Is there a software package for Mac, Linux, or Windows that shows how to set up lighting or even shoots for video productions? Recently I have seen Mac software for photographers but that is very specific to photography equipment only.

3D would be better, lighting on faces as well as directional. 2D would only handle an overhead map but no real visuals.– Jeff ClaytonDec 25, 2014 at 23:14

It would be quite a lot of work, but possibly worth it for other benefits, but you could model your set/environment in Blender and then try out your lighting and camera positions using it.
The additional benefits are that you can greenscreen and/or generate special effects with the same model. It has been used for movies such as Project London.
Blender is a Free, Open Source, Cross Platform and very powerful 3D Modelling, Animation & Rendering tool. It allows you to position cameras and lights (of several different types) and animate their motions as well as the motion of scene elements.
