One Rat Short [animación]

Un nuevo vídeo de los que utilizo como ejemplos artísticos en las clases de “Animación por ordenador” con mis alumnos de ingeniería.

En este caso es una obra de amor creada por Charlex Films que transcurre en dos escenarios, uno frío, sucio y oscuro en oposición a otro limpio, séptico e iluminado.

Una obra que destaca por su magistral uso de la iluminación, así como por el tratamiento de la cámara.

Un corto muy premiado destacando el recibido en el certamen internacional de animación 3D SIGGRAPH de 2006.

“One Rat Short” is a work of love created by Charlex Films. It began as part of the effort to grow the company’s commercial CG department but eventually became much more than that. Originally, it was called “labratz” and as the title might suggest it mimicked the look and sensibility of work already pioneered by other studios. As it evolved it took on a life of its own and became “our film.” 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 needs to peer into the screen in order to make out the images and 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.”
