Lighting plan diagrams online?

I have been looking on the Internet, without success, for a website which publishes lighting plans -- actual diagrams of the set, with descriptions and positions of the lighting instruments -- for feature films. Does anyone know of such a resource, or do the lighting DP's keep that information to themselves?

Comments will be appreciated.
 
There are a few books, and an upcoming DVD, which does that, to varying extents.

Don't know of any repository of such things.
 
Alex Ballinger's book "New Cinematographers" has some lighting diagrams in it - Harris Savides' setups for The Yards, for instance. Many other great cinematographers in the book as well (Darius Khondji, Jean-Yves Escoffier, Lance Acord, etc). The bulk of the book is made up the cinematographers' words as they described their approach to particular films, but there are lots of stills and as I said some lighting diagrams too that give you some idea.
 
Blain Brown also has a few books with dvds on Lighting plots for various cameras and situations. Any big bookstore or library will have it. Or Amazon!
