Shooting IR film is fairly complicated. I researched it for a project a while back, but decided against it.

 

There's a lot of good info at cinematography.net and at Clairmont's website.

 

I'm not sure about MiniDV and IR. Are you going for the FLIR look? I am unaware of any video cameras that achieve the same thing that IR film does, but an exceptional colorist/post person could maybe mimic it (I plead ignorance).

 

For lighting, and I don't recall where I heard this (I don't see it on quick review of those links), but I belive most tungsten sources emit quite a bit from the IR spectrum, particularly when dimmed down a bit on a squeezer.

 

Good luck!
