Quinton, I've shoot over 100 interviews for documentaries on all types of subjects. Your approach is very professional and the right one, but I think you will see as you start to shoot more interviews, that a good location is always your best friend. You have the basics down pack, I wouldn't stress it much, like I said just make sure you have a good location to shoot and place your subject against a descent background. After a while it becomes natural to the point where I feel conform table showing up to interviews without any lights what so ever and using natural lighting. This is only the case though when I know I'm shooting a great location with a lot of space.

Please move to appropriate section.

Would be interesting if we could compile a gallery of the first films or films before they become known, of famous cinematographers working today. Ideally it would be stuff that is available to see online. For example, a hot cinematographer right now is Bradford Young, known for Selma and A Most Violent Year I was able to find some of his early work like the short film below. The Evil Eyes (Short) http://vimeo.com/30430831 Another one is Hoyte Van Hoytema know for Interstellar. Chlorox, Ammonium and Coffee Anyways, you get the idea. I think it would be fun to find some of these work that these DP's might or might not be proud of.
