Lighting dark skin for the screen [BBC]

"I felt that the cinematography should't prioritise lighter skin, the way that often it does when its not a black cast, or when its a black cast except that everyone involved is coming from the outside" The outside.. sounds like the skill of crew is now being based on their race? "Its about putting something for the skin to reflect that is whatever colour you want and that way you're not trying to change the skin colour, you're really just using it to expose itself." This sentence makes zero at all..They did this with season one, its just an advertorial for the show and full of offensive rubbish. Also claiming that 100 years of scientific development of celluloid film has been based purely on caucasian skin tones is such a wild and disrespectful accusation, I can barely believe it came out of a dp's mouth
