Cover them over when your not animating with a cloth.
Vacuum Cleaner [/worst thing you could do]
An air compressor?
well, are the sets dusty before you began filming, or are you filming and then--DUST!
I might just get a Fan and use it before animating and then all the dust will be gone.
Don't leave then in the room where your brother set a plant on fire
Compressed air would be your best bet.
For small sets, I've been using freezer bags. But for a large set, I usually use large plastic Wal-Mart bag(s) or whatever.
Well I just softly wipe my sets with a moist cloth or tissue.
Just airbrush them with an air compressor.
Better use something like this thing, a bellows for a SLR. An electric air compressor is much to powerful.
Offtopic:
Could I use that dust compressor on it's own or would I have to buy like another thing to make it work?
Ontopic:
That won't really do much good though A.; it wont be powerful enough?
Cover your set with Plastic Wrap after you're done.
I would use one of the computer compressed air canisters. The ones they sell in computer stores and stuff to get dust and crap out of your keybord. It's powerful enough to blow the dust off, but controlled enough so everything doesn't go flying everywhere when you use it.
Thanks WGOAS I bought it and it works great!
Glad to have helped.
Funny, I used those all of last year to clean my negatives, bur it never occurred to me to use them for brickfilming.
Are those... are those Wolverine claws?
