Not creepy enough!

I thought the topic of this animation would be fairly popular on YouTube. It's like trying to guess which song is going to be a 'hit'. Some other videos on the same topic haven't generated much interest but I still enjoyed making it. I used SmartBones, texture fill, Z-axis, a 'stormy sky' image and YouTube music.
I don't want to creep anybody out. If you've seen my posts you know I'm harmless. I don't mind if you jump on me for the topic.

Hey 3deeguy,
Personally I would cut to a shot of a REAL eyeball rather than use an animated one. The animated eye tends to let the mood drop off and you need to keep building up the creepyness

Cheers

How about an en'graved' or woodcut look . much like on the real thing... its pretty creepy

DK and Chucky, I wish I hadn't been afraid to ask the forum for feedback.
Animating the engraved eye on the dollar is a major challenge. That is a great idea but in order for it to work it would have to look like it was on the dollar.
I'm gonna try.

Some years ago I animated Ben Franklin http://slowtiger.de/examples/franklin.mov in AS.

The raw material was some hi-res scan of a dollar from wikipedia.

slowtiger, that's it! Would you mind sharing how you did that?

slowtiger, I continue to be amazed at your knowledge and your generosity in sharing it. I remember telling my wife a few years back that a professional animator from this forum (you) drew diagrams and made a video clip to help me learn this stuff. It made me work even harder.
Thank you.
