[@michaelhofer9149]

My first recollection of watching “FroKnowsPhoto” was the series you did when you chronicled your mom’s battle with cancer. My oldest son is a cancer survivor and watching your raw emotion come out, I felt it. You also took one of my favorite DJs from Radio104.5 and I’m ecstatic that the two of you are still together. Keep on keeping on and I will continue to look forward to every segment you post, especially now that I know “Raw Talk” is still being produced. Peace!

[@OracleTestlab]

Hope your son is well, and doing good. The emotion about our nearest and dearest are so boundless. My father and mother died just 15 days apart. I know how it feels loosing your dearest in such a short time. I had to be like heart of steel to control my emotion and go on with my normal job. Coz I had responsibility of my younger brothers. Had I not been that strong they couldn’t succeed. Everything is fine Now. But even after 6 years there's not a single day that I don't remember my parents. Peace.

[@timothyrat]

You walked out of the frame and it found the eye in your photo book, incredible. The eye AF is insane. I did a photoshoot for fun with my friend's horse galloping around me. 30 minutes, 300 pics, THREE missed focus. THREE 🤯

[@BoostLeekdMedia]

Man, those floor marks are super interesting. Never really thought about doing that for my videos too! Dude, thanks for sharing your setup!

[@OldVideoPutz]

Thanks! As an old retired broadcast TV director, I really enjoyed the tour. I did think that some of it was green screen because the backgrounds looked so good. The quality that you get from your R5s, Canon glass and eye-focus is amazing. (I have an R5, and I love it. I just ordered an R7 to go with it). It never occurred to me that you had so many different setups. Good thinking color coding the floor marks to the different setups. Nicely done!

[@KevinNordstrom]

These cameras keep blowing my mind with the technology. Crazy to see the next 10 years.

[@Digmen1]

Great tour Jared, thanks No wonder the Canon R5 is selling so well, you have most of them in your studio!

[@KunalMalhotraKM]

This is a DREAM studio setup, amazing :)

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

You came a LLLLLLLong way bro! So proud and I appreciate what you bring to the photography community. 🍻

[@LadyFairChildVideo]

i find that Fro's videos are a quality wet dream. you can see the sharpness, color correct filming, and good lighting. i know people use that tired old cliche "equipment doesn't matter", but it does, just the amount of lighting , and quality to get the super sharp quality video requires a good investment. proud of you Jared.

[@robertgordontaylor]

STORE SET ‽ ‽ ‽ I still thought you were going to Allen's Camera after all these years. *mind blown*

[@surajbanerjee6850]

Q: How many Canon R5s and R6s do you need? Jared: Yes!

[@jujuxl]

Dear Fro, thank so much you for this cool backstage tour! I would really like a sequel with the discovery of your editing system and of all the production workflow of your KZbin content. ☺️

[@alonb1977]

+1 for me

[@Bricketts]

The Fro Factory is cool as shit! Thanks for the behind the scenes. That "1 hour Photo" Kodak/Fujicolor Press wall is gorgeous. I'd love to see that get incorporated more.

[@atlantamx3]

He did a really awesome video on it when it was painted. If you havent seen it, you should find it and watch!

[@Bricketts]

@@atlantamx3 I saw that one! The painter is an absolute talent!

[@brianrendon7947]

I love how the whole studio has that brick walls vintage look and y'all make it so damn cool 😎 for the videos. Taking full advantage of it

[@MrMoonpie001]

I actually call you, "one of the old guys!" That is because, I have been shooting for about 10 years now and of all the thousands of content creators, your channel remains the most consistent, most improving and most current of all the folks on KZbin. I do not own a I Shoot Raw t-shirt yet but, my body building days are way past, now it is about covering my nips ROFLOL!!!!! Thank you for this video, out of the box a bit, but that is OK!!!!!! It was like your bowling series a while back, I liked to see you and your style and tips for shooting the Pro Bowlers!!!! Again, I'm a big fan, was shocked when you dumped Nikon, even though I understand, your videos and presentations are beyond excellent!!!!! Great job Fro!!!!! Moonpie (From TN a Nikon shooter D7500)

[@jasonrossrealty]

I will never be anywhere as talented as Jared, but I sure do enjoy watching his videos.

