First approved release of the methodology and its bilingual axiom set.

Applying SHPS to a project

Break the film into scenes and define what each needs. Identify where a real person or location is required, where product geometry must be exact and where a generated visual is suitable. Test a difficult scene, then agree on the production plan.

A hybrid scene needs compatible source material. Scale, perspective, lighting and movement must allow its elements to be combined. The method depends on the required result, rights and the ability to reproduce the approved design.

Review criteria to agree before production

Record required product and character features, text requirements, lighting and colour constraints, release format and acceptance criteria. In motion, check that shapes and details hold across frames. In compositing, check perspective, scale and transitions between filmed and digital elements.

Review the test and final version against the agreed requirements. A condition checked in a still frame does not yet establish the quality of a moving scene. Reviewing the finished film includes editorial, sound and all planned versions.

Comparing methods on the same brief

Compare live action, AI and CGI using the same script, delivery package, rights scope and quality requirements. Establish scene count, product accuracy, design repeatability, movement complexity and manual finishing work.

Cost and schedule depend on those conditions. A published case describes a particular project; it does not establish a universal saving or turnaround for all SHPS work. A new estimate follows source review and a test of the proposed approach.

What the production record retains

Record the approved method, tools and versions, source assets, rights, approval points and final deliverables. This record explains how the material was produced and what would be needed to change or reuse it.

SHPS is SHAR Production's own methodology. Describe its use with the version and project conditions. It carries no claim of independent certification, universal quality scores or a guaranteed commercial result.
