Adam Elliot is an Academy Award-winning Australian independent stop-motion animation writer and director. His five films have collectively participated in over six-hundred film festivals and have received over one hundred awards, including an Academy Award for Harvie Krumpet and the Annecy Cristal for Mary and Max. Based loosely on his family and friends, Elliot calls each of his works a Clayography – clay animated biography. He is noted for his use of traditional 'in-camera' techniques, which means every prop set and character is a 'real' miniature handcrafted object. Elliot does not use digital additions or computer-generated imagery to enhance his visual aesthetic. His company, Adam Elliot Pictures, produce the films and Elliot’s work practices adhere to the French auteur methodology.
