When you're lighting a long take---where the camera is moving----how is this accomplished?
In long takes where the camera is static or barely moves, you can pre-set lights. But how about long takes where the camera is moving?
(Disclaimer:I'm coming at this question as someone who's a complete novice to lighting)
There are recent examples such as Childern of Men , Magnolia, GoodFellas, and Secrets and Lies, and older stuff like Touch of Evil, Weekend, Paths of Glory.
Here's a recent example from youtube:

The setup is this: Matt M is running through a PJ at night with a hostage. The camera is following him thorough the entire scene from the beginning of the door break---till they get into the car.
Is the lighting all "ambient" light ? There were sections where it was dark, but I did not mind because of the action(story/acting/sound/movement).
How was this lit?
At the end, where they climb over the fence, the stedi-cam op must have had a staircase built ahead of time, so where they also light sources scattered throughout?
