in the 1st part of the film bring the volume up on the spoken word unless you dont want the words to be heard clearly , a fish eye lens may add some visual pov that could provide a alternative view from inside the tank

The sound is intentional. As you may hear the background audio fades away in the middle of the piece (during the discovery) to let the voice take over to create an audio focal point. About the fisheye idea, that could be a nice touch for a revised version of it. I was not totally happy with the contrast, some parts of the image that are perceived as repetitive even though they are different takes but I think the viewer gets the overall idea of a fish dreaming about freedom.

Fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, although in the reality tv era we live in today people do not like to use their brains. I entered this competition with this approach: My video is intended to make YOU think, not think for YOU. Great job 5 stars. Check out "Surreal Decisions."

You know fishes only have a 30 second memory. Great vid guys.

Our average life spam is only 75 years while a planet "lives" a couple of million of years. Time is theorized as non-existent. What exists is the perception of time helped by yet another cage defined as "clock." Thanks for your comment belinda, much appreciated.

Actually, most fish have memory spans of more than 11 months. Its a common misconception that they only remember for 30 seconds. Some types of fish are very intelligent - they can solve puzzles, learn tricks (awesome, right?), defend their homes and care for their babies. Fish are more complex beings than most give them credit for.
