Harvie Krumpet

the size of the models are the size of wine bottles because Adam Elliot had a twitch, and it would of been hard to do the detail if they were small.
The materials that Adam used were plasticine (for the arms) car bog (for the head and torso) and wood (for the set)
Harvie Krumpet was made in October 2001-January 2003 (editing finished in Mat 2003).
It has won an Academy Award for Best Short Animation and 40 more major awards!
Elloit does not use computers to improve the look of the animation because he hoped people can relate to Harvie's life and see a little bit of him in themselves.
"I want people to feel his pain."- he doesn't use computers so he can keep the same dark lighting through out.

advantages for a filmmaker that are using physical models as characters is that it makes it look real and they can use real props for the animated characters to use. Also it makes it look more realistic.
The disadvantages of using physical models to tell a story is they can get damaged or broken or even lost and have to be made again or replaced, which will also take up valuable time.
Elliot's tremor contributed to the style of his animation to make an organic feel 'chunky-wonky' style that fed itno his style. the characters look like that because of his disorder.
