lighting is an on going project. you never quite get it right, you just get better at it.
if you get one of the lowel kits your set. thats all you really need. In my opinion there are a few things to conqur that will get you on the right foot off the bat.
1. 99% of your shadows will be caused by yourself, especially in a gonzo scene.
2, always keep the bulbs at the same temp. I shoot at 3200 kelvin. It gives a good warm feel but also keeps the light white. Sometimes i throw a 5000 kelvin bulb if i want to add a slight blue tone. But i normally point that towards a white board and bounce it around so it simulates daylight.
3, white balance. Make sure you always white balance. And, white balance where the subject will be. Dont white balance in the corner somewhere, because thats not where you're shooting.
cheers
