A rat snake may look like it's related to this
King Cobra, but the cobra prefers to think of the
rat snake as lunch!

"One Rat Short" is a work of love created by
Charlex Films. It began as part of the effort to
grow the company's CG department but eventually
became much more than that. Originally, it was
entitled "labratz" and as the title might suggest
it mimicked the look and sensibility of worked
already pioneered by other studios. As it evolved
it took on a life of its own- it became my film-
or as any director of an effort like this knows
our film. We decided not to use anthropomorphic
animation. We decided it would take place in two
worlds- one so gritty, grimy and dark that the
viewer needs to peer into the screen in order to
make out the images- the other a sterile, white
world so brightly lit that you feel the need to
turn your head away from the screen. It was also
important to me to keep the film looking as real
as possible. One of the techniques we used was to
give a lot of the camera work a hand-held feel and
to keep it a little behind the action so that the
scenes didn't seem staged. Lastly and most
importantly I kept the story simple and tried to
give it heart. One of my favorite short films,
which I saw as a child was "The Red Balloon". I
think the melancholic and innocent spirit of that
film inhabits "One Rat Short."
