I'd suggesting using Lexar or SanDisk CF - great exposure range and color
fidelity. Take a couple of test shots, adjust your exposure, and away you
go!

Oh, you mean using filum? No reciprocity issues as you won't need that long
an exposure, assuming that you're using reasonably fast film - don't forget
you're shooting lights. Assuming you're using 400 iso film - or 800 - I
don't think you're even going to need a tripod. Start shooting at maybe f2
at 1/60th, and go down from there.
