Steve Kaplan's Comedy Course
Fri, Jul 25th 2008, 12:51
Yesterday I attended a great course courtesy of Aardman down in Bristol. It was a one day Comedy Intensive course led by Steve Kaplan. It did what every good course should do, which is make me want to get back to my computer and start writing. One of the most useful things he does is to look at why some comedies don't work... by which I mean he shows you clips from shows or films that are supposed to be comic, but are a complete let down. Last night I got back and deliberately watched a dreadful sketch show on BBC Three just to try and figure out why it didn't work. If you ever have the chance to attend his course I'd definitely recommend it.

Poor raggedy Neddy the Teddy, was left with no remedy and fell into an eddy which left him deady. Oh the Tragedy!

At the recent Showcomotion Conference we were asked to present in a programme called "Get Shorty" with a few other folks, one of whom was Jason Krogh of zinc Roe Design in Canada.
Jason has presided over a number of great projects, including the Zimmer Twins, an online 'make your own film' site for kids. (And for adults like me too.)
Here's a little short I made at their site called Outer Space Mischief
