Red Raptor Productions is going extreme!
Extreme is such a lame term. Anything that has extreme in front of it is usually crap. But I can't say we're going awesome! Or can I...?
Red Raptor Productions is going awesome!
I can deal with that.
What do we do at Red Raptor? We make videos! Comedy! Dance! We do other things that don't get a lot of views! We also put up music videos of our favorite films and we love fake trailers!
Let me tell you about the crew.
Eric Mikols (duskvstweak)- This is the guy writing the blog. I started making music video's with Windows Movie Maker and got into filming when I "borrowed" my Uncle's video camera. I'm the guy in charge of the Youtube site and now the keeper of the blog. I'm also the one with the twitter. I direct most, if not all, the videos and I'm the editor as well. I'm still trying to refine my style; slowing down the filming process, taking more footage, trying to script more. Right now, I'm at Houghton College majoring in communications, so I hope to someday turn this hobby into a profession!
But I'm not doing this alone!
Glenn Benitez- Glenn was there almost at beginning. He's been the star of many videos, holding his own to Dog in "Monkey Business" and surviving against the devil's vacuum in "Hoover Damned". Though he is often away these days, Glenn is still a constant presence in the videos of Red Raptor. I have often described Glenn as my muse and I find some of my funniest videos to have him in them. He is also the only person besides myself to have puppeteer Monkey.
Jordan Cusenza- My brother, who everyday becomes cooler than I am. We often put Jordan in dancing roles because he can out-dance the lot of us. The first time he ever busted-a-move was in "Dancing in the Apartment" and we don't want him to stop! But he's not just a silent lady killer. Jordan also acts! He stole the show in "The Nature of Madness"! The reason you don't see him so much on Youtube is because is video's tend to have copyrighted music in them, leaving him on my PC. But not to fear! Red Raptor's new policy is to use little to no copyrighted music in our original films (while hoping no one notices the music videos), so Jordan will be a present force!
Brendan Bates-Brendan came into the game late, and I'm not sure he knows he's even in yet. But, co-staring in 28 zombie blogs makes him one of the most present faces of Red Raptor Productions. Don't forget his roles in "Party Like a Rockstar" and "The Ghosts of Christmas". Brendan enjoys the Red Hot Chili Peppers and can often be found on a set of skis.
That's us! Many others have been part of the group for periods of time; Travis Philips, Luke Peters, Sam Cobb and Julia Cusenza have played big parts in our work. Not to mention the number of stuffed animals and action figures. We'll be adding more to the fold soon and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I'm in the process of writing a script for a new web series and you can never say "no" to a fun dance video.
We're doing more now as well! This blog will soon be filled with commentaries for all the videos we have and will put up, I just got a Twitter account, and we hope to be a force of networking power. We won't just be putting up blogs of the videos, but other things as well. It will almost be a text-based version of our Youtube.
So stay around and invite you're friends, it's gonna be fun!
