Of Frogs and Gods

My hand-drawn animated film "Of Frogs and Gods". A group of frogs, who once lived in harmony, disagree about whether to worship a log or a rock, both of which have fallen from the heavens into their humble swamp.

Awesome! All frogs have their special character, the croaking is hilariously pictured! :) About the direction of the story I'm divided. On one side I love the way human behaviour is depicted here with some great humour. On the other side when I started watching I expected a clip which is LESS humanizing the frogs (also not picking this "war" theme). I hoped for a view which is more exploring the nature itself (like those awesome croak movements) or even show reality from a frog-souls view :)

@hoppetosse8 I've gotten a lot of good feedback since it was featured on the AniBoom channel. Most of the criticism dealt with the slow pacing of the film (which I tend to agree with). This feedback is the most useful and insightful I've gotten so far. Thank you!

@bpattullo I'm glad you appreciate my comment ;) your film is truly inspiring! love especially the moments like 0:42 ff, when the frogs are croaking at the moon and that you are solely working with sounds - well I'm a bit shamanic/geomantic-tinted LOL :D

have a great day!
