The "Wave It Is" Film

The "Wave it Is" will be put off for a bit while I try to drum up more money in order to finance this mission for North Padre Island , Texas. The money is just not there, and promotion is not started as of today. Please stay tuned to this blog for further updates. The intial plan was to use an Epic Red Camera to shoot this surfing video, this camera was used for the "Hobbit" it runs around 30 thousand dolars and rentla is about 675 per day. So I wil have to scrap this idea of 3 D production, and possibly go 2D with HD 1080 ip , and that would still be fine. I want to have the best camera to do the job with, so the project is still to happen, just not with the expected equipment.

God willing the money from people that are interested in this idea will start to plow in and I will be able to finance this film. Right now 5k is all I have so , this is not enough. I am expecting this film to cost about 30k to do it just right. That is very low budget. To get this amount I need more interest from companies or sponsors. Email me with your donation and maybe I can get this film underway. chyer47@gmail.com ...Thank You 06/21/2013

Surfing Music For Upcoming Film, Padrenorth2013

christopherhyer2008
Well, I have been working on cutting tracks in my home studio for the upcoming film to be shot in North Padre Island, and I believe I will do all tracks on the film. It has come to my attention that a donation of 5k for this project will be coming in from an unknown source. That will make this possible for partial production and equipment. I have not had time to figure out the initial cost of everything as of today. I will be working on this soon. I am predicting a 20k budget , yet have not discussed this with the production facility in Dallas I am to use. Low production , but for a film about the North Padre Island and Port Aransas, Texas area, is substantial, and I can make it last. Again if your interested in getting involved in my project email me at chyer47@gmail.com residual payments will be made after the film goes to market.

Quite possibly this is going to really happen.I am excited to have the opportunity to do this film and in HD 3D will be a hoot. Featuring interviews from local residents about the surfing and the rival groups from both parts of North Padre Island, Texas. It is like football is out in West Texas. Friday Night Lights was shot about Permian Football in neighboring Odessa, Texas. That was a Hollywood production and believe me if I had the backing I would do the same with this Island. There is a good story to be told, and it will be a family friendly film.

More in the coming days on whats up. The good is I am up 5 grand and that helps, Thank You...Christopher Hyer

Padrenorth2009 AKA Christopher Hyer AKA Hyer Specialties Unlimited

Well the time has come to set some dates to provide value to sponsors for my Padrenorth Sufing video, as yet to be named. I will travel there starting in July and hope we have some good waves while I am on the Island for two days  on a weekend and twice a month. Then in August shoot in 3D with a  Panasonic AG-3DA1 is the world's first professional, fully-integrated Full HD 3D camcorder on the market. This will provide full 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p   HD Video and with no problems anticipated. The 25.5-inch 3D LCD production monitor with full 1920 x 1200 resolution, which provides 3D display with true-to-life color in a durable, production-tough LCD panel package.This will help with the post production of the video and true #d screening .

I will incorporate my own music done with Pro Tools 11 and excellent digital quality for Rocking surf music. I plan to incorporate a local band out of Corpus Christi, Texas and I am taking suggestions. If not I will chose a local Midland, Texas based rock bacnd to get the sounds that will be needed for high quality music to be enjoyed by all.

CPY@Christopherhyer2008
Why am I doing this surfing film? Well I owe it to the guys and girls out there surfing their heads off and needing a bit of attention. I also enjoy the shooting spots and piers I will be shooting from. When I last lived there my project had to be diminished because of poor quality and my drinking and drug use caused for poor judgement. I will be contacting local surfing outlets in the North Padre and Corpus Christi , Texas area for their input, and plan on trying to get film of their competitions if I can make it down there. There is a great story to be told. The many professional surfers who use to live there and now on the circuit have inspired me and others to keep our heads up to the activity that this Island brings to visitors and surfers alike. It is a pleasant atmosphere where serenity is found. The food is good and the accommodations are plentiful.

The surfers range in all ages and the film will be focused on the new surfer to the island and the generations of surfers. The need for good waves is shared by the photographer and the surfer. There are those who can make good on small waves in this area of Texas. I really am looking forward to seeing some old friends out there. I have a few that shoot the finger at me, and I love em. They are the ones that will not be in the video. I tend to do what I please anyway , so who knows w
hat the outcome of this video will bring, except for good natured humans talking and surfing the waves of the coast. Again I could use finacial backing and you can emil me at chyer47@gmail.com..

I went by the name padrenorth2009 and it seems to have stuck with google.com search engines and Hyer Specialties Unlimited. So look these up and keep abreast as I have many blogs about this area and old stuff such as photos, and film coverage from years past. I will also feature some of my music as I record in my home studio with Pro Tools 11 and have cut some awesome music for this upcoming video. It will be a fun feast when it opens and I have the place all ready to be rented out for its pre-release undisclosed in Corpus Christi,. Texas. It will be a event that this city will never have seen. Stay tuned..

