Good interview lighting reference.

Today I am listening to a new album by DJ Koze – knock knock.  Really digging it.  As I’ve gotten older I seem to gravitate more and more to noisy music. I think it’s the use of non-melodic or inorganic samples that blend with the beat. It is definitely some kind of  post-industrial nostalgia, but I’m okay with that…

So I was searching for the phrase “What do we talk about when we talk about God”. Was was sure I wasn’t the first person to think of this phrase but I need to verify.

I found a book by a Rob Bell, with the same title. Apparently he’s a super famous preacher in California. I dug a bit and found an interview where he gets completely eviscerated on a radio talk show – its very hard to listen to – I think he almost starts crying  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . So down this christiandom rabbit whole I go and find this video.

Not only is the topic of the the doc well conceived, but the lighting is fantastic. I especially like the use of the warm hard light on brown skin and as a hair light, it pops off to give an awesome halo, especially on the ladies.
