Another person we talked about in our last tutorial, the independent film maker Adam Elliot. I watched one of his award winning pieces of work called 'harvie krumpet' the story is about his life from being born in Poland to dying in an old peoples home. i really enjoyed watching it although the story has a quite morbid and sad feeling to it throughout, it's the Small bits of comedy that kept it going for me. The clever thing about harvie krumpet is that there is hardly and talking from the characters themselves, the whole thing is pretty much narrated. What i also like is the Quirkiness of the characters and the facial expressions Elliot gets out of them.
This short (23 min) film won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film in 2003, in addition to numerous festival awards and the 2004 Australian Film Institute Best Short Animation award.
It is quite different from a lot of other animations, probably the reason for it's success.