[@matthewpierce8935]

When you first showed up on KZbin, way back when, I thought, man, this guy is perfect for TV, but I knew no network would ever attempt a show dedicated to photography. That stung a little because it’s one of my favorite subjects. Still, you had potential to be an amazing host, and a great character to advocate for the art. Fast forward, and Jared, man, you made it happen! You have created what no one would ever have invested in. For that, I truly thank you. It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch you grow and evolve, and really embody the role as an ambassador for photography and photographers worldwide. Absolutely entertaining.

[@hobbytake2845]

We call the tape “Spike Tape” in theatre use, marking positions for prop placement as well as for actor reference points to hit their mark. Absolutely great video Jared, a lot of fun to see the behind the scenes of the sets!

[@kkehoe5]

When your overlays said shoot with an R5, I thought you had 2-3 cameras. Now I know you have 2-3 cameras per shooting set. Very impressive.

[@gingerbeardman73]

Holy crap!!!!! I knew your videos were so much more professional than most other youtubers but i had NO idea it was like this!!! LOL. You got alot of gear!!! Impressive to say the least!

[@john2000l]

You have what so many photographers would give their left you know what for. Plenty of space, multiple levels, clean shot areas, and the ability to shoot your own videos. Pretty class act Jared !

[@stefanweilhartner4415]

nice setup! i wait for the z6-III to use it for a similar application

[@byteme90k]

Photo News Fix is my favorite...that background just pops!!!

[@GameLikeYouMeanIt]

I love the "Here you go nerds" videos. Super interesting honestly

[@nsbhagwat]

That checkmark table is so simple and beaten up but in the video appears to be slick. Thanks Steven for that.

[@PhilThach]

Fantastic video. Of course as a regular viewer of the channel I am familiar with every one of those sets and it was really fun to look at behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing! Now I have to make a copycat video of my disaster area sets that I use around my house for my tiny channel lol

[@Hii-nk8tp]

Yes yes. Havent watched in a while as I’ve been doing revision for GCSE’s and now with 3 days to go imma start my photography again. Keep up the good work

[@villageblunder4787]

Ah! Exams.

[@Scott_Bishell]

Jared, you have no idea how freakin cool this video is. What an amazing insight. You are a bloody clever guy

[@tarikamiz]

1:37 I tough you would say "But we got new technology today, which called Steven"

[@asystasyorg]

You go Jared! I caught on to your videos a little while back and have been watching them ever since. While I don't always agree with some of your approaches (mainly because I'm an abstract/"philosophical" photographer right now), you have given me lots of valuable information and I continue to appreciate your craft. Keep up the great work!

[@marsgizmo]

Impressive studio! Love the entire setup! 👏😎 ..might be cool to have a 3D Printer somewhere in a corner 😉

[@denimadept]

A 3D printer for what? Is he going to print his own lens caps and shades? :-D

The studio is looking rad thanks for the tour !

[@piensluc7444]

" Rad " that's a Gas monkey line........LOL

[@davideschembari3026]

The technology is amazing. Your attention to details and passion, even more

[@ItsBourbonNight]

I love set tour videos! This one was spectacular, thank you for pulling back the curtain.

[@billjobes1851]

Thanks for the tour. Your shop is much more complex than I ever imagined.

[@nallontrails]

The multi coloured tapes and your hair - tells me where to put my focus on !

[@dr.truthteller9768]

With the exclusion of KZbin, what do you do to make money? And if you are still doing paid photography work, how much are you making? What style pays you? I ask because your business is so KZbin based now and I'm sure that eats into your ability to be a stills photographer. Am I right or way off? Beautiful studio BTW

[@froknowsphoto]

this video breaks down everything: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n33PaKyZa52CrpI

[@m1ch4Lko]

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. When watching your videos, everything seems so easy and hassle-free. One doesn't realize how much work, effort and planning needs to be done "backstage". I love how everything that is usually in frame is super clean and tidy and everything that is outside of the camera's view is a work mess :D (which is completely normal).

