Clowns?

We were talking about having a clown feature as part of the narrative in our video; here are some videos to think about...

INGRID MICHAELSON - "The Way I Am" ~ Although this video is mostly performance based, its got lots of clownage in it, the clown man with Ingrid i think is a good style for if we wanted something a bit more sinister, with the beard, hat and tatty jacket almost remeniscent of chaplins tramp clown. Also the bit with the mirror at 1.09, maybe we could do something with reflections?

FatLip - "What's Up Fat Lip?" ~ Directed by Spike jonze with an amateur feel from the unsteady shots, zooming, and unglossed/galmourized 'authentic' representation of the artist. The entire thing is a performance and the clown costume is just a part of that.

  1. I love the make up on the clowns in 'the way i am.' would Smiffys sell costumes and make up like that or would we have to get it from london or something.
    Our clown is more 'playful and annoying' than 'sinister' so ours shouldn't be so dirty and scary looking. Also, we would need to get big shoes, no clown is complete without them!! xx
