Your Friend the Rat

This Pixar short, directed by Jim Capobianco, appeared on the Ratatouille DVD.

 My contribution 

I worked primarily as a compositor on a number of shots for this short.

My roles on this clip were many:

Doing ink and paint - all of the soldier, the rat, the elephant’s animating arm and trunk. 

All compositing - I had one rat and duplicated this to make the swarm. I animated the transition between the soldier and elephant, and added the elephant bounce on top of the rat.
