So... they have a variety of light set ups there... can I utilize some of it to make my own lighting for HDV?
I tried recently with a lamp, of about 40 watts and taped laminated green paper over the hard light to give it a softness for the key light. From the side (fill light), I used either natural lighting or a smaller lamp with about 20 watts. Here's how it looked:

I know it's not that great -- but I REALLY wanna improve my lighting. I like the lighting from Collateral and the lighting from Sherlock Holmes... I know that's unrealistic, but I want something suitable for someone who shoots no-budget features, shorts, and web series. Stuff I can pick up from somewhere as common as IKEA or wherever else?
Please help.
