( Our story )
Started with one borrowed van in 2017. Still close to the floor.
Gatelight began as two friends, one camera and a borrowed van, shooting music videos for bands who couldn’t pay much. Within a few years the bands got bigger, brands started calling and the van ran out of room.
Today we run a stage, two edit bays and a colour room under one roof. The team stays small on purpose: the people who pitch your film are the people who shoot, cut and grade it.
( Inside the building )
The stage
400 m² of stage with a 12 m cyclorama, full blackout and drive-in access for cars and sets.
The suite
Two edit bays, an HDR colour room and a 5.1 mix stage, a short walk from the set.
The kit
Cinema cameras, a full lighting and grip package and our own vans, so we can be on location tomorrow.
( How we work )
Three rules we don’t break
01
One crew, start to finish
The people on set are the people in the edit. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off.
02
Ideas on paper before money on set
Every shoot is boarded and timed before anyone is booked.
03
Small on purpose
We take on a handful of films at a time, so each one gets our full attention.
