Loa Frida: Loa
2022 16+ 4 min
by Melinda Kádár
Animated music video created for French-Polish band Loa Frida. The song talks about those moments when we’re not entirely sure which way is up. Since the clip had a small budget, we decided to create it as a series of looping vignettes, which add up to create one large, detailed image. Each vignette is meant to evoke some strange sensation that the song is talking about, without being too literal.
