Behind The Scenes Kitchen Studio And (RED) Film Equipment Tour 2019

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Thanks for watching and commenting Everyone! It was fun to have the live chat during the 'Premier', maybe we should do it again sometime? Do you all like the premier idea? - Also check out those Bagged Milk T-Shirts: teespring.com/stores/glen-friends-cooking

[@Young.money.university]

Thanks for the video, it was really interesting to see what goes into everything. Wish I had your production budget, I think I could fan boy that gear all day. Keep up the great work and thanks for another great vid that help us to get to know more. Take care and I wish you all the best friend

[@StephenHassard]

Love the idea of the premier. I'm just sorry I missed it! Once my bagged milk shirt arrives I'll be wearing it around the KZbin office :)

[@evanbrorby]

OMG!!!!!! I died when I saw you were shooting on RED! Then I was resurrected when I saw you had two REDs! Then I died again when I saw your lens collection!!!! No wonder the quality is so high!!!

[@peterpawinski4914]

Heh... that's what I thought. I was like, okay, I knew the kitchen was a studio, but let's see what's up (somehow, I didn't see this video show up until today on my feed.) Then I saw ... WTF? A RED? That's kind of overkill for this kind of thing. Then, WTF? Two REDs? How much does this KZbin pay? And then the lenses.... ? Holy shit. And then the explanation at 1:38. Okay. That makes sense now.

[@seigeengine]

@@peterpawinski4914 KZbin can pay reasonably well if you can consistently compel a meaningful size audience and have content you can get ads on. One of the factors here seems to be encapsulated in a line from his website where he says he only has preroll ads. I don't know if that's true, but that's definitely going to impact earnings. But obviously that setup is out of reach for any likely income from this channel regardless.

So cool!! I legit thought your kitchen studio was your home kitchen....it's very nice!

A frigging Red Camera holy crap :D What a set up.

[@XSISunSearcher]

Im working with a Panasonic G7 for Music Event Videography, so seeing that RED makes me the tiniest bit jealous. But then i think about how heavy the setup might be, and im happy with the G7 again :D

I really thought its a real kitchen but no. Its a really impressive studio you have! Nice setup! ✨👌

[@spencers4121]

He mentioned in a video just a week or so ago, about how "hot it was in the studio". It ruined the magic for me.

[@ClellBiggs]

I knew it was a studio but I'm still kinda sad to see the illusion broken. Fortunately the cool stuff he showed makes up for it. =)

[@Kinkajou1015]

I mean, just because it's not the kitchen in the house doesn't mean it's not a real kitchen. It's just a second kitchen with space for all the filming.

[@jbrw2480]

Ha! This is brilliant. I’ve only been watching their videos over the past few months, but never had any inkling it wasn’t it their actual kitchen. It’s a nice feeling to be thoroughly fooled and bamboozled.

[@AltimaNEO]

I was so confused why he kept calling his kitchen a studio. I thought he was being pretentious. Nope, it's an actual studio.

[@JPAnor]

he just roasted linus, damn

[@GuardedDragon]

JPAnor we should have it added to the roast video. This is up there with the other jokes :D

[@realFl1ck]

Waiting for that Linus and Glen collab

[@Kinkajou1015]

Glen and Linus collab and Glen and Townsends collabs would be amazing. The collab with Linus could be more focused on behind the scenes stuff like this (maybe upgrades to the video editing or video archival process). The collab with Townsends could be comparing an extremely old recipe cooked traditionally and redoing it modernly (or at least redoing it for depression era).

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Love to do something with L

[@lulluedge9457]

Hell yes

[@mfardin75]

Linus is in Vancouver though (the opposite coast). would be a very cool collab though.

[@jamesmilos9909]

You might “just do this for fun” but your channel is incredible! Thanks for all the effort and expense you put into this, as well as our peek behind the scenes. Fantastic! Please keep up the stellar content, so much better than any cooking channel on the networks.

[@Thefarunlitunknown]

The product shots for the bourbon were so beautifully and elegantly composed and lit that I had to rewind and watch multiple times. Absolutely mesmerizing.

