Chamber of Coerced Confessions
“Yes it is true that Secret Headquarters is the best. I literally could not do my job without them. They downconvert my shoot tapes, and then they cut great pieces from my footage that make me look good. What more can I say? This. They have all the answers to the techie-stuff that can trip up your project when you get stuck in digital encoding / audio-sync / format hell. And the people are actually nice. Take them for a spin – you won’t be disappointed.”
- Alan Rast, VP – FOX Creative Services
“I lean on SHQ primarily for creative work, and Dave and Greg have delivered for me time and time again. The passion they have for their work shines through in the material. I am constantly asked for recommendations, and happily refer people to SHQ. These guys get it, and do it right.”
- Andrew Boyd, VP, Marketing & Publicity – OddLot Entertainment
I’d definitely do a shout-out for the incessant barking and the impressive assortment of foul language
that continuously gleams the halls..absolutely free! (Who else could offer such services? Seriously!)
Ok, here’s my “really for reals” quote:“Secret HQ is a one-stop shop for editorial. All my offline, online, and graphics needs are managed
by an amazing staff of assistant editors and editors who go above and beyond to ensure my projects
are technically perfect and delivered on time. “- Julie Meisner-Eagle, Producer – Playhouse Disney
“SHQ was the answer to all of our post-production needs. Dave understood the financial challenges an independent filmmaker is faced with after wrapping on a production. He found a way to get us to the finish line without compromising on quality [meeting every] deadline he was faced with. Greg added a touch that only a seasoned pro could, taking our film to another level [and] showed that not only is he a master editor but also [is] capable of explaining complex technical techniques to a person with little technical background. I have grown as a filmmaker through my experience with SHQ and would recommend their services to any independent filmmaker.”
Allen Cognata, Writer/Director/Producer, The Putt Putt Syndrome
“I’d rather take a project to Secret HQ than anywhere else. The atmosphere, creative team, and attention to technical detail
makes it the perfect place to work.”- Dawn Ford, Producer – Hot Sprocket Films
“Secret HQ is like working at home if my home was filled with video editing equipment, edit bays, and a highly experienced and courteous group of creative professionals. There’s nothing Greg and his staff can’t or won’t do, within the constraints of polite society of course, to help make a project better. Since many projects that I have worked on at Secret HQ have also required a high level of confidentiality, the security of a professionally-trained guard dog on the premises during the working hours has also proven to be an added benefit.
Oh yeah, the cookies are good too.”- Greg McIver, Owner/Creative Director – McIver Entertainment and Producer – Disney
“Our documentary film, Rescue Men – The Story of the Pea Island Life-Savers, has gone on to win 11 industry awards and I know that this would not have happened, except for the excellence we received at Secret Headquarters.”
- Allan R. Smith, Producer – DreamQuest Productions
“ Love working with everyone at Secret Headquarters! Offline editing is awesome. They always add creative spark to projects. Their editors go the extra mile to make the project better than imagined. Online is top notch and they respond quickly to those emergencies that always seem to pop up. I recall once we had a spot that had to be in NY to air that night. We HAD to make a fiber feed (in Hollywood) withing a few hours. We made it with time to spare! Clients loved me for getting it done. Ya, Secret HQ made me look good. You guys ROCK!”
- Jennifer Uteda, Owner/Creative Director – Reel Pictures
“Secret Headquarters is my secret weapon!”
- Linda Garcia, Pantelion Films
Here’ a little something for you to put on your website and smoke it:“After years of working with Secret Headquarters, I’ve come to rely on them as creative partners. They’re quick to get the tone of each project we work on, and they love the challenge. Each member of their team has a technical expertise that I lack and an artistic attitude (God help me) that constantly results in a finished product greater than what I could have achieved on my own. Their range of clients gives them a perspective and knowledge base that I’ve drawn on many times when I’ve come to them with a new client of mine (usually they’ve worked with them before). And they’re always ready to help me out with my stupid questions or when I need a sounding board for creative or strategic thinking. They’re my favorite team in Hollywood.”
That’ll be $15.- Kenny Rhodes, Propagandist – Polaris Productions
“My professional experience with Secret Headquarters is always first class. They demonstrate a great service attitude and technical know-how. I can always come to them with opportunities large or small and be met with outstanding work.”
- Rob Kositchek, Director of Photography
