lighting this space

You'll want to use a lot of soft ambient light. White walls like that are tough to light because any hard light that hits it will appear as a hot spot on camera. My recommendation would be to use something like a couple open faced lights and bounce them off any white walls that won't appear in shot. To get to the talent bounce them off a piece of foam board towards their general direction. You can also bring up the light level using things like china lanterns. You will most likely want to be very careful about controlling the light so you don't get any spill onto the walls that will be in shot, that would be bad.
 
2-6k space light with half bulbs on. in celing
10k thrugh a 8x8 light grid. camera right
2 or 3 2ks for backedge lights. camera left
you might want to black out thoes windows incase any stray light comes in (Sodium vapore street lights or cars driving by.)

O Yes, your grip is going to ***** about hanging everything.
 
Have your talent wear sunglasses or they'll go blind.

But on the bright side...pun intended...you'll get that avante-garde look.