[@5T3F4N_I]

I have no idea how, but your channel got recommended to me and I can't stop watching your videos since. Would love to see you try to make some of the Balkan foods, like "sarma" or "pljeskavica". Greetings from Serbia! :)

Yes! I have always wanted to see that magical, mysterious space behind the counter where you just throw stuff. Also, wow. This is amazing. Thank you so much for producing such awesome cooking videos in your spare time, my partner and I really appreciate the quality and often try the recipes ourselves.

[@BenjaminCampos32]

I don’t want to say that this behind the scenes look has ruined the magic for me but it does do a great job of grounding me back to reality. Filmmakers truly are great manipulators; of environments, of vision and stories. They only show you what they want you to see. In Glen’s case, we get to see him having fun in his kitchen. I’m simply gobsmacked and grateful. Thank you for these cooking videos that you do for fun! I hope they keep being fun for you.

[@thischarmingmothman7962]

Given that creating food content is your day job, I'm blown away by the work and effort that goes into your fun side gig of also doing food content. Crazy dedication.

[@AceChinaDragon]

Oh man, I've been doing nightlife event photography for 5 years professionally and am definitely still learning as I branch out to other styles. I love the effort you put in all of your work and can appreciate the difference in quality from other KZbin cooking shows. Plus the humour is always appreciated.

[@lukapavlovic1005]

[@13Dixiefried]

This is cool, an also explains why when you say "it's hot out" because you're pretty much "outside" lol. But I had a feeling that your studio was either in a garage or shed.

[@ygunayer]

Being able to turn your hobby into a job or profession, being actually good at it, having the patience to keep it as a hobby despite all the burnout and accumulating work stress, and having the time and resources to actually turn it into a side hustle that you can keep doing is an amazing feat on its own. It's VERY rare to have them all together, and overall I think this level of love and dedication to what you do is what we should all strive for. I also think it's a surefire way to success in life, not in the business sense, but in being able to feel accomplished. That's why I find you and your videos so inspirational. Keep up the incredible work! And to all those who have fallen out of love with their "dream job" and lost their precious hobbies, may we all se the light in ourselves reignite one day, reunite us with what we used to love.

[@JohnsonMG_]

Excited for the cocktail series! Even if it's not a regular thing a couple cocktail episodes would be great too.

[@MatthewClise]

I'd heard you mention being in the "studio" as opposed to being in the "kitchen", and I seem to remember feeling like the kitchen was set up in a garage, but it really feels bigger in the edited videos than this behind the scenes reveals. Thanks for the peek behind the curtain!

[@oneMoreMiffedBrit]

Thanks Glen! I've been enjoying your youtube channel for a few months now, and its great to see content like this. You also make it really clear where your day job lies, which I didn't know before. I'm glad you make content despite the ad revenue being low - its great to watch a positive and upbeat show like yours - the recipes and facts are always interesting and its great to see you continue to do this for the love of it. Thank you :)

[@minahasa999]

Dear Glen, I'm from Indonesia. Yes I love eating, but I don't know how to cook. Most of the time I'm not even familiar to what you are cooking. I don't usually watch cooking videos, yet this is the only cooking channel that I visit almost on a daily basis. Your videos are just pretty much enjoyable to watch, not too technical or academical or even competitional. From your videos, I see that cooking is a part of daily life, not intimidating whatsoever. Cooking -and eating- is an enjoyable adventure done in the safety of our home. Thanks!

[@melankolikfilms]

I find your channel weirdly addictive; I also make films for a living so love seeing all the filming gear. I don't know why but I always love Julie popping up at the end for the taste test. And bagged milk, obviously.

[@hexistenz]

I’ve been following you for about a year now. This video only came up on the KZbin suggestions yesterday though. Up till now, it never occurred to me, not for one second, that you were shooting in a studio. What an amazing setup! It looks and feels so homey and cozy, with Jules coming in at the end, so naturally, stepping in from the living room. And the fact that you do this for fun really shows, that’s what makes it so natural and real, because it is real! Love your videos, your curiosity, the way you seem to like precision AND subtlety.

