Harvie Krumpet

Harvie Krumpet is a claymation. All the sets that are used are wooden ones. The house, the fire, the school and the boat are all wooden sets. The narrator is the one that reads the script and it fills in the gaps. They have used Geoffery Rush, they have used him because he has a good voice and is australia and everyone involved in it was australia. The characters in Harvie Krumpet all have problems and are all different because not only does it make it more interesting but it also makes it more like real life. The characters are also the height of a wine bottle because the animator Adam Elliot has a tick.

The style of Harvie Krumpet is that of a gothic and also comedy. This is to make it like the real world and show that everyone has good times and bad.

Harvie Krumpet provokes emotion in the audience and makes them feel like they are there. This is done by the way the characters stare out at the audience, the use of the sets and the colour of them, the way it is nattared and includes information such as the way the characters spell.

Harvie Krumpet also won a Oscar for best Animated Short in 2003, I believe it won this award because it deals with problems such as tourettes and it also shows theproblem of the war. Also it is original

The animator which we have seen which is similar is Vincent, both these animations are claymation both also both involve people who are lonely, outcast and alone. The difference is that Vincent is more disturbing because it doesn't have as much of a humor edge to it. Other claymations I have seen have been Wallace and Gromit and Pingu but these show just the good side to things and are very happy and dont deal with problems.
