CheckTheGate – part 1 – “Welcome aboard”

Yesterday I went for my first meeting with Jose Mineiro at the film production company Check The Gate, where I will be doing my internship for the upcoming months. And it allready was a learningful expierence by only talking to him. I learned he works with the best equiptment (RED for example) and people in Portugal. He basicly only does international projects, which is pretty awesome as well! I will be able to work on the set a lot of times and learn more about DOP and directing. Also working in postproduction is a possibilty and maybe even working as a scout together with a professional every now and then. A wide range of jobs which is just great, really. Our conversation ended with a bica (a small Portugese coffee) and Jose shaking my hand while saying “Welcome aboard”.

Down here are three photos I made yesterday. Photo 1 one is the ‘view from the office of Check The gate.’ Photo 2 is ‘Metro life at ‘Cais do Sodre’, Lisboa’. And Photo 3 is ‘People become art in a metro hall of ‘Cais do Sodre’, Lisboa.’ The last two photos I shot on my way back home.
