Nice animation

So this was a nice animation here it was some solid work and great frog like character, onlything for me is that it ended kind of short, but the animation itself was amazing so keep up the great work

~~SUGGESTED IDEAS~~
would be nice if longer

~X~

jcunliffeuk responds:

Thanks for the kind words and feedback Wayne.

I know this animation is more or less experimental and my question is more or less rhetorical.

But why would the frog even have an advance remote controlled bomb when they're living in an era where people uses wooden rafts to cross rivers? It seemed like a cheap way to solve a confrontation at that time or even to serve as an exaggerated punchline joke.

jcunliffeuk responds:

Hi Shadowtz, thanks for the comment and questions.

Would you want to spend a fortune on a better raft if monsters from the woods keep abusing your service? It's easier to rebuild a wooden raft than a boat.

In theory, all of his money goes towards his 3 kids; Young Alen, Omega Steve and Chad Pole. He's a hard working father trying to provide for his family.

Being an adult, knowing the world in which he lives. He installed the bomb because he knows it isn't a safe place. He can jump off the raft and swim away (being a frog). The blast would incapacitate any would be assailants and later allow him to retrieve the lost coins (although it would be a bit of a scavenger hunt)

The demon symbolizes greed, the bad client. Someone who wants to take what you have irregardless of how it affects you. Frigsby doesn't fight back because, he's a little guy and would probably die if he confronted the demon head on.

But he isn't weak, he's planned ahead for these kind of scenarios and it plays out as he would have intended it to.

In terms of the era, it's fantasy. It might be a bomb infused by magic. Maybe it's remote controlled and more scientific than that. It's really open to the audience to interpret how they like.

Short yet Nice!

jcunliffeuk responds:

Thanks Zerohour2k12!

😂 beautiful, 🧐 the frog knows his stuff 🤭

jcunliffeuk responds:

Thanks, he sure does.

Nice. It's weird because I think the best thing about the short is how the explosion was animated. The rest was kind of rusty.
