I think it looks pretty nice. The foreground seems a bit empty. Also, you may want to fix the slight angle going on, the frame is a bit tilted and it's slightly distracting.
I agree that the foreground seems a bit empty, but it may fit in the context of the film, I don't know.
Thanks for all the feedback! I will certainly try to fix that slant, and hopefully the emptiness will give the film more feeling, but this is all hope. Haha.
Personally, I would have added some elements and props between the camera and the minifigure to make the interior look a bit more dynamic and realistic. I do this quite frequently in my films, especially outdoors. I'll add something that is almost right at the camera, which can serve as some natural framing on either side of the character, but is not in focus and doesn't detract from the scene. Take for instance the trees that are right up next to the camera lens that create some natural framing in this shot:
And also in this one, you can see the sheep and a tree that are really close to the camera inbetween the main action that create a nice framing and more dynamic look.
I know you've already filmed that shot, and it looked really nice! Just a tip I thought I'd give for future scenes and productions that can really up the "wow" factor in your shots. 
Here's another image From Batman Instant Freeze. 
looks good Brickcorp45

Thatnks Spider! I certainly try to get more things into the shot, my next scene is like a backyard, so I should have fun with that!
@BrickCorp45 I really like the set BrickCorp! I think the light is a tiny bit too dark, so hopefully you can just turn up the shadows a bit when you're editing.
I was experimenting with lighting and shutter speed this afternoon, and this is one frame. I plan to reshoot pretty much everything from today.
I like how the lighting looks on the figure very much.
Everything behind the chair looks wrong, though.

How so? I'm reshooting this anyway, so please tell me.

The background is quite bright.
I feel like everything behind the chair should be black. Perhaps you should make it be a darker colour and further back without any light shining upon it.
Though, a nice stained glass window would also do quite well as well.
Here's a shot from one of the scenes of our next Brickfilm. Its going to be just our second film, but we've learned a lot from the first one and some test shots we've done. Turns out, we are learning a lot on this second film also We're hoping this one turns out very well.
I feel that the camera should be level with the character's faces.
The wall appears kinda blank. I can tell if it's outside or in a garage. If it's the latter, it would do well with some tools, tyres, and other things set up there to make it less blank. If it's outside of a building, it could go with some more detail on it, or perhaps a dustbin.
I like the colours here, though.
The frame is ok, but is pretty bland. ANP beat me to saying that the wall is really blank and could use some detailing. One thing I do like is how clear the photo is.
Thanks for the thoughts, guys. We think that the set fits well within the whole of the scene, but you can be the judges. We anticipate this film being completed in about 1.5 weeks, so when we post it on the releases board, let us know if the set still comes across as bland. Constructive feedback is always welcomed.
Its more from a test, butt whateva. 
That looks really cool.
@ghostofmrsdaystudios The lighting and framing is pretty cool here. My only remark is that you can see a red light (from your camera possibly). The rest all looks fine and dandy!
@Noobster Looking good! I really love the lighting in the shot, as well as the reflection. It does seem like the camera is tilted ever so slightly. How did you manage to animate in that small lift/corridor part (might be that my hands are just big)?
Anyway, here's a frame of my upcoming movie. It's weird working on the film (in a nice way) because it's terribly depressing. The sticky tack you can see in the frame is unnoticeable in the movie. It goes by far too quick. Constructive criticism is appreciated!
