Clownfellas

So...I finally get to make my clown post.

For something that ran about sixty seconds, there was 4 or 5 hours of shooting involved. Alot of "clowning around" if you will.

The challenges involve lighting, locating and charging seltzer bottles. A shop vise works well for this, as long as nothing goes wrong. Also making up pies. Stagehand Steve has years of Bozo experience in this regard.

The outtakes are probably too blue to run, but they were funny. Matt had a great concept and it all worked out well.

The work environment here is unique. It's not Dean Richards starting a conversation with me "So do you have my enema bag?" it's the fact that the other people standing around didn't blink at this statement.

Duplicating sweat is quite a challenge.

I remain,

Stagehand Dave
