I really like your idea here and I think I will attempt to be artistic with the tools I have instead of going to great lengths to try and make something happen that might not. This shoot can certainly be artistic and interesting lighting could really add something to the footage I am capturing tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your advice! I think it is so awesome what you guys do for people on these forums. I am a grad student and study whenever I can on my own, but there is nothing like being able to reach out to trained professionals for personalized advice on this. Thank you so much again.
