Having Fun While Filming

Every year AFN holds a Persian rug sale to make money for the station. Gunny gave the Marines the task of filming a commercial to promote our event which will be near the end of November. Malta and KC came up with a crazy idea with a magic carpet, using our green screen, wigs and some how managed to make me a human bear rug.

The commercial went something like this:
KC: Hey the girls are coming over. We need a new rug.
Malta: -Agrees-
-Red bathroom rug apears-
KC: No that rug is too small
Malta: -Agrees-
-Red bathroom rug disapears and is replaced by a multicolored rug that is Castillos-
Malta: No that rug is too feminine.
KC: -Agrees-
-Mulitcolored rug disappears and is replaced by me laying on the ground like a bear rug-
KC: That's not a bear rug. That's just a man laying on the floor.
Malta: -Disgusted-
KC: Where could we get a rug...
-Malta and KC look off in the distance-
Malta is on a flying carpet and tells the audience about the rug sale in a Indian accent.

KC hopes this becomes the most talked about commercial on base. I think it was hilarious. Gunny saw it and laughed and said what's the funniest thing about it is that the man who sells the rugs sounds exactly like Malta did.

The commercial will be playing A LOT in the next month.

I wish I could post the video but I think there's some issue with it being government property yatta yatta yatta so I included some "Making of" pictures. We even managed to find where they had put all the crazy make up, wigs and mustaches.
