How does the chase begin - the meeting

We still haven't decided how the chase is going to begin. We have all agreed it needs to be quick (within the first 15 seconds) and comical for the audience.

Possible Idea
- we see the gorilla sitting in a bench with a newspaper
- we cut to the banana walking down a busy road
- we suddenly see the banana notice the gorilla
- we get a shot from the gorillas perspective as he sees the banana looking at him
- shot of the banana's terrified expression
- the banana starts running for his life
- the gorilla dropps his paper and chases after the banana

We all really like this idea and we all contributed to it. It would be brilliant if we could get this scene done in or near oxford street because then we could easily link the chase to it. It is fast, snappy, and comical which is what we need. What would be better would be if we can explain a real reason why the gorilla is chasing the banana and not just randomly have it.

Maybe the gorilla can be at a restaurant or cafe and instead of a newspaper be reading a menu. There are plenty of cafe's on oxford street so i am sure that this wouldn't be a problem to find. The only possible let down could be permission to film from a cafe.
