Why not use flash with a flat modifier to shoot through. Wouldn't that be the normal way? Unless you are doing video.

As a photographer I light the model. I have three Balcar monoblocks with modifiers to do this.

I now want to do video. Because the model moves in the area I need to light the area. I don't have experience with cinematography. The question is what lights are the best for a first purchase for my use case.

I need to do the lights, audio, camera, direction, everything alone. So, ease of use helps also.
