Harvie Krumpet is a 22 minute claymation dramedy Directed by Adam Elliot, an Australian stop-motion animation Writer, Director, and Producer. The look and expressions of the characters and the chunky charm of the sets Elliot creates, along with the perfect VO – Geoffrey Rush – telling the sad and humorous life story of Harvey Krumpet made this film unforgettable for me. It’s been screened at over 100 film festivals since it was released after 15 months of production in 2003, and it won the Oscar for Best Animated short in 2004. It was filmed on a modified super 16mm Bolex camera, and the film budget was AUD380,000.
