I don't want to sound dismissive but, if you wouldn't really know, it might be better to let other people with practical experience offer advice. You get the reflection because light shining on the silver ring of the quickcam bounces off onto the set and shows up in the reflective surface of the bricks. It's not a whole lot of light but, if the bricks are of a dark colour, it's enough to show up. If the bricks are a lighter colour, it's less obvious. If the silver ring is covered up in some way, less light bounces off it and it reflects less.

As others have said, the best solution is to position the camera at an angle so that it doesn't show up at all in reflections. This isn't always possible, so an alternative is to mask the lighter coloured parts of the camera so they're not bouncing light onto your set.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Can't see the problem you are describing (is the reflection so big that it has become a new character in your film?), but have a suggestion:  
Have someone who is not a brickfilmer watch your sequence and ask them what they saw.  If they describe the action and not the reflection, you're good to go.]]></description>

Contrary to what BGanimations might say, yes, it works very well.[/quote]

			<description><![CDATA[Don't bother trying to cover up your camera, because it dosen't work that well, and then if you're making a shot with a different reflective color, it shows the black camera, so it's just as bad. My advice is that you have to accept that as a part of brickfilming, and find a way to cope with it, such as just shooting it at anangle, and not a straight reflection.
