Special Effects Shot Lighting - Please Help

[Gohanto]

Alright, there's a specific shot I'm going for that I need help lighting.

All that's in the shot is a short hallway and a door leading outside. When the door opens I want the Minority Blown out look (probably using a fogger to get light beams showing) but then a character walks forward he partially blocks the light and is seen only in silhouette. Any help on where to place lights to get this effect would be greatly appreciated.

I apologize for the delay in responding, and thank you for posting. Put a strong, hard light outside the door, aimed straight down the hallway toward the camera, and add haze inside so the beams show. Keep the hallway itself dark, and expose for the bright doorway so your character walking forward becomes a silhouette. A little backlight from the side can rim the edges. Test with a stand-in first!
