Thanks xian. I hadn't planned any power cables though they're are a few small pipes branching off. I think i'll be doing lights then cameras. There's actually 6 different camera animations so i'll probably create 6 seperates scenes with their own camera and light setup.

I do have one issue to overcome. In the image i posted there's a lack of shadow for now. Tha main light, a spot light is emmitting specular and diffuse but i dont want to receive specular on the wall from this light so it's unlinked from this light, hence no shadows. I have another spot light closely in the same area and it emmits only diffuse on to the wall. Any suggestions on a workaround?
