Schnepp, Patsy Desmond, Danielle Beverly, Ty Bardi, Sheleigh Highsmith (now a psychiatric nurse practitioner), and scores of interns, freelancers, friends and collaborators. The artists at H-Gun approached filmmaking in a renegade style and in some cases defining "run and gun" style of filmmaking. The work was purely experimental and raw. In some cases footage that would normally be considered "outtakes" was included into the edits. H-Gun were early adopters in the use of Apple Macintosh computers and the earliest versions of animation software. As the company evolved, so did the visual styles that the collective pursued. H-Gun became one of the few (at the time) companies in the world that would shoot its own live action film, design its own motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, and integrate the work into its own finished pieces. The progression of the work created by H-Gun garnered worldwide attention. The work has been curated by museums, chronicled by newspapers, and TV shows. Recently Soundgarden re-released the videos H-Gun produced and directed on its CD/DVD release "Telephantasm". H-Gun's work often won international awards with Promax / BDA, International Monitor Awards, Billboard Music Video Awards and the like. As H-Gun evolved the company worked with directors Frank Kozik, David Yow, Paul Andresen, Nancy Bardowil and Spike Jonze on various videos either as director or co-directors. H-Gun videos were often featured on marquee MTV shows such as 120 Minutes, Headbangers Ball and Beavis and Butt-Head. H-Gun evolved from music videos into doing major content like network ID's, commercials, and show opens. In summer of 2000, the company decided that it would close its doors and that the owners would remain friends and explore other creative endeavors. The official closing date for the last delivery of commissioned work was January 2001.
