Well for one thing you probably want to make your house one color or just a few instead of a bunch stuck together...because it's a pain to the viewer. You might want to put papet over your lamps and light your set better.

   

Are you opposed to creating the effect in Post Production?

What do you mean you don't have enough bricks? If that set that is shown there is part of Apple Tree House, why did you take it apart? You should have left it the way it was instead of replacing it with colored bricks.

The solution to not havong enough bricks? Get more bricks. Get more of colors like white, black, tan, brown, light blue, sand green, and any other color that's not really bright. Lego stores have a Pick-a-Brick wall, a good place to get bulk bricks (and other elements). Also, go to Bricklink. It's a great place to get a lot of parts for a low price.

About the shine: I think it's caused by the light reflecting off the wall inside the house, which is then reflecting off the thing in front of the minifig, which is reflected in the minfig's hair.

i would suggest putting a piece of white paper taped onto your lamp, so it defuses the light. then it will show up nicely on the camera. also you can try to invest in another lamp, they're not that expensive. but, if you're a cheapo, like me you can try putting your lamp over the set looking down. idk, just some suggestions. oh and for the night scene thingamabobber, i would suggest to turn of your lamp and have a overhead light on, for kind of a faint glow. then put a blue piece of paper on the lamp for like a sort of moonish look, i have never tried this so it might look terrible, but i'm just tryin to help.
