One Rat Short - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[Metin2FreAkZz]

the end is fucking SICK

[shaketilubreak]

What software was this made with?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@shaketilubreak Our student only created the sound scape for this piece. The animation was created and provided by Charlex Films. Unfortunately, we do not have information on the software that they used to create the piece.

[wiiS360]

ahh! you so what great looking stuff you can do with CG when you take time to make it good? and yet we get CG crap like in the last scene of Season Of the Witch!

[cutipiez412]

i almost cried when the machine landed on top of her, then i really cried at the end!

[CypriotVlogger]

Aww this is so sad... bloody cheeto packet

[DusterPanCake]

that ruined my evening somewhat :D

even tough, GREAT JOB! so touching ! :)

[twistley]

the rats are really good animated, great job guys.

[georgbernier]

noooooooo, but where is the happy ending, i am crying, really great work dude,

[francymarisa]

so sad...and so beutiful

[KitsuneTodd]

This is so heart breaking.

[Zeitgeist1101]

What an awesome work of art. I mean both the audio and visual aspects. The sound design is superb, you can tell that the student payed attention to detail, everything from the music down to the tapping nails of the rats as they run was superb! And might i add that the animation was masterful as well!

[Mr6hero9]

so this guy made the sound effects correct? does that mean he did the music too?

[Bluedrake42]

=(, you people need to make some happy movies

[JayneMariefromDet]

I just saw the full length (9 min) version of this and I like your sound better - a lot better. Great job.

[DOUGLA192]

@JayneMariefromDet where did you find it?

[JayneMariefromDet]

TERRIFIC Sound! absolutely terrific. :-)

[dreamshaka]

Love it !

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

Really cute! I liked the motif with the chip bag. Really well done. Kinda qished for more of a resolution, though.

[xILostLoveIx]

awwh D:

[gammainn]

Amazing!

[dannnissucks]

amazing.. but sad

[DeidraTrueLove]

The animation was wonderful, and so was the story! I actually teared up because of it :(

[OhThatRandomGirl]

This is so wonderful! Great job! I almost cried.

[masterofhobbiton]

Beautiful. I was genuinely sad at the end.

[LanBao]

This was so bittersweet.

[holyknight234]

[susanoo7]

[nongski]

[kismyash123]

[Jovijov]

Amazing

[wwhulk12]

that was a sad story

[SevereRepugnance]

Beautiful, absolutely excellent

[carsonky]

Charlex created the You Might Think video by the Cars in 1984. This represents 25 years of animation experience

[grosmike678]

Amazing!

[BitterSweetUpriser]

[sotos1234567890]

[mapflu]

That was sad.

[HAWKNUTS4]

BROVO BROVO!!!!

[Raver92ss]

this is amazing video.

i dont like rats, but here are so pretty... :-)

[Amyn2007]

touching, very moving.

[pochacco86]

It's like an action movie...for rodents. It's well done. VFS movies never cease to amaze me.

It has suspense, villains, love story, damsel in distress, everything!!

[letsshoot]

Sniff great piece of work. To bad they couldn't be together :(

[piotrhennig]

That must have been a packet of CHEESY wotsits

[Dxox82]

noooo :(

whyyy?

THIS WAS AMAZING.

[BigDaddyFraze]

Excellent work all around. Great camera shots, audio, models, composition, story... extremely well done! 10/10

[WinglessFlutters]

Omg. WHY?! Why couldn't it be a happy ending *goes to sob for five hours*

[Anguista]

This really just makes me want to give my rats Cheetos. Aside from that, I really like this. :D

[ariannaspizzico]

molto valida la qualità del video oltre alla tenerezza intrinseca del messaggio: Mi è piaciuto molto!

[jnorthey1992]

great vid, lots of work definately went into the special effects, Bravo!

[tytoos1985]

This is FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!

[paulenrique]

The Black Rat was a lab rat too ... i think he knew the white rat ... hope he finds a way in again.

[Gnomusy]

Vey impressive work, indeed. Yeah, the ending is too much er ... human?

[xaver54]

Sirkian.

[envoy3]

Effing cheetos, always gettin creatures in trouble.

[CoverMoreGround]

[O87y]

[blackninjakat]

So sad...

[milkaannddhoney]

it was good, but was the piano really necessary?

[jySarang]

Yes it was.

[littlejay123]

sigh... sound design.. again..

[dfjkslsdfjkl]

lol....rat love....how cute

[AVTPro]

How did you get those rats to follow the script and ignore the camera so well? Are they professional actor mice?

Great story.

[LiquidBlueFlame]

wow plz tell me that was a joke.... -_-

[AVTPro]

I spent hours, days, weeks trying to get rats to do that and all they do is eat the cheese ball and look at me as if want another.

[rulix36]
