C100 Mkii Need Lens for Music Video

Hi!

My first post here. I'll cut to the chase.
I'm shooting a music video in a few weeks, and I have about a $200 budget on picking up a nice rental lens. Shooting with the C100 Mark ii. All day I've been looking up what lens to pick to make the main talent in the video POP. We want this to be pretty sharp but it's only going to be on Youtube. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

I'm using a Lowel DV Creator 44 Kit. 4 lights.
I was just looking thru allot of footage online of different lenses, and it made me think to use something besides my Canon ef 24-105mm.

That's a fine lens.

Overall it's a minor consideration but the 17mm-55mm is slightly better.
I suspect with a side-by-side using the exact same lighting and focal length
(say 50mm) very few people could tell the difference. A top of the line
Ziess CP.2 50mm would be better. However, the reality is if you want to make
the talent POP you can do so with the lens you have and much better lighting.
