Collaboration: Research - Scrat Comedy and Storytelling Techniques

Scrat

Page 158 from: 'Ideas for the Animated Short' (First Edition) by Karen Sullivan, Gary Schumer and Kate Alexander. 
Interview extract from the makers of the Scrat shorts on what makes Scrat comedic.


Scanned pages (112 and 113) from: '3D Animation Essentials' by Andy Beane.

I meant to post these a lot earlier but here are some scanned pages from books that I found relevant to our research. The Scrat interview extract is us researching a pre-existing comedic 3D animation short that communicates comedy without any words. The story telling techniques emphasises the techniques used in the Scrat films, mainly to show the audience comedy and why it's funny rather than simply tell them. The rule of three concept that is said to be used in comedy was also relevant info to our animation, we will use this for example for the Harry Potter spectators skit, we will come back to this skit three times throughout, mainly because the base of that joke is time. - Paris
