A Local group is hosting a fashion type show this weekend with girls walking the 'runway'.

The room has inset florecent light units in the ceiling. I shot some last year with no flash but thought about trying this year with either my flash and bracket, or possibly setting up an umbrella unit with an AB800 and wireless trigger.

Thoughts on what might produce the best results?

Tony,
I think that typically, flash isn't used for runway since you don't want the model blinded at the end of the runway, turn around, and walk off the edge. If you have any control or influence over the presentation, I would suggest simply setting up extra lights along the runway and a bit of extra lighting at the very end so that their "Kodak moment" is sufficiently lit for your ,and all the other photographers and videographers, photos down at the end of the runway.
