About

01
What we do

Shield and Sword Productions is a video production team started by Max Ellis, during his university days.
Currently active in Tokyo, he accepts project requests from individuals and businesses alike, in addition to creating original video contents.

Furthermore, he utilizes his knowledge of Japan and Japanese language to assist foreign clients wishing to film in Japan.

02
Objective 

When making a video, each project has its own unique qualities and purposes.

For example, the “Eye of the Rising Sun” series is intended to spread the beauty and intrigue of Japanese culture to the world.

With every video, the most important mindset is “how can we entertain people with this video?”

03
 Strength

With a mixture of English heritage and love of Japan, we bring the best of both worlds into every video project.

In addition, we always consider the best ways to improve a project to make it as entertaining as possible.

But above all, we bring our best efforts and passion into every project, to complete it to the highest quality possible.
