Comedy for Animators

Hi, I'm new here and want to introduce my blog.

For over 20 years I have been studying the world of physical comedy. Artists such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Chow, and many many more. I just really like this kind of comedy. I also happen to be an animator. It's my opinion that cartoon characters are just an extension of this world of clowns. Once you know how to design and build a character and make it move, the question remains: What do you do now?

By understanding the centuries of tradition in physical humor, you can be inspired to create characters with interesting personalities. At least that's what I'm trying to do.

Anyway, the blog is at comedyforanimators.com

For instance, if you want to learn more about Jacques Tati (The Illusionist)
you might want to read my two introductory posts:
