I like it but with your comment. I was thinking that if you put a 
coloured filter (sepia?) in front of the camera for that bit. It might 
enhance the feeling of surreality.

I think you have got it right with the timing. Remember, always leave

I can see this becoming a PovRay classic. :)
At the end you the video you mentioned putting water in the fish tank. 
This made me think of Tim Kikas's LSSM macros. With them you can 
generate a water surface that interacts with the environment. Air 
bubbles would create waves that reflect from the sides of the tank.

screen is blank the music continues.
