me again, I was asked to be "DP" for a student film, it is gonna take place in a big factory which is illumintated with fluorescent tubes, the student wants a wide shot of a kid and his mom playing on a pile of sawdust so i'm gonna have a lot of the factory in frame, I came up with 2 options leave the fluorescent on and light the section where the playing will take place with tungsten (provided by school (2)750w, (2)500w, (2)250w tungsten) or turn off all the fluorescent and light part of the background with homedepot work lights?

what is the quality of those home depot lights? are they gonna come up too orange? and if so can i cool it with 1/4 CTB?

we are using 16mm cp16 camera, vision2 200t film 7217 stock and the lens is kind of slow wider aperture 2.8
 
It may look interesting to have a tungsten-lit foreground with a blue-green fluorescent mixed with blue daylight background.

Do you really think it will look interesting, meaning technically would it work? or are you just kidding? :)
