'Geweldenaren Van Ver' is a short CG film created by House Of Secrets, Maniacs Of Noise and Soulbase. Organizers of the Rocketclip festival wrote out a competition calling upon young filmmakers to submit their work. The theme of entries submitted to the competition had to fit into the category of 'Sci-Fi' with the objective to prove that (smaller) Holland based studios (formed mostly by enthusiasts) could also create convincing visual effects. All of this with a very limited budget (or better yet, no budget!). Our personal aim was to totally blow away the audience and clear up the common misunderstanding - once and for all - that smaller studios in Holland wouldn't have the experience and expertise needed to fulfill such a task.

by Redrover Studios

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).
