“On the Line” is an animated 3D short film created by Adam Vickerstaff during a two year Masters program
in Animation at the University of Central Lancashire in the United Kingdom.

"Same Ol Thing", a bleak run down monotonous factory is looking for staff.
It is Darren’s first day and the terror of being stuck in the same job for eternity slowly dawns on him.
Never moving forward, never following his dreams. Yet characters such as Audrey,
Ian and George seem perfectly happy living their lives on the line, content in the knowledge of a
safe and secure job.

In the boredom Darren find solace in his own imagination. With all the characters depicted as
alter egos, living in a lush, green potted plant, and trying to find a way to escape
to find others of their kind.

Featuring the voice talents of Dorothy Sanders, John Howarth and Christopher Goddard.
The piece takes a moralistic look at life choice, with humorous undertones
and adventure.
