'A Blue Collar Tragedy' is an animated short about a plumber fixing a leaky pipe. Although not based on reality it is a story derived from the Author’s upbringing as the son of a plumber and plumber himself for thirteen years. The story seemed to lend itself well to animation and having so much experience with the subject matter it seemed the natural route for the author to take. The short shows what can potentially happen when a seasoned professional loses his cool on the job and the consequences that can arise from the actions taken. The concept went through many iterations until the script was finally tightened from a three character, dialog driven drama, to a single character comedy, which works far better.