Rock Music In the Midland, Texas Area



This is Peter Frampton played at Noel -Wagner Auditorium in Midland, Texas on Saturday night 06/08/2013 and what a night it was. Acoustically challenged, Hell no. Was a great free for all with the best sound in any stadium built in America. Great place where ZZ Top and Australia's Pink Floyd has played recently. Joe Satriani is on his way to this dust bowl as I write to play his 2 hr. vibe. The tickets range from 50.00 to 300.00. I have to admit sitting in the Gallery (The top section) is the best seats in the house. This video was made from that angle. The Auditorium has a sound system, that is mind altering, and justified. Crisp Bass and high treble make for an outstanding performance by any band. There is no smoking or drinking inside this place. There are the downfall of the seats being to close and not all that comfortable. But in this place where oil flows and the wind blows, we can't beat. Peter put one hell of a show on , and quite one of the best I have seen in any venue. This man who has lost his curly long locks, was into the crowd and into the night.
It's good to have a musician that interacts with the crowd as he did . It makes it more personable.
Next topic Filming on the Island Surfing for Corpus Christi, Texas in 3d. Stay tuned for further announcements. This project is going into effect this summer. Email me is you want to donate to this film. The equipment needed for a good production is expensive and I will need funding. chyer47@gmail.com , I will let you in on the plan. Residual income is possible as this will be sold to major markets world wide....Christopher Hyer06/09/2013       http://www.johnjorgenson.com/biography.html This man jammed with Peter Frampton in Midland , Texas on the same night. He is one hell of a great musician. He thrills the crowd and jams simultaneously with Peter in his "Circus" Tour.

Peter Frampton and Robert Cray In Town

Peter Frampton and Robert Cray are coming to the Midland, Odessa area on Saturday night June 8th and I am looking forward to my son and I going to see this.I think everyone in the area should see this fabulous duo.

Rock from the 80s or was it the 70s, ? It will be worth the price tag. Peter has lost his locks of hair but he still rocks like he used to, and RObert Cray has gotten better with age. Check out you tube.com and see these fellows. Make a great break for the summer heat we have in Midland, Texas.

Hyer SPecialties and North Padre Island Film


hyerspecialties@copy2008

Hyer Specialties Unlimited was founded by Christopher Hyer while working in North Padre Island as a photographer. He photographed tropical nature at its best, and during the many seasons that the coastal cities of Corpus Christi  had to offer. Many trips to Rockwall and to Port Aransas, Texas to the harbors and inland parks providing him with spectacular photos of wild life. He especially loved the Brown Pelicans and how orderly their flight patterns were. These gracious birds would fly endlessly down the coast in pairs or in groups of eight or more. Their beauty was captured on film and pictures. Christopher photographed the surfing activities on this Island. He was amazed at what these surfers could do with the little and sometimes not so little waves that are found at Bob Hall Pier and at the pier in Port Aransas, Texas. Google padrenorth on You Tube and you will see some of Chris’s work. These videos were scratch videos and not that high of quality, but Chris wanted the surfer’s to be recognized for what they do. 

Padrenorth was Christopher’s nickname for the Island of North Padre Island. He was popular with the surfing crowd up until the year 2009 when Christopher suffered a breakdown and had to go into a Hospital for treatment of sleep disorders and Alcoholism. He has been sober and sleeping since this period of his life. He moved back to his home town of Midland while in recovery for the last 4 years, and recently has shown up at AA meetings to make sure he completes his sobriety until his dying day.
Christopher is a man whom people like to know. He is personable and quite analytical about what he does now. He has a desire to finish his project in Corpus Christi, Texas of a film about the surfer and the Island of North Padre.

“To be at peace on the island to me is to get in the water and film the surfing and go hang off the piers and get this action in 3D full motion film”. Of course,  he will need the proper equipment and has already investigated his particular needs for the Island Surfing Film. He exclaims,” I tried to make a film from all the footage I took for the five years I live I was not of sane mind and state to make such a move”. The shots are fuzzy and not strong enough for a major project, and would not influence the masses that he wanted to impress.” The footage you see under his name in google images is not of the quality he desired after sobering up.
d on the island,
“After I moved back to Midland and took to being clean and sober and reviewing the films and disc, I tried to tie a terrific film to it all, and even laid down the sound track and post production seemed impossible. I took a few trips back and decided the new medium would be a 3 D Surf film that could be released and professionally done right. It might take a couple of years, yet expect it in stores in summer of 2014”
“I feel I owe it to the Island to shoot a high quality film that will blow every one’s mind. I will do the music and in my studio at home. Post production and final output will be done by a professional. I will package this to sell in key markets around the globe” Christopher has many blogs on surfing on the Island, and many photos and films he made while living in North Padre Island. He misses the surfing and the wild life there. However, God wants him to stay put in Midland, Texas for a while. Home is where my spirit is, and home right now is where the work is. 06/02/2013

Christopher Hyer

I have been asked who I am. I am a man from Midland, Texas that is 50 years old and living in the Oil and Gas industry for most of my life. I am a artist, photographer, videographer, writer, IT Technician, musician, recording artist, and a proud Dad of one son. 

I find that "Idle Hands " is not one of my attributes to society. I love to stay busy, whether at my home writing articles for fortune 500 companies, or painting a wild looking montage of a picture. I have no idle hands. I do have time to talk and explain what I can do for you and your business, if interested. So you sould through business consultant in there. 

I love photography , mostly sports and the ocean area of sporting activities. I had shot surfing in Corpus Christi, Texas for many years and around the globe. I was a ghost writer and photographer for many years. However , I do not do weddings or portraits of people. I love animals and human beings. I live a goos life, and live in a modest house with toys that keep me occupied and employed. 

My recent love for writing has come to a slow halt, though I do enjoy a piece of creative work every now and then. I expect decent wages and I get them for my pictures and paintings. I am unlike most men in their 50s , I don't act my age nor do I feel it. I don't drink or smoke, and watch my mouth. I am God fearing and loving to each and every person I come in contact with. 

I have traveled the world and enjoyed it. I will keep traveling as long as I can. I love different cultures and people. I take photographs of anything. I , however enjoy the beauty of nature and fine looking women. I like to photograph beautiful girls in nature and have made some very wealthy with my portfolios that have been submitted to agency's in Dallas and New York City.

I have a full time job working as a Break / Fix Technician for a major computer company in the area. I also write and compose music in my spare time. More on what I am up to soon. Enjoy and search me out .
