Plot

A man, objecting to being filmed, comes closer and closer to the camera lens until his mouth is all we see. Then he opens wide and swallows camera and cinematographer. He steps back, chews, and grins.

Annoyed by the freelance cameraman's persistent attempts to film him, an irritated camera-shy man decides to take matters into his own hands. Steadily and without delay, the man moves closer and closer towards the camera until his colossal and out-of-proportion mouth devours both the unsuspecting photographer and his equipment whole. Undoubtedly, that should teach him a lesson.
