Where could I find lanterns and flashlights I could actually use to light a scene. Any place in LA that has those already made?

I was wondering if anyone had specific technical information on the ways they accomplished the different Watery-Firery lighting effects on that film.

My understanding was that pushing the stock 2 stops would raise the contrast. If it raises the toe of the curve, does it mean it lowers the contrast then? If I want a little of that horizontal blue streak but not much, and I need lenses that perform best at a very small stop, what would be my best lens choice? I may get my camera package from Slow Motion Inc. Also, If I want the highlights to blow out in a glow like in Natural Born Killers, how do I accomplish that best with anamorphic lenses? Thanks

Hi, I was wondering if anyone tested anamorphic lenses with a 1/4 white promist versus the Fogal 110 on the back of the lense? It looks like I may shoot a small indie movie with a Movicam Compact and a series of Elite lenses. The movie will be mainly lit with flashlights. I won't have time to add much light since on a tight schedule and I was thinking of pushing the Kodak 500ASA low-con stock 2.5 stops to then give the lens a 2.8. Is a 2.8 enough with the Elite series? Any insight would be highly apreciated. Thanks <_<
