Amphibious Love Story: “Croak” by Frida Ek

Animade designer/animator Frida Ek creates plenty of atmosphere and emotion using minimalist characters and clever palettes in this animated tale of a frog’s ill-fated quest for love.

Frida Ek: “I wanted to do something that looked visually different to what I’d done before and play around with backgrounds to create a range of environments, giving the sense of a bigger journey for the frog.”