[@clintwoosley9512]

I now understand why the R5 was so difficult to get……. You had them all…. Fantastic set-up!!

[@williamm.3981]

Awesome set up , Great tour!! Thanks Jared!! 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏼📸😊

[@joerobbins9120]

Jared, thank you for the tour, very interesting, it will help watching videos in the future

[@whisperledford3033]

Genuinely wanted to thank you for firing my love for photography again. I've shot since I was old enough to understand what a camera was (my first was a goofy little barbie themed polaroid) and never looked back. But over the last few years my time for it sort of fell off but I'm finally getting back out there and shooting again. The information you give and the knowledge you have really just reminded me, hey I love that, and I never want to stop that. So again - thanks! Bought a new camera from Allens - it gets here thursday. :)

[@TracyDavis904]

Love the half open blinds for the yellow wall effect.

[@VivekM1]

This is a really cool studio, Jared ! Appreciate you showing all the setups behind the crisp videos that you produce. Also, it gives an insight into how much amount of investments, efforts and gear setups it takes to produce videos that may seem easy/straightforward to a lot of people !

[@michelv714]

Thks for that backstage tour of the factory ! Really great place Jared !

[@RealLuisRamirez]

This has been a really interesting video and it makes me appreciate your videos more than I already do! Thanks for showing us around Jared.

[@chadhooey6092]

Your commitment to making extreme quality content blows me away, great work it's truly one of the things I use to remind myself to push beyond "good enough" and go for the best that you can! Thank you!

[@jeremyparr4238]

Jeremy Parr wow that was absolutely amazing setup awesome studio Jared yours truly Jeremy

[@rbcrist]

Only looking at the amount of glass for Canon R system makes me cry. I own an EOS R but still buy EF glass as it is more affordable, even the L ones. :). Great studio.

[@markianwoodbury]

Thank you for the tour guys - I appreciate the comfort you have for the performance of your gear. It gives me some food for thought in setting up my “studio” for my KZbin channel!

[@ziadhalwany3095]

How many R5s do you want Jared: Yes

[@erickking6729]

Diggin' the "best of the best with honors, Sir!" chair!!

[@wparo]

Wow what a setup. And here I am for six months now thinking if I should sell my Olympus EM5 to buy a canon RP..

[@neikosinclair1703]

I watched the videos when you were in your dad's backyard good to see you still going

[@BarryHull]

Thanks Jared, always interesting to get a little peek inside

[@nazukeoya]

I still love that Kodak mural, just so flipping cool.

[@jump_productions]

Loving the Canon look

[@dariushallums6321]

This is so dope! I really do appreciate you opening up and giving us the knowledge and insight to not only photography but business also. I've learned a hell of a lot from your videos and I thank you all the way from Detroit!

[@RandomRouletteFun]

The Nikon guy nonstop talking about the Canon gear is such a powerful advertisement.

[@DougiePlaysSoccer]

Man knows his top quality gear. Love the Herman miller chair!

[@froknowsphoto]

best chair for working.

[@martinsarre]

Very professional setup Jared. Glad your hard work is making you so popular and successful .

[@cfwheezy]

This is an amazing video. Its nice to see what you go through to film these videos for us. Yeah its an expensive set but i look beyond that. We see the creative side but also the labor intensive side. Fantastic work. Love the videos. Much love to you and all the employees making our days better.

[@pixiedust1273]

That is super cool. Thank you for showing us the behind the scenes.

[@namboozleUK]

Definitely the nicest photography channel set!

[@steveamurray59]

Love it. I remember the old place you were in. Thanks for sharing.

[@btecww]

Beautiful well thought out production studio (s). This validates that the R5 is a beast in video. Clearly the overheating concerns can be manage.

[@Webpromotions]

Wow, what a great video. I have serious 'gear envy, but I learned heaps as well. Cheers Scott

[@avnerbenzvi8757]

one of the best Canon advertising Video !!!

