the scene too cluttered. Continuity eh? Good job I'm not getting paid for this.
