What is iPen Productions?
iPen Productions is the small production company started by myself, Braeden Orr. We have no deals, no monetary partnerships, or anything. While we would like some type of partnership in the future, right now, we are completely independent, and happy making films all the same. iPen Productions is all about independent films, independent ideas, and independent fun!
How did iPen get its name?
Once upon a time, when all I used YouTube for was watching video clips, I decided to start posting my own stuff. What did this stuff contain? Some wrestling gifs strewn together in Windows Movie Maker set to music. I also posted some videos that were just a picture of a wrestler with that theme. WWE came knocking at my door and got my account suspended for copyright issues. When trying to come up with a new name, I decided to start making my own real videos. My favorite animal is the penguin, and I decided "why not use the classic i- thing that Apple uses? No one elses uses that!" Of course, everyone else uses it, but it felt original to me at the time. Oh well, that's the name, and this is how I got it.
Who is part of iPen Productions?
Well... for about two years, just myself. I do get people to help occasionally, but for the time being, it is a one man production in filming, writing, directing, and editing.
What types of videos does iPen make?
A little bit of everything actually. We have game reviews, video logs, short comedy sketches, a comedy series, class projects, music videos, etc. iPen Productions may not make some of these anymore, but they have all been made by us at some point or another.
What are iPen's official shows?
Right now, we only have one on going official show, Review: Impossible. The Top Five is technically still around, though its only when I feel like making one. Former shows we have produced includes Arcade Spotlight, Buddy Jo 'Splains it All, and Off the Ropes. Off the Ropes could make a possible return soon, as could Literal 5 Second Movies, inspired by the 5 Second Movies of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com (where R:I and The Top Five have been featured a total of 7 times). There are always new skits and show ideas swimming in my head, so you never really know what's next.
How can I obtain iPen Productions' services?
All you have to do is send an email to ipenproductions@gmail.com with your contact information, and what type of work you need. I can't give prices, as it would vary by scenario, though usually a strict editing job would cost less than one where I would have to go and film first, then edit. We are willing to negotiate our prices to some extent.
What type of equipment does iPen Productions use?
Currently our camera equpiment includes one JVC camera with a built-in microphone, a professional grade green screen, and Sony Vegas Pro 8 (top of the line editing software). As time goes on, we are going to invest in a new camera, microphones, lights, and a separate special effects program.
