Humor in Animations

[Alexander McGee]

It really depends on what aspect of FIRST you are trying to portray.

Gracious Professionalism should probably be a serious topic. As should safety.

However, a team being so exhausted from the last minute all-nighter before ship, that they accidentally locked their driver in the crate; well that's kinda funny. And it has happened.

It really depends on what you are trying to do with your animation. Be sure to use caution, however. I know of a team who had very good intentions with their animation, but once their sponsor saw it, (at a regional) they became very upset. So upset that they nearlly pulled funding, and kicked the students off the team.

Keep in mind that your animation reflects not only the charming individuals on your animation team, but the entire team and all of it's sponsors as well.
