''Shea Scientific Films'' is an ongoing mystery/AnalogHorror multimedia series, consisting of a [[https://www.youtube.com/@AJBurwell YouTube channel]] and a [[https://twitter.com/SheaScientific Twitter page]].
In May of 2023, a pair of Michiganders, Andy and Chris, discover a box of VHS tapes in a recently-abandoned, unusually sparse apartment. Andy begins digitizing the tapes, and the pair soon discover that they are copies of vintage science education films from a studio that has no apparent record of its existence.
Now tasked with a mystery and a potential lost media recovery operation, Andy runs the [=YouTube=] channel and handles conversions while Chris posts findings and other information on Twitter, in the goal of uncovering the history of the studio and what became of it.
----
!! This series contains examples of:
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: The Shea films are color-coded by topic:
** Cyan is biology and earth science.
** Magenta is physics.
** Yellow is chemistry.
** Black is space.
* DeliberateVHSQuality: The films themselves are meant to look like digitized VHS film transfers.
* TheSeventies: The titular studio was active at the very least in 1972, based on copyright info seen in one of the films.
* VanityPlate: The channel's first upload is the studio's vanity plate, and it seemingly occurs after the end credits of each film.
