I really like the tall buildings.

The tall buildings looked more like poles to me, to be honest.

The Trip - BRAWL 2012

yah those buildings are awesome, but could use a little finessing. I wouldn't show the studs cause that makes it look small.

Make them taller.

White skyscrapers are rare, so you may want some color variance. Like blue (i.e. glass), or black, or beige.

Using the skyscrapers in the background like that makes the scene disproportionate.

I would recommend a textured building (or 2, 3, whatever) in the background. And maybe have it farther back for more depth.

I'm not sure of what you mean. Could explain better?

There's no way he can solve that without using CG work though. He said he doesn't have enough white pieces to make them full-scale model skyscrapers.

You might want to try chroma-keying if you don't have a large area for a set and have the ability to do it.

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

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.
