Most probably, the calibration went wrong, and you've got invalid camera positions as result.
I suppose you try with PS Eye configuration. For good calibration, the most important thing is that the light marker is visible to ALL cameras most of the time during a calibration shoot.
Regarding lighting. You don't necessarily need any special lighting equipment.
For calibration purposes it is good to have dim lighting, so the light marker is the brightest object.
For action shooting, general requirements to environment/actor are:
- reasonably bright lighting, so colors are well distinguished
- no directional lighting to avoid harsh shadows
- actor's clothes substantially differs in color from surroundings
- actor's arms have other color than his torso (T-shirt over long sleeves is preferred clothes)
Windows are usually a source of directional lighting, especially on sunny days. So better to cover them if the room lighting is sufficient.
