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.

At Paitan Media, our mission is to fuse storytelling and technology to craft a distinctly African voice — globally relevant, culturally authentic, and technologically fluent. From real-time rendering to AI-generated datasets, from animation pipelines to youth training initiatives, we’re building the creative infrastructure Africa needs.