[@Calvinki]

This is probably your most informative video yet. Thanks for sharing the fruits from your years of experience.

[@julioyanez9665]

Wow all that gear! Great video

[@mvp_kryptonite]

Nice!!! I’d challenge you to use 1 or 2 R7 cameras for the studio so that you can tell the masses how they handle being put through the paces. Apart from maybe tight framing and sacrificing some bokeh (until new lenses come out), could you mix it up a little. Keep up the good work Fro!

[@mp7a]

Now I know why there is shortage of canon R5 and R6 bodies here in India, cos Jared has them all haha! 😂

[@jamessanders2164]

This was amazing to see all the different sets that you have built in the Fro Factory.

[@themangix357]

10:21 wow man that's nostalgia right there from the good 'ol days of film. 😄📸

[@derrydogsdirtbikeriders4266]

sceptically one would say its a slow news day BUT this was so interesting to see the behind the scenes scenes. As you went from studio to studio I kept hearing in my head "Yeah - oh is that how it is done". Great explanation of you methods - cheers

[@joel.wuestehube]

the sound difference on the "scripted" set is amazing. even when watching on my phone

[@SayyoSaZ]

Love this! Love seeing the work that goes into making the videos because it's much more than you just talking!! So very interesting. Hoping I can get my own space like this one day.

[@groggu]

Wow! Fro! great studio tour, it always amazes me how expert layout and practice can make a small space look like a whole building.

[@skynesher]

All great setup, just a small note about lighting , maybe try to used more diffused main light (larger source) and less fill on other side , you would get much more depth to face and it will make it more pop (more 3d).

[@jonc3118]

Great behind the scenes run down I do appreciate seeing how it's shot and camera settings. I dig it!

[@ericnathanguel]

This is great. Thanks for sharing, Jared!

[@tonyc2477]

I knew I heard the Canon money truck backin up

[@Koisplay]

First time watching a fro video in a while. It's awesome to see that everyone's still there. I remember when Dan was new haha. It's cool to see you guys move over to canon. I'm shooting with an old 70D right now but I'm hoping to get an R6 soon to shoot Boxing, Sumo (combat sports) and dogs at the dog park.

[@valdemarcaballero5298]

ABSOLUTELY FANTA

[@p0ggles]

LOL That photo news fix was legit!

[@anonymouspdg6121]

Good to see the factory. I don't shoot video but did dome filming the other day in a theatre venue, on and off for about 45 minutes using 4k. 2 minutes before the end of the show, the R5 overheated. It was pretty hot inside but soo frustrating lol. Hey ho, I'll stick to stills.

[@anonymouspdg6121]

Hi, is this a spam bot or genuine lol?

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

oh man, I thought the floor of my office was messy...that floor full with paper around the desk is a fire trap!

[@froknowsphoto]

exaxtly.

[@FranzZander]

So many impressions and ideas. Thank you soooo much and greedings from Berlin. 🥰

[@CoastCams247]

Amazing factory tour. Thank you.

[@chriswellstead776]

Just wow! technology is FAB!!!

[@tomphanvpd6718]

3 SL2,18-55, 50mm, ring lights, call it a day

[@1redcougar175]

Congratulations on your sets and process!

[@arfmf]

My favorite Canon shill lol! Learned so much from you Jared! Thank you!

[@NoBodyKnowsWhoIAm]

The amount of times Fro spoke about "filming all by himself" makes me worry for Steven's job position 😂

[@jameswhitehead6758]

Clap On! Clap Off! The Clapper! @2:16 Awesome.

[@coolcid8888]

Was in Philly recently. Honestly was thinking about your channel and where your studio was. Honestly would be cool to go there

[@duaneromanell3431]

What an amazing space! You are indeed a fortunate and talented guy. Thanks for the tour.

[@derekhorsburgh6238]

That was a really interesting tour, loved it !! Thank you :)

[@clfeuillet]

Nice, love your space optimisation fro, amazing to see how you evolved and how your hard work paid off.

[@amcheung10]

Loved this behind the scenes video! Canon AF ftw 💯
