If you were moving at the speed of light would you have a shadow?

Yes. If I saw you move past me at the speed of light, and at the same time, you were measuring the speed of light with instruments that you were carrying, you would measure the same speed of light that everybody always does, regardless of whatever speed you were zooming past me. And as you passed by a star or a street light, you would cast just as good a shadow as you ever did. Physics 101, Introduction to Relativity. Wierd stuff.

Does velocity affect the speed of light?

The speed of light is always the same, as long as the light stays in vacuum or in the material substance it's in. The speed of the source generating the light, or the speed of the person who's measuring the light, has no effect on the light's speed. It will always measure the same number. That means: -- If a rocket is in space, flying toward you at half the speed of light, and the astronaut aboard shines a flashlight at you, and -- If you strap a jet-pack on your back and fly toward the rocket at half the speed of light, and -- If you measure the speed of the light from his flashlight as it shines past you, -- You'll measure the same speed of light as if you and the astronaut were both standing still. It can't be . . . But it is. It's been confirmed in thousands of experiments during the past 100 years.
