Tricky: I did not have much time to set up and I was worried about the
lighting. I trialled it bringing the person forward, dampening the flash
down, so that the flash intensity would fall off very quickly with
distance, then I diffused the flash and tried to angle the screen so it
would not easily reflect the flash. In the end it worked better than I
expected chimping at the screen

Cheers
