Tip #1: Don’t Shoot into Windows
Part of guerrilla video production is being adaptable and creative with what you have.
I very rarely get my pick of where I shoot an interview. Most of the time, clients lead me into a interviewee's office or the local conference room, all the while beaming with pride of securing such a wonderful place for us to shoot.
In over 3 years of web video production experience, I have done lots of experimenting with shooting into windows. Usually, it's about the best option in Mr. CEO's office. While I haven't always pulled off the look I wanted, I have continuously improved. (Keep in mind we only use 1 light, but more about equipment another time.)

Playing with backlight and color balance can give you varying effects. It's all about trial and error.
The following is from a web video I produced recently. It was shot in a room full of windows, and my videographer thought I was crazy when I told him what I wanted to do it.
While there is always room for improvement, I think it turned out just fine.
