Description:

“Harvey” combines cutting-edge digital compositing and animation techniques with a poetic metaphorical tale of loneliness and incompleteness. The main character, Harvey, has been cut bru­tally in half from head to groin, down the centre of his body, yet he remains very much alive. The film follows the macabre results of his obsessive relationship with his mysterious neighbour. Actors were shot with blue chroma make-up and combined with heavy Inferno matte work and 3D geometry to create fantastically surreal and macabrely horrifying images.
