"Funny in 15"
Our task was in random groups of 3, to produce a 15
second animation with the sole purpose of evoking laughter. The task guidelines
other than that it had to be funny, and no longer or shorter than 15 seconds,
were very broad. We could use any type of animation, be that stop motion, CG or
2D. Firstly after finding out my group (Carl, Paris, and I) we got together
straight away and started coming up with ideas, things we personally found
amusing, and things we thought were universally funny.
After some broad ideas were developed, we
started to filter out the not so good ideas, and restricting ourselves to what
ideas would fit within 15 seconds. A strong idea that we ran with for a while,
were to do an animated version of ‘1 liner’ jokes, told by comedians such as
Jimmy Carr and Milton Jones. Although we found this idea quite interesting, we
decided that it wouldn’t turn out to be the most effective use of 15 seconds,
and wanted to come up with a more original idea and not just animate an existing
joke.
Here's some links to the kind of thing we were thinking
