Behind-the-Scenes on "Ahmed the Iraqi Clown"

The great poster Rex Poole made for the shoot.  
Matin begins his transformation.

Feraz Ozel holds up the funniest thing in the short.

Sound is separate from the camera so we use an old school slate.

What did we learn from this shoot?  No one likes clowns.

Matin Atrushi is Ahmed.

Even the kids were scared of Matin.

Name?  Parents of the teenage girl, name?

The birthday party.

Ahmed.

Ahmed blows a balloon animal.

We were under the gun to finish up the shoot by the time we got EXT. House.
