We brought HD to Arizona in 2002

SWAT HD is the same team that has collected dozens of national, regional and local awards for over 25 years. We’re known for our ability to adapt to the ever changing world of technology. Starting with 3/4 U-Matic and Super VHS and then moving onto BetacamSP in 1995, we anxiously awaited the jump to High Definition. Sony opened the door in 2002 and we were the first in Arizona to have full HD production capabilities. We were the first to bring the famous Sony F-900 HDCAM 24p camera and the HDW-2000/2 24p HDCAM deck to Arizona. The F-900 was developed by Sony and Panavision in concert with George Lucas. The F-900 was used to shoot the Star Wars movie “Episode II, Attack of the Clones”.  Formerly shot on 35mm film, many feature films joined the HD revolution along with over half of prime time broadcast television. After years of the high cost of film, HD allowed crews to shoot an equally impressive image at a fraction of the cost. In December of 2008.

Live Multi Camera

Corporate Events

If your company or organization is planing an event, please give us a call for your video needs. We can supply all of the people and support required for your presentation. We can bring our production crew in to shoot the event and display the camera images and your Power Point for the audience to see. We can also record the event and produce program DVDs for later distribution. If you would also require that some or all of the presentation is available on the web, we can do that too. Our packages range from 1 camera to 4 cameras with the ability to include your PPT either on the screen or to DVD. The photo to our left was taken in Addison, Texas at a 3 day seminar for an automotive service marketing group. In the photo to our right, we are shooting the 4 day Health and Wealth Super Conference for Piranha Marketing. We started producing the Piranha events in 1995 when they had 125 attendees and they have now grown to over 700 attendees.  For Piranha, we use three cameras and take a feed from a laptop to produce a finished product that is composed of a poly case which holds 12 DVDs. The package label lists which programs are on the discs and each disc holds over two hours of material.

Infomercials

We have worked on TV spots for The City of Tempe’s TIM Program” (see the bus shot), The Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Coyotes, Bell Lexus, Midway Chevrolet, Big Two Toyota, Cruise America, Texaco, PetSmart, Center for Cancer Research, Bell Pest, Festival of the West, and SONY’s HDNA campaign. One project was for First Magnus, the financial magnate who handled the financing for the $13m renovation of Tucson’s Fox Theater.
One of our infomercials can be seen on the Golf Channel. The product is known as The Swing Jacket. The Swing Jacket trains the golfer’s muscles to swing the club properly through muscle memory. During production, we traveled from Phoenix to Westchester, NY to visit PGA Pro, Tom Pernice at the Barclay’s Open. Tom claims that he owes his swing to the Swing Jacket. We then traveled to Boston to visit with the legendary Arnold Palmer. Prior infomercials have included clients like “Amazing Discoveries”, “Let’s Ask Mike”, “Turbo Wash”, “Wealth in the New Millenium” and “Real Estate Millions”.
