Plumber ist ein wenig traurig, es wirkt deprimierend, wie sie die Situation entwickelt. Der Zuschauer aber wird mit einer geistreichen Wendung belohnt. Es ist offensichtlich, nicht nur die technische Umsetzung ist gradios, die Scriptwriter haben sich wirklich Gedanken gemacht und einen schlüssigen, bösartig humorvollen und am Ende witzigen Film geschaffen. Die flüssige Bildqualität arbeitet auf Hollywood Niveau, der Skript ist deutlich besser, auch die Handlung ist überaus kompakt und unterhaltsam. Ein toller Kunstfilm mit Unterhaltungswert.

Plumber was our first fully computer generated short film produced over a six month period at Redrover Animation Studios Ltd. in association with Bravo!Fact. It was directed by myself and Andy Knight and produced by Randi Yaffa. The concept initially began as a pitch for a grant from Bravo!Fact and, after a storyboard and animatic was created and submitted by Andy Knight, we were chosen as one of approximately 12 final contestants. With the grant officially awarded to us, we began production only one week after that in late August, 2002. The purpose of producing the film was to introduce Redrover into the short film production industry as well as to push the studios‘ creative and technological experience to the limit. The film was completed in February 2003, making it a six month project from start to finish.

Plumber has won various awards and screenings at numerous festivals including a nomination for „Best Animation“ at the 2004 Orange British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). For more info, please visit the Awards and Publications section.
