Short Animation--Feedback

One of the things I wanted to know was whether or not what I had construed chaos like I wanted it to to. The feedback all echoed that the chaos was effective. The flower stilled the chaos a bit like I wanted it to. One person mentioned using sound, which while it was something I hadn't thought of, makes sense to me.

What I would like to do from here is to construct a door, something solid looking, that has a word/concept/idea on it and it would be opened to the chaos. Out of the chaos, different views of what that word/concept/idea are would come up to the door, wanting to be let in. The door would be slammed in each view's face. Eventually, something true to the actual word/concept/idea would show up and be "let in."

I'm hoping that there's a way to muffle sound somehow at various points throughout the piece so that it's quieter when the door is closed. As for feedback, I guess ideas on how to make a door swinging open would look semi-realistic, what kind of sound might be appropriate and just comments on how the idea sounds overall.
