An Oscar-winner will feature in Geelong’s Digital Innovation Festival later this month, City Hall has announced.
Adam Elliott, who won the 2004 Oscars’ Best Short Animation award for Harvey Crumpet, would present Little Blobs of Clay at Geelong’s National Wool Museum on 27 August, City Hall said.
“Ahead of the release of his next film in 2022, Elliot will share his insights into the ground-breaking technology and innovations that are transforming the animation industry,” the City said.
“Through creativity, big dreams and sheer hard work, Elliot took on the giants at Disney, Pixar and Fox to win an academy award for his clay-animation Harvie Krumpet.
Elliott has produced six short films, earning millions of views and international recognition.
City Hall described the innovation festival as a state initiative to “develop, demonstrate and promote technology innovation across every sector of the economy and society”.
