I did a quick skim-through and didn't seem anything similar, so I thought I'd ask...
So without getting into details, I'm going to have to be immobile for the next few days at least... depending if my toe is broken or not...
Well, I've had a few ideas about trying my hand at clamation and other forms of stop-motion.  My question is... to use a system of 3-point lighting in a small scale like that, what kind of lights should I use?  Should I use lights I would normally use on a live-action shoot and just use stuff to diffuse them and cut down the light as much as possible?  Should I just use those lights as-is?  Should I get some sort of smaller lights... even using household lamps and white-balance in my camera?
I want to light like film... I just don't know what kind of lights will work best for a small scale.  And just to give you an idea, I'm thinking the clay puppets will probably be between 1-2 feet tall.
Also... I was thinking of going down to the local craft store and getting some modeling clay.  Will that be rigid enough to stay where I want it and still flexible enough to move?
