Hey Chris,[br][br]
I didn't get if it will be just one long take or different shots that will be put together in editing.[br][br]
In both cases, anyway, I'd try to mount the lights on the roof in blind spots, so you can manage to have only, like, 2 stop of difference. How will you be filming it? Film or digital? Because film will handle the problem much better because of its greater latitude...[br][br]
Another important thing is the orientation of the place. Shooting in early morning or later afternoon may not be a good choice as the sun goes up or down very quickly.[br][br]
About the sheets on the groud, that is a very good idea, the DP for Scorsese (don't recall the name right now) does it frequently and it works.[br][br]
Hope I helped...
