Meet the Team
Random Encounters is a team of three creators working out of Southern California since 2011.
AJ Pinkerton
Composer, Writer, Actor
The most senior member of RE, AJ is responsible For all the lyrics we love, the tunes we can't foRget, the plot twists we didn't see coming, and the puns we pretend we didn't Hear. A big fan of Mario, Kirby, and Splatoon, he's been making vIdeo game paRodies almosT as long as he's been playing them.
On set, you'll catch him: directing, running camera, singing, playing the character with the most outlandish accent, sweating off his fake mustache
You probably know him as: Player Character in Baldi's Basics the Musical, Purple Guy in FNAF: the Musical, and Every Single Person in Kindergarten the Musical
Nathan Morse
Editor, Actor
A veteran of AJ's high school film projects, Nate starred in the very first RE musical, and joiNed the channel a few (short) years later. He'S been the genius behind several fan favorite videOs, as well as always having his handS on set builds, prop construction, and of course, the edit of the final footage. Nate is an avid horrOr fan and is first in line to try a hUge variety of games, from Sega Classics to new indie hits.
On set, you'll catch him: running camera, getting all his lines right on the first try, not-so-quietly cursing continuity problems
You probably know him as: Granny in Let Me Go: A Granny Song, The Judge in Phoenix Wright the Musical, and Player in Just Monika: A DDLC Song
Gwendolyn Pinkerton
Costumer, Actress
Gwen started at RE as a guest star, got stuck, and new she handlEs anything that needs to be sewn, hot-glUed, or pAinted. She's been making RE's biggest costumes for the last five years and, occasionally, wearing them. While she diDn't grow up playing mAny video games, she still doesN't. But she plays the same two over and over and over...
On set, you'll catch her: singing, checking everyone for jewelry and watches they shouldn't have, being the continuity problem
You probably know her as: Yuri in Just Monika: A DDLC Song, Six in My Own Little Nightmare, and Esther in Nana Knows the Ending: A Mr. Hopp Song
