Croak Show
India2024animated5'Short Film Competition
As night falls over the marshes, a wonderful frog concert begins. Tortoises, fish, snails and even a creeping snake pick up the rhythm of the music. Emotions are running high. Will the serpent, too, succumb to the crazy magic of sound? The creators of the animation consistently build tension. First, they show the concert from the perspective of the approaching predator, and then, they turn up the pace of both music and montage. As a result, ‘The Croak Show’ is a dynamic animation, full of anxiety as well as humour, which shows that one should not give up – even when things do not go as planned.

- Suresh Eriyat
Born in India in 1973, he graduated from the prestigious National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad specializing in communication design in 1997. He led teams for over two decades that has created animation films in 2D, 3D and pioneered Clay/Stop motion in advertising films in India, at a time when animation was relatively a new medium in the country as compared to the west. With his firm belief in the design process for communication solutions, Suresh has been instrumental in creating animated ad films by going beyond the traditional techniques and storytelling conventions that were popular then in India. His path breaking exploration of new visual styles to tell things differently yet effectively is perhaps the reason for an audience and a whole new industry that heralds an exciting phase of Indian animation.
