- Go for a LEAST a 12 foot height on your wall, you'll thank me later
- whenever you want to do a low angle shot.

- Lowell lights are readily available in camera stores. Check out

- A real gaffer would be quite a bit of help in defining your power
- needs. OTOH, a generous supply of AC circuits is what you need, so we're
- talkin' y'know, 15 minutes of consultation.
-
- A lighting grid of course is what you want. A structural engineer is
- probably more important than a gaffer. Make sure your ceiling is strong
- enough.
