Looking great man,
I would be tempted to add a bit of variation to the chairs positions, random it up a bit, so to speak.
I would be tempted to add one eye to death, hehe like I did in the challenge!, that way its a bit freakey and it can direct where hes looking, in my mind a great shot would be death looking around with the camera very close to his eye maybe have his pupil diolate when he sees what hes after (via a animated texture made say in flash using the start and end images and tween it, rendering it out as a jpeg sequence, actually I think you might be able to do it with image ready the same way you do an animated gif but save it as jpegs) Might add a good bit of emotion, if its needed of course as youve kept the storyboard well under wraps!
Think I might give my idea a go myself just to see if can be done!
