My cousin said they did nearly the same thing for some shots in See No Evil... I thought he said there was even a bus scene... but so far I'm just looking at the DVD on my desk and wondering when I'm going to watch it.
Thanks for the post... that is kick ass to see lighting on THAT level.
In Children of Men, it was towards the end of the film, before the second plot point; they were headed into the prison colony which had access to the harbor.
I don't think that these are Kino's at all. Rather, they are very large softboxes with multiple sources, perhaps something like a bunch of Mole Decapods.
