croak

An oldie that is still very close to my heart - my first ever short film that follows a lonesome frog, looking for love in all the wrong places. At the heart we have our squishy pink toad, travelling through a variety of brightly colored environments, breaking off the ambient surroundings with its confused and perhaps marginally desperate attempts at wooing.
