I've done an example in GIMP of what it could look like.

[img]http://www.majhost.com/gallery/RPHoogle/BFpartyPics/mp_background_idea.jpg[/img]

Obviously you wouldn't want real buildings you'd want lego ones. But if you build some big buildings and take a picture you might be able to put it behind the minifigs and it might create the right depth. Also it might be possible to manipulate the image so the buildings do look bright and white like you are hoping. Also I agree that it would help if you didn't show the studs. Those can be easily removed in Gimp if there is to be no camera movement in the shot.]]></content>

I might think on doing that. Until now I only put white buildings in the background as examples, plus, the movie is set in the future, where everything should be more brighter and shining and all that stuff.
Anyway, I've taken another frame, with updated background. I just discovererd I'm unable to "delete" those studs because of the lack of smooth platforms. Critiques and suggestion are welcome.
