Generators are cheap to rent at hotlights. Google them and they will come up.

And a word of advice. You are going to want a LOT more light than a tota and two pro lights. You are going to want 1 and 2K lights. Several of them. I haven't shot at night with that camera, but I've done HVX night shoots. You need a lot more light than you think. So don;t skimp on it and get there and not have enough.

All the camera settings in the world aren't going to help you without light.

I don't know what the scene is, but if it;'s in the city, another option is to shoot it under a bright street lamp or something. use what's there.
 
If you decide on a generator, be careful. If you are in the city you need to look into getting a permit to shoot because if you are caught running a generator without permission and or shooting on a tripod in one spot for a long period of time you could get into some trouble. I have heard many stories from around the orlando, fl area about people getting pushed out from the police for not having permits to shoot.

If you are in a small city then you should be ok for shooting without a permit. But running a generator is a different story, you need to check into that.

Use what light is available like Mark said.

Good Luck!
