Paitan

“The Rat Trap” is Paitan’s first experimental animation project — an original story in early development. This blog kicks off our behind-the-scenes series exploring how we’re using Houdini, Unreal Engine, and AI tools like Forge to bring this chaotic kitchen comedy to life.

“True innovation demands the courage to create through fear. As an African filmmaker embracing AI and digital tools to tell bold new stories, I’ve learned that failure isn’t a setback—it’s part of the process. Inspired by Roosevelt’s timeless words on daring greatly, I believe the arena is where creators truly belong: dust, sweat, and all. This is the journey of building something meaningful, even when fear tries to hold you back.”
