Humor Panel At Ottawa Animation Festival
by amid
September 17, 2008 10:22 am


I’m moderating a panel at the Ottawa International Animation Festival this weekend. It’s called “Animation Makes Me Laugh: Ha!” and it’s all about what’s funny and what isn’t in animation. There’s no sure-fire formula to funny so I can’t guarantee we’ll unlock any secret keys to humor, but I can guarantee you’ll get to hear from four funny and talented filmmakers: Nick Cross, Will Krause, Fran Krause and Superjail creator Christy Karacas. The panel takes place Sunday, September 21, at 3pm in the National Gallery (Lecture Hall). Drop by and say hello.

    This sounds really interesting. Any chance audio or even video will be posted from this event?

    Any chance we could get somebody to film it? Might make a good CBTV clip *nudge nudge*

    I agree with Chris. I mean, there’s a lot of unfunny animation out there, so having a clip on your website of the panel could be a good way to counter-act the lameness.

    Then again, if everyone aspired to be truly funny, it might spoil it.

    Knowing your long-standing hatred for Family Guy, I can tell what isn’t funny in animation.

    Oh wow. I really wish I could be there- that is truly an all-star selection of filmmakers!!

    I’m a HUGE fan of all of them- their films were big hits at previous Animation Attack events!

    Go Fran and Will! Go Christy! Go Nick! Go Amid!

    You guys rock :)

    A recording would of course be much appreciated, as others mentioned ;)

    HAHA, all this was is a discussion on what people like in comedy, satire, parody, original stuff, still had some good times to it.

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I just saw [$9.99] in the Holland animation festival. It is one of the best animated films that I’ve ever seen! I don’t talk about animation (because animation, and etc. are things that I’m not interested in). The design is good enough not to tease you. But the literature, the script, and the cinema in this film are fantastic. Made me think about one of my favorite all time movies “Smoke”. Yes, this film is a full Auster-esque experience. Smart and witty! It has to be nominated for an Oscar!"
    – Theodore Ushev
    "$9.99"
