Naked Crusaders Productions

Naked Crusaders is not just a web site home to the not so famous Swing Gang podcast. Naked Crusaders is actually the name of the amateur production company started by my best friend and hetero-lifemate Sean, my brother Logan, and myself Brandon. With an intense passion for film, and the notion that there are still good ideas to found, we set out to write, produce, direct and distribute our own ideas. Since September of 2010 we have been producing an original web series that will be called Omniscient Being, with rough cuts of chapter 2 and chapter 3 already available. We also plan to begin principal photography on our first feature tentatively called Robert Trebor.

Naked Crusaders took on a junior partner this year, Christian, who has been out technical advisor. He has been responsible for much of the software and is currently producing the Swing Gang podcast. Thanks to him we have the resources to make our own visual effects with the powerful Adobe After Effects. Test one is an attempt to control energy across an action shot as well as track light, test two is 100% CGI and has a planet eclipsing a sun, and test three is an experimental opening theme for a future project.

So along with regular essays on film, film news, and the podcast with the fewest listeners Naked Crusaders will also have regular production updates and links to new material. Check us out regularly and comment often. All constructive criticism is helpful.
