The animation Fishbowl is stop-motion animation
criticising naive audience. This video is excerpts of film. The audience will test their trusty for ethos while watching, and these scenes are those tests. The first scene is eyeball explaining how ice cream tried to harm him. This shows eyeball's paranoia symptoms. The ice cream set was made with a mixture of cotton and shaving cream to express the slimy and puffy texture of ice cream. The second scene is Eyeball walking through an old knife holder. This scene shows the hallucination symptom of schizophrenia. Eyeball counters threatening words written on the wall, which are hallucination, expressed with special ink glows in UV light. These scenes allow the audience to approach this animation is related to schizophrenia, and further doubt the whole story the narrator conveys. Also both scenes give heterogeneous vibes from it's vibrant colours and ominous sound.
