G'day mrmacca nice work!!! I recon you should light it first unless you already know what your camera shot is gona be. if you light it you may decide a different camera shot or sequence. then again if you allready have a shot in mind you can use the lights specificaly for that shot. I think I just succesfuly worte in a circle, sorry about that bro. nice pipes, any power cables or small pipes branching off? xian
