In some brickfilms I have seen completely black backgrounds. I just wondered how you make those?
Example: Insomniac Animations' Stan's Secret
You have a bright light shining on a set surrounded by black walls, and turn down the exposure until everything you want to be is black. At least I think that's how it's done. Hazzat did something like that, so he can tell you out of experience. 
When I get my Logitech Quickcam Pro 9k I will try to play with the exposure settings. The exposure settings on my current camera sucks. Thank you for your feedback 
Use black cloth and use indirect lighting (pointing the lamp away from the set) or obstructed lighting (putting a wall in front of the lamp.

Turning up the contrast can also help quite a deal.
