Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Paul Anderson from teh ABC Circus from Hollywood, Florida and we are going to do how to be a clown. So what kind of clown do you want to be? Well there are a lot of types from tramp clowns, Auguste, and zanny, but of course the traditional three would be the Whitefaced, the Auguste, and the Hobo and now a days they add character to it, but perhaps you could be a fright clown and scary, scary can be funny too. Or you could be a smart clown, from the comedia del arte, doctora "ha now I'm smart". At least I think so and my mom thinks so too. But this is kind of a cross between an Auguste and a tramp. You can see the black pants it's very dark, black and white, black and white, black and white with a red all over. You know very small children see black, white and red. Those are the colors that small children see the easiest. So think about the colors you pick, let's keep it down to three."
