Chuck Jones

     I have seen Chuck Jones's name many of times when watching old LoonyToons cartoons! Many of the jokes in cartoons he has directed follow a similar formula, lead the audience to make an assumption, then follow it up with something unexpected. Each character has its own clear desires, for example Pepe Le Pew's desire for love. This allows us to easily attach to characters, understand them, and be entertained. Human behavior and logic are the key factors Jones states that drive humor, and the best way to understand human behavior and logic is to study things in real life.
     This is a very interesting video, LoonyToon's jokes are always very clever and I never really understood how it worked. After watching this video about him it makes a lot more sense to how the design each joke and character. I hope to apply some of the key components they explain to my animations in the future to create more dynamic and interesting animations.
