I created a few of my own to the styles I shoot from magazines. They tend not to publish 100 images so it's easy to pick out tho best ones.

It's all about the video today. Also, if you shoot both video and pictures, you have to build two different settings or at least stop shooting video to take pics.
All too often, people are not able to get enough light into their videos and it looks mirky.
The setup you describe above will lead exactly to this problem (unless every video shoot is done outdoors)...
You're right I did miss out video lights. So add them to the list. It's no good trying to do it without the right equipment these days because you're competing with people who have the right gear.

Add to this video lights a $1,000 if you're not working in a barn and a mic with a lead or radio mic. Not sure of their prices.
