Im happy to share my first wip of a fan-art from The Rock film. This is one of my favorite scenes, so I decided to try to re-create it with iClone. Theres still some shadow issues here and there, but its still a wip. Heres the original scene:

I like the backdrop, but the avatar I have a big issue with.

Head doesn't match the tone of the body though, I notice this issue a lot. To fix, check the box afect all materials with the same name in the material settings. 

Lighting wise, I say try the 3 point lighting system with spotlights. One key, one fill, and one back using spotlights and see if it helps.

bad advice
Downloading presets doesn't help the user people here need to learn lighting or continue to make bad video 

Thanks for your feedback and help, guys Yes, Im not an expert at lightning and rendering. Will get Indigo on my next payday, so Ill get more postprocessing and options then.

if i was in your shoes
i would just learn lighting from free tuts and websites
for a few months, this will make you stand out from the majority here...
then consider getting indigo in the future. or not...
you can do pretty good renders in iclone without it
99% of the indigo examples here show the user knows nothing about lighting or renderers
