I'd like to meet:
Anyone and everyone, creative or not. Specially if they are interested in putting their creativity on film or video.
Filmmakers
We are interested in helping independent filmmakers. We love making films. If you, or anyone you know, wants to make an independent movie, full length or short, comedy or drama, musical or music video, send us an e-mail. If it's good we will find a way to help you out. If it's bad, well, you gotta have passion then. Something that shows us you aren't just doing it as a joke. Contact us here or at
[email protected] or go to www.shpfilms.com for more information.

We're good. We're fast. We're inexpensive.

Music Videos
The following is a music video produced and directed by Michael Kwielford . They used the same camera we have, the AG-HVX200 . It was shot in wide screen using the HD (High Definition) mode. HD can also be shot in full screen. If you are interested in making a video you can contact him directly at http://www.myspace.com/kwiel or contact us here or at
[email protected] or go to www.shpfilms.com for more information.

This video below was shot with an AG-HVX200 using a Redrock Microsystems lens adapter. It has much more of a film look with better depth of field. Directed by Rocco Cataldo , Produced by Michael Kwielford .

Television:
DVD of Your Live Set
This is what the AG-HVX200 can do for your band. It's shot in full screen using the miniDV mode (Mini Digital Video). Not HD (High Definition). We can also shoot in wide screen. Notice anything in red light looks bad. Red light does that to video. No way around it. Other colors look great. The more light the better. The sound quality is good. This all looks much better on DVD. Crisper lines and colors as well as sound. A word to the wise, tip your light guy. If you give $10 to the person in charge of the light show you'll get a better end product. It's worth it. The clip you see here would NOT be as good with a boring light show. Think about it. The band Joe DeRosa & The Dirty Dirty playing at Double Door in Chicago.
This is the first and least elaborate option for band DVD productions.

Below is a slightly more elaborate production. It's an example of what panning and zooming can do for your video. It also includes credits with contact information. Vital if you want to get the word out on your band. The band
How Far To Austin playing their song "Stateside Line" at Fitzgerald's in Chicago.
