A collection of live action, Flash animation and 3DMM movies from Lilredhead Studios. Founded in 1997, Lilredhead Studios is committed to providing quality (or lack thereof) entertainment to everyone! In this collection you'll find our most recent works and stuff dating back to 2001 when we were just kids.
Name: Chad
Age: 22
Lilredhead Productions (previously known as Lilredhead Comics) was founded in the summer of 2002. Starting off by doing simple (and poorly done) animated cartoons, the production company slowly but steadily grew. In its early years, Lilredhead Productions was best known for such series as: Mr. Binkee's Class, Bubba Has a Gun, and Ahoyager: The Journey Home.

It wasn't until early 2005 when Lilredhead Productions really hit it's stride. With the release of the Star Trek parody Enterprise: Flashed, the Lilredhead Productions name spread like wild fire throughout Star Trek Fandom. Enterprise: Flashed was launched with the Trek United campaign to help save Star Trek: Enterprise from being canceled. Even though Trek United failed in its mission, Lilredhead Productions' series continued to entertain avid Star Trek and cartoon fans.

Presently the animation team at Lilredhead Studios continues to push the boundires in animated entertainment. With such hit series as Walk'n With Walken and I Am Ahoyager and more on the way, there is something for everyone here at Lilredhead Animation Studios.

As for the live action side of things, that dates all the way back to 1997 when Chad Troftgruben and his friends started to make simple and cheesy home movies. The gang continued in their usual trend until 2001 when Chad Troftgruben and Zach Tibor formed Master Mind Productions. During this time the quality of the movies improved slightly, with more focus on special effects than anything. In 2004 the production company's name was changed to I.M. Independent Productions.

During the fall of 2004, Chad Troftgruben and Josh Nichols joined forces and formed The DSU Filmmakers Club. This university organization grew upon the foundation Chad and his friends started so many years ago. The quality of the movies got much better, member activity increased, and so did public awareness. Most notably during this time, Lilredhead Studios' first live action sitcom entered production. Entitled Roomies, the series followed the antics of six college students. The series was seven episodes long and gained a small fan base.

In the spring of 2007, Josh graduated from Dickinson State University and consequently stepped down as President of the DSU Filmmakers. In the fall of 2007 Chad gave up his position as President to pursue a brighter future for Lilredhead Studios.

Our Friend Puberty (3 days ago)
SEQUEL ONLINE NOW!!!! Our Pal Dating is the anticipated sequel to Our Friend Puberty. With the guidance of Coach Johnson, Johnny takes on the dangerous and mysterious world of dating. Just click my profile to get to it!
Oh, I know, but I appreciate the feedback and advice, that's what helps us get better. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go make some more funny (loud noises scare me.)
Thanks! We actually did use a lapel mic. However, we must've not tweaked the sensitivity right because the ventilation system (I assume that's what it was) did pick up. It still sounds better than a camera mic (ah, the good old days). We'll get it next time!
I'm curious, how did your old account get hacked? Did you give your password out or was it something else? Either way I'm sorry it happened to you.
Cool! It's been years since I've used 3dmm (last time I was really using it a lot was 2002). Anyway I'll have to check out your stuff some time!

I Am Ahoyager 3 Videos
I Am Ahoyager, being developed by Chad Troftgruben and Pete Thomas, is a new take on the Ahoyager formula. Launched in August 2006, the series follows the galactic adventures of Captain Pakaday and the struggles she faces. Not to be confused with Ahoyager: The Journey Home, I Am Ahoyager is a completely new series. Think of it as a reboot of sorts.
Enterprise: Flashed is a fan made Star Trek Flash parody. The series was created to help in the effort to keep Star Trek: Enterprise from getting cancelled. Starting with the Cancelled trilogy, the series addressed issues based on Enterprise's cancellation. However, after it was clear the TV show would not make a return for a 5th season, Enterprise: Flashed evolved into its own entity. From parodying the series finale to touching on political events with the powers that be , Enterprise: Flashed has had a pretty interesting run. This series is no longer about saving Enterprise, but to entertain all those Star Trek fans out there.

Enterprise: Flashed isn't just confined to the Star Trek universe. Two special episodes were created that exist outside the normal story arc. Entitled "The Moonves Chronicles" by some, these movies featured Leslie Moonves (CEO of CBS) and his conquest to destroy Star Trek: Enterprise and quality entertainment. Moonves Versus Brazeal, released in the summer of 2005 showcased Tim Brazeal (founder of http://www.trekunited.com) and Leslie Moonves fight for the future of entertainment. This episode is claimed by many to be the best cartoon to be produced by Lilredhead Productions.

It was all in the timing for Enterprise: Flashed. Being released at such a critical time for Star Trek fans, the series gained viewers very quickly. If the series were released a year before or even a year later, it wouldn't have seen the popularity it did. As we move into an uncertain future for Star Trek, the episodes of Enterprise: Flashed will always be here to entertain all the fans.

Actually, your request isn't strange at all. A couple months ago someone else asked me about getting in contact with another Roomies cast member.

Anyway, I went ahead and private messaged you his details.

Good luck!

Hi. This is going to sound super strange, but that guy in your "Roomies" films.....Bennett Gackle? He plays Steven? Well, I went to elementary school with a Bennett Gackle but he moved away and I never got to tell him a certain something.....I want to know if it's the same Bennett Gackle. Are you still in contact with him?

Like I said, I know this is weird but past searches have failed
