Look at Me Only (あたしだけをみて) is a Japanese surrealist stop-motion short film created by Japanese animator Tomoki Misato (known for My Little Goat) within the Musashino Art University in 2016. After its release, it became successful in several animation festivals.
The film initially depicts a man being distracted by a cute guinea pig while on a date with a goth girl. The goth girl keeps insisting the man ignore the guinea pig and focus on her instead, and eventually, the guinea pig gets away from the man and he encounters a different girl, who he fantasizes about having a relationship with. Back at the table, the goth girl becomes more aggressive towards the guinea pig, which eventually bites her. She flings the guinea pig across the restaurant, seemingly killing it and the man rushes to help the guinea pig while the girl chases him into the men's room. In the restroom, it is revealed that the "guinea pig" was actually a smartphone, and that the relationship he imagined having with one girl was something he already shared with the goth girl, as shown by identical photos stored on his phone. He then leaves the bathroom and makes up with his girlfriend, and the two hug.
The first screamer appears at 2 minutes and 19 seconds, where the goth girl, enraged, gets closer to the screen and roaring at it. She gains a snake's head shape, 8 fangs, flying hair, and a realistic red tongue, accompanied by a demonic slithering noise. The second screamer appears at 5 minutes and 1 second, when the goth girl transforms into a giant snake along with the goth girl's body and the head from the previous screamer, albeit with a bigger mouth and yellow eyes, accompanied by a raspy shriek.
Trivia
- The film is mostly animated using wool or felt.
- The bee mascot costume is used as the profile picture for Misato's YouTube account.
