My project, The Rat, is about a cowgirl names Betsy Bopper who goes through her regular routine of hearing to the local pub, Bottoms Up. She comes across a dead rat and is disturbed. Little does she know, that the significance of rats in general will alter her life. 

The story for this project was based on a real life event that happened to me. Of course, things have been heavily altered and dramatized for the sake of humour but the basis was that I did come across a dead that that later on vanished in the same spot I saw it. I really enjoy films that make you theorise and think, like the Matrix, and wanted to add an element of thought to my film, so the ending is up to anyone’s interpretation. This animation is done in 2D and is three and a half minutes long, short and gets stuck in straight away.
