How a project actually runs.
We ask first
Before cameras, we ask what you're trying to fix and who it's for. Sometimes the answer is a campaign, not one video.
A proposal built for you
Your problem in your own words, a plain sense of what projects like it cost, then one fixed price. We walk you through it live.
One link for the crew
Call sheet, map, schedule, releases and permits on a single page. When something changes, everyone sees it.
Notes, then the final cut
Edit, color and sound in-house. When a late note comes in, we look at a recut before anyone talks about a reshoot.
The founder
Meet Shadai Perez.
Shadai started SP7 Studios in 2014 while he was still managing a hotel. He taught himself photography before he owned a camera, and shot after work, on weekends and at night. In 2015 he left the hotel to make films full time.
He has directed, produced and shot work for GYC, Guinness World Records, Microsoft and Disney. Alongside SP7 he co-owns Lightbox Collective, wrote a book about running a business, and builds software for filmmakers.
