It was difficult to capture the real appearance of the scene on camera, but overall I was pretty happy with the results. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of motion to the display (only the web wheel and and conveyor belt) so it didn't grab the attention of many Halloween visitors. Several people didn't really understand the concept which I expected to happen. In retrospect, I think having more props/machines, maybe some garbage cans here and there, would have helped. Perhaps having the skeletons wearing workers caps, and one pushing a broom, for example, to better support the "production line" idea.
In any event, Halloween is all about experiments and doing something different, so I chalked this project up to more construction experience and learning something new for next year.
