One Rat Short 10:00 "From the start, 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 would need to peer into the screen in order to make out the images and the other a sterile white world so brightly lit that the viewer would need to turn away. It was also important to keep the film looking as real as possible. Finally, I kept the story simple and tried to give it heart."