[@o0Avalon0o]

Thank you, I'm so grateful to you and your channel. Medical bills destroyed my budget, so I don't have the ability to experiment with food anymore, but you bring that joy back to my life.

[@ToveriJuri]

Man while I like America, this is one thing about the country that truly sucks. Hope you are doing better.

[@Preston241]

Howdy from Alberta! I just wanted to tell ya how much I appreciate your videos. Your channel popped up in my feed with the Coke video that seems to be how a lot of folks found your channel. Watching your channel reminds me of watching my dad cook when I was a kid. I binge your videos after a hard day, and it always helps me to feel better. I'm unlikely ever to try out the recipes but what I come to your channel for is a calm, friendly presence that reminds me of home. You do a good blend of cooking and personal chit chat that makes your videos appealing to a broad audience. I've enjoyed watching your subscribers keep growing over the last several months. I'm sure it won't be long until your the top cooking channel on KZbin. Keep up the excellent work, Glen!

[@paulgoodchild3482]

Wow. I wasn't expecting that. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed it.

[@crosenblum]

It is beyond clear how knowledgeable you are about camera's, lighting and gear, and you just wanted to have a youtube channel to have fun with, to try and do things and fail, do that please. Keep doing that, it is such a simple and divine joy to see someone using their knowledge and experience and giving us a taste of that, in a fun motif. Thank you kindly.

OMG - That is a properly kitted our studio. All of that camera gear would make Marques Brownlee jealous! Two REDS! I love how you’re crushing out coke recipes and pizza videos in 8K. Wow.

[@RoseAlchemist22]

I love that the studio is a shed out in your backyard. It's an awesome solution to not having to film in your house's actual kitchen or rent a full studio. Now the camera nerd in me ached the moment you mentioned what your day job is because I love cameras. I love shooting videos, photos, editing footage, the works. It's why I started making my own cooking videos. Problem is, as much as I would kill to have a job like yours, I haven't even the faintest clue how to get into the industry! If I could just spend a day with the kind of tech that you and a UK youtuber I watch, Mumbo, have at your disposal I would be in heaven... I have a Sony DSC_HX80 camera which is great for photography but the video it shoots isn't the greatest. At some point, perhaps after the holidays, I plan to look into a new tripod so I can get better angles for the shots and a dedicated 1080P video camera.

[@friedrichrengah4747]

If you are interested in cameras maybe the stuff from Blackmagicdesign could be interesting for you. They have the Pocket Cinema Cameras which have an extremly good imagequality while being relativly small and handy by costs of only 1400 bucks. I work with one of my own and I have to say, its very obvious that this camera is designed for film especially. And you get their editing and colorgrading software added for free :) I don‘t get paid from them or something like that, I just really like their products and made very good experiences with it. I hope this comment is helpfull to you, have a nice day :) Greetings from Germany

[@eatahfood]

Impressive setup, we can only dream of getting to that stage of production with our stuff. Also, spotted that Angostura Bitters and Appleton Estate Rum! #Caribbean

[@phobod1]

I always wondered how you were able to get such a professional looking show produced for a KZbin channel, your episodes honestly look just like an episode you'd see on food network... now i know why lol. Thanks for the cool behind the scenes look Glen

love the Studio tour. great to see the magic behind those cameras

[@trailduster6bt]

Gotta say I agree on the all hands no talking videos. I have watched a lot of your videos at this point and my enjoyment is inversely correlated with the fanciness of their production. Definitely prefer the casual no music vids you do now.

[@Sandilew76]

I just finished watching the studio tour. I'm really impressed. But not really surprised. I "discovered" your channel not all that long ago, but as the months and weeks have past, I find myself watching more and more of your videos, simply because I enjoy them so much. I really love all the history of cooking and developing of recipes that you share. I am learning so much just listening. And I do occasionally try some of the recipes as well. I appreciate how you encourage your viewers to make do with what they have, and try new things, make it their own. Your channel us so enjoyable and so relaxing, I am now watching at least one or two of your videos every day. And yes, I even enjoy repeat watching, and I recommend your channel to friends. Have a wonderful day. 👋👍❤️
