A Great Place for Funny Flash Animations and Films!

Attention Lilredhead Studios Site Visitors

Lilredhead Studios and its sister sites are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment. The issue is sever side and therefore is out of our control. At this time I cannot give an estimated time as to when the sites will be back up and running. I was told that they are working around the clock to restore what appears to be a server crash.

Until then you can check out our full catalog of movies on our YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/lilredheadcomics or browse this lens.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may be bringing to you. I am hoping the server will be restored soon. If there are any updates I will be sure to post them on this Squidoo Lens.

Flash and Live Action Movies of all Genres!

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.

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.

Books on Flash Animation

Lilredhead Studios uses a variety of Adobe software to create our movies. The books below are geared towards Flash animation. If you have an interest in drawing and animating cartoons, these books can help!

I got started in Flash animation with the book "Flash 5 Cartooning". While it is an older book I believe it displays many sound techniques in animation. The book talks about creating backgrounds, characters and animations (like walking) all the while showing you how to use Flash. I know many people probably don't use Flash 5 anymore, but the skills learned in the book can be applied to all versions of the software.
