Funny in 15 - Wanker!

Today was our final hand in for our funny in 15 project, we decided that it was sensible to go with something to do with penis' because everyone knows that they are really really funny.

Elf did the anamatic for this (see previous post) and i did the character designs, they came out a little differently than i saw them in my head but i think they work aesthetically
 for the background that was also created by elf. We tried to merge them so it all looked quite matchy matchy.

Sammy animated the man on the left and i was stuck with the one that is having the time of his life on the right, i forgot how much i enjoy 2D animation and really should get some more practice in! Over all it was quite hilarious to create despite the confusing looks i got. Fun! Fun! Fun! The sounds do make me uncomfortable though, i suggest you listen to it with headphones on for full effect. 

Funny In 15!

Another task we've been set this semester as a year group is to create a 15 second animation that has to make people laugh. Now I don't know about you but I consider myself to be a pretty hilarious individual just not always intentionally. Trying to make people laugh is the hardest thing in the world, especially when they know its what you're trying to do. I got put with Elf and Sammy, 2 people I hadn't worked with before but get along with well so I was happy. It's nice to have new inputs and views, it means you see things that initially you would have missed. We had a few ideas but Elf came up with one we went with as it was simple and fit into the 15 seconds well, it was just to do with a tree falling on a cow basically, but in our heads we tried to set it up in an amusing way. Here are the anamatic/storyboard boxes I drew up for elf to edit into an anamatic.

 

 

 

I hope from this you can understand what the plan was, on reflection we didn't actually like the idea, and didn't feel that it reflected our humor at all. We didn't find it funny so there was no way in  hell we were ever going to be able to put the energy into it to make other people find it funny.

 

Here was our original anamatic -  

 

 

We surrendered to this idea, and left it here, went away and had some thoughts. Elf came back to us with an interesting idea. It was nearly crossing a line but not really at all because this is animation and we can do anything we want and people don't care because its cartoons and no one takes cartoons seriously, anyways... right??

 

So, here is our new concept, its funnier i'll give him that, and i'm all for going with it!

 

I think its funny, anyway.
