Harvie Krumpet

'Harvie Krumpet' is a animations created by Adam Elliot. Adam Elliot was born on the 2nd of January 1972 in Australia.
Adam Elliot has also created other animations like 'Uncle', 'Brother' and 'Cousin'.
He has also made a recent film called 'Mary and Max'.

But 'Harvie Krumpet' is based around a person called Harvek Milos Krumpetzki, who was born in Poland the year 1922. The animation tells the story of his life and the struggles he went though like having tourettes and all the people he loves leves him. But he always looks on the brighter side of life and lives life to the full.
The type of animation which is used is claymation where the models are made out of clay. Adam Elliot made the models the same size as wine bottles because he has a bad twitch. With Adam Elliots twitch it gave all of the models a unique style.
'Harvie Krumpet' has won over fourty major awards at famous film festivals. The 23 minute animation cost $380,000 and it took 15 months to make.

I loved the animation it makes you think about life and get as much as you can out of life 'Carpe Diem' (seize the day). I thinkl the way Adam Elliot has made this animation is very clever and the subject he ghas done it on is inspiring.
