Rock The Desert Satge Christopherhyer2013

I have broken out the camera lately to take photos to make some cash, as I wait for a new job to take place. I will be posting some of my new work soon. I am taking pictures of Rock Bands in the area of West Texas when I can get in to the events. I have had some luck with getting some quality shots recently and have sold a few. Therefor my income level is going up , the project in Corpus Christi, Texas is looking bleak right now.

With the high cost of travel and expense this Surfing Video I seek to produce does not look possible this year. I will keep you up to date on this. Take Care. Christopher

Music is My Life

In the Permain Basin, we have had a few good performers come through Wagner Noel Auditorium. I thought I would post a video from Australias, Pink Floyd group that was here earlier this year. I got a real kick of how professional that they presented their work . Very close to the real Pink Floyd. The group has played for over 30 years night after night playing the same songs. I would find this difficult to do in the long term, yet this shows persistance on a few musicians that love what they do . What they accomplish is a fine show that entertains millions of people a year. I hope you enjoy this clip I filmed during this show.

I am working constantly and trying to get the surf film assets up and going , so be aware of this North Padre Island, and Port Aransas,Texas as I have had a few comments from surf shops in the area and at this time, the only way to reach me is by email. I do not want a bunch of crap hitting my cell phone yet.Sponsors will come and when they do they will be presented with a package of what I plan to do with this film. Possibly this is just a local interest , yet the film, will be devoted to include surfing from Laguna Beach in California as well. Comparison surfing and competition from the West coast to the small Islands of the South Texas coast. What a story to be told. It will interest most who are involved in surfing and places to go. I have not decided if I am to include the North Shore of Hawaii, as of yet, the expense would be astronomical, but worth it.

Stay tuned for more on the surfing film and get your hopes up, I think and have proceeded to arrange this event to happen. Christopher Hyer 07/16/2013  

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

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.

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..
