A surrealist dark animation sequence. Character throughout: The Clock Jester — child-proportioned jester figure, blood-red ornate harlequin costume with diamond pattern, pointed multi-bell jester hat, curled-toe shoes, pom-pom accents. Bone-white skin. Glowing red eyes. Wide open devouring mouth. Strict color palette: blood red #8B0000, bone white #F5F5DC, void black #0A0A0A. Aesthetic: fine grain texture, deep shadows, no bright highlights. Style reference: Francis Bacon meets Salvador Dalí meets Švankmajer.

0-3s: Extreme close-up of The Clock Jester's mouth filling the entire frame. Bone-white skin, blood-red costume smeared around lips, glowing red eyes half-visible at top of frame. Slow sensual chewing motion. Pure void-black background. Completely static camera. Metallic chiming implied. Unsettling stillness.

3-6s: Camera snaps back in three sharp jerks — each interrupted by a single frame of black like a skipping film reel. Reveals full-body Clock Jester standing in a void, no floor no ceiling. He holds a grandfather clock the size of a human body and eats it — biting chunks off the upper corner with focused animalistic indifference. Clock hands spin erratically. Black void background. Child-scale body against human-scale clock creates maximum visual tension.

6-9s: Slow orbital camera circles The Clock Jester at ground level, beginning at eye height and descending to near-crawling as it revolves. Surrounding him: vast red field where flowers have roman-numeral clock faces instead of blooms, each ticking at different rhythm, slowly rotating to follow the camera like sunflowers. Void black beyond the field absorbs all light. Diamond pattern of costume echoed in petal geometry of clock-flowers.

9-10s: Camera accelerates toward The Clock Jester's face . He opens mouth wide. Inside the throat: tunnel with many dissolving clocks. First-person flight through organic throat tunnel

10-14s: at the end of the tunnel we see strict top-down aerial shot descending slowly and vertically. Below: white skeleton wearing fragments of blood-red Clock Jester costume lying on red field of wilted clock-faced flowers. Jester hat beside the skull. One curled-toe shoe visible. Skeleton posed casually — one arm tucked under skull like a pillow. Beside the skeleton: one small fragment of clock face. Its hand still moves. Eerie stillness. Camera descends continuously toward that fragment until it fills frame.

CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT: blood red #8B0000 / bone white #F5F5DC / void black #0A0A0A. Vintage etching texture with film grain overlay. No clean digital look. Every frame could be a standalone dark illustration. Aspect ratio 16:9. Cinematic.
