I currently shooting in my garage too. The space has two overhead fluorescent light, but I'm also using three soft boxes that I try to keep out of view.
The scene does not need to be well-lit by artistic standards, but you do need to minimize dark cast shadows on the performer and the floor. This is what I'm using the softboxes for, but if you don't have additional lights, you might try large white boards (like foam core maybe,) to bounce light off the floor and reduce shadows. Another option: if it's daytime, open the garage door to let natural day light bounce in. (This assumes the cameras are all facing inside and looking away from the garage door of course.)
I'm using a solid backdrop to cover things on the walls. It's a chromakey screen, but I don't think the color matters much so long as the performer has good contrast against it. You can get very large muslin backdrops from photography supply stores, and if you shop around you may find them a lot cheaper than bed sheets.
