Plot
Imdb explains: "A young man in prison is interviewed and talks about his life, how he got into prison, and what it's like doing time."[2]
Cast
- Derek Robinson - Himself / interviewer
Critical reception
Going Equipped received a rating of 6.3/10 from 69 users.[2] The One-Line Review "Highly Recommended" the short, and said it "proves to be a melancholy minor-masterpiece and one of Aardman Animations best works."[3] Animator Mag said "Peter [Lord]’s contribution was a view of life in and out of prison seen through the eyes of a young offender. It is based on a real-life taped interview. The animation is smooth and realistic although watching a plasticine figure acting in a realistic way makes the words even more poignant then if the actual person had been filmed."[4]
