Tempting as it may be to use copyrighted material: Don't! You can make good movies without it. You were certainly set up to do so with the opening shot. Loved it.
However, the rest of the movie didn't really work. The characters lacked any kind of believability, which is different from "over the top". Though, I did love: "I love this tree!" That works.
Also, make sure you don't have too much "headroom" above your character's heads (especially in the interviews).
Thanks so much for your recommendations! the opening shot also uses a copyright song - the same Josh Groban song as later on. If you can, could you tell me what else you can use for music? Are there places to get non-copyright music to use for moviemaking?

Acting wasn't the greatest; had some funny moments (wish the sound was a bit better).

thanks! I remember when we watched it for the first time, we had tried to make it over-dramatic and actually sat there going "coooool......"
