Lighting a large crowd scene, shot on a StediCam

[Guest]

At our shoot tomorrow we are doing a long stedi cam shot through a club around a ton of people. How should I go about lighting this? I really have no idea. Here are the two sketchs of what the scene is like> I suck at drawing but you should get the idea. I wish i would have posted here earlier, i am shooting at 9am tomorrow so post back asap. Thanks

Oh the yellow is where I think the lights could go but i SUCk at lighting. I have 2 omnis and 2 totas , so im not working with a lot BUT the club we are shooting in his pretty good lighting already so i just need a littl ebit more. It needs to look like a club, of course, and the camera will be white balanced to bring out the blues

Sweep your lights so they cast long slits across the crowd. In other words mount them high (ceiling if you can) Open the barn doors vertically so there is a slit that allows light to come out from top to bottom and let that shaft of light sweep across the crowd so they are in and out of the light.
