This is what Photoshop is for my friend. I doubt you’ll find a pre-made beanstalk that’s tall enough. But with a few (meaning several) reference pictures and the clone/stamp tool, you can easily come up with a nice result.

The way I see it, from what you wrote, you’re walls may not be aligned correctly to begin with, and it shows more obviously when the camera is zoomed in tight. Go to a different view other than the camera, zoom in close, and see if they are aligned how you thought. It may be that a wall is rotated a little too far, for instance 88 degrees instead of 90.
The white background is just a white 2D solid, with a radial ramp applied to it.

By the sound of what you’re asking for, I have a tutorial here that could get you on the right track.

If you set the solid color to black, and the stroke to white, you can set the other layer (the one you want to reveal) to use the stroke as a luma matte.

Try removing noise first, and then brightening with the Exposure effect; find a gentle balance between these two.

Generally one would start by changing the layer’s transfer mode to color burn or something similar (play around with this), and keyframing the opacity from 0 to 100 percent. If the background moves you should parent the text to the background (unless the background is a pre-rendered video file, in which case you’d have to track it).

Are you referring to the background color? That can be changed by going to Composition—>Background Color.
It sounds like you’re talking about the interface colors though, and that can be changed by going to Edit—>Preferences—>User Interface Colors.

Select the layer, hit ‘u’ to reveal all animated properties, select them all, then hold down alt (or option on a Mac), and drag the end or beginning points to scale them in time proportionately.
Or you can just precompose the text layer(s), moving all attributes to the new comp, right click the precomp, and choose Time—>Enable Time Remapping. Now add a keyframe at the end of the animation and drag it to the left to speed the animation as you want.

Duplicate the layer, apply the effect you want, such as CC Radial Fast Blur, then drag it behind the original layer, so the rays will only come from behind.
