so i'm shooting about 25 individual commercial portraits tomorrow and i really would like to set up one of my speedlights for rim lighting and the other for fill on their face. i would be setting up in a long hall way so i have plenty of room and the ceilings are 10-12 feet high. does anyone have a link to a site that would help me fine tune some of the details for creating this sort of light? thanks so much!

I'm not sure if I have any specifics to help you, but you should definitely poke around the One Light Forum for some help.

Also check out Zack's blog and Strobist, and I'm sure you'll find some info to help you out!

I'd definitely practice, then download the images tomorrow morning before doing it for real if you get the chance - it'll make your setup faster and help you make sure you nail it.
