The Third Man

1949, directed by Carol Reed

This was my first time filming an intro in Porto. We weren’t actually living here yet, but my work paid for an apartment here for a month since I indicated that this was where I wanted to live in Portugal. It would take another year before we finally moved from Lisbon to Porto for good. In this case, I had a friend of mine who was visiting from the US serve as my cameraman. This was filmed at Jardim de Morro, which is one of the busiest viewpoints of the city. I remember it took a lot of takes to get some relatively clean audio.
