Some Gear Advice for a Small Set

Hello All.

First off, thanks for the many helpful posts! I have already been learning a ton from all of you.

I am the media specialist at a year-round camp. I video and photograph mostly outdoor activities and have not had a real big need for lighting. However, a project has come up that I need some help with.

What would you recommend I need to light a small set (5ft to 8ft across) for a host and several puppets. The set will be along the lines of a Sesame Street or Muppet type where there will be one person who is primarily stationary who will be interacting with one or two puppets. It may be an office scene, living room, as well as other areas in a home. We are not planning on any natural light.

Even some ballpark suggestions would be helpful.

Much Appreciated!
