Once again, I appreciate the comments.
Rixster, in regards to the background in the Halloween video:
To create the background, I simply google imaged "spooky forest," found an image I liked and ordered prints via Walgreens' photo center. They have numerous poster options, and I ended up ordering two 24x36s and one 11x14. I then made any additional cuts that were necessary. The quality of their prints exceeded my expectations.
If this is something you are considering doing, I would advise checking Walgreens' online promo codes daily. Although they tend to do more photo promos, they do occasionally have coupons/promo codes for their posters as well. When I ordered the posters, I was able to use a code that took 40% off the entire order.
Additionally, to help transition the Halloween village into the background poster, I also placed numerous (about a dozen) "dead" trees in front of the poster. To do this, I used a Woodland Scenics tree kit, refrained from putting any foliage on the trees and spray-painted them black. You can also bend the tree branches to your liking.
Hope this is helpful.
