RESEARCH PART 2 TEXT MESSAGE PROJECT: THE RICKY GERVAIS SHOW
Over the past two days I have been watching some clips from 'The Ricky Gervais Show' for innovation for my next project. The show consists of Stephen Merchant, Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington, who on a animated live radio podcast talk about the feelings and opinions of Karl and sometimes the day in the life of Karl. The things that Karl says causes eruptions of laughter and sometimes disagreements of Karl's' opinions and they pick out the things he says and makes a mockery out of him, which then causes him to justify himself which then leads to eruptions of laughter.
I also wanted to take note on the clever structure of the animation. It is formatted as audiobooks with animation and the inspiration from their animation was drawn from the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, the likes of 'Scooby-Doo' 'Tom And Jerry' etc.
At the beginning of the animation, we see Ricky, Stephen and Karl sitting in a studio starting a conversation about what karl is thinking. As Karl starts speaking, the animation changes and provides a visual context of what Karl is talking about, much like a flashback scene from a film with a narration over the top of the animation and the animations give a literal visual moving image of what Karl is talking about.
After Karl finishes and elicits a humorous reaction from Stephen and Ricky, the animation pans back to them in the studio and most of the time the same format will repeat whilst taking about something else.
This is the main inspiration for my first idea. except I will set the opening scene in a living room with either two characters sitting together talking about their fond memories or having three people having a laugh together talking to each other having funny conversations.
The idea is still early in the works, but I am getting towards finalising a solid idea.
Below I will leave a YouTube video of a Ricky Gervais show clip below to give you a better idea about what I am talking about:
