Here's the best advice you'll get : Ditch the lakeside idea. Probably it
wll require scrims, and a truckload of HMI's and the generators to run them.
I've been reading your other posts, and my sense of this matter is that
skills-wise you're just starting out, and budget-wise you don't have a lot
of money to work with. take it from me . . . this kind of shoot is damn
hard even for skilled folks with the right gear.
If the band wants to be amongst nature, put 'em against a wooded green
background, and shoot on an overcast day. Then enjoy teh shoot, and the
accolades you'll get when your video looks great.
