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

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

He has a day job and still releasing a ton of videos. Very very impressive.

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

It is very apparent that you have a history in filmmaking. Your quality is unmatched. Your videos look like a AAA Tv show.

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!!!

I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST COOKING IN YOUR KITCHEN THIS WHOLE TIME

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

he just roasted linus, damn

Holy shit I never thought I would hear LTT or MKBHD mentioned on a cooking channel. Kudos!

Waiting for that Linus and Glen collab

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

Really nice behind the scenes tour. Now I understand the hight production quality of the show much better!

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.

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! :)

Shed kitchen! The new garden accessory craze! Complete with gun safe.

Glen and Friends has gotten me through some tough times.....his recipes are a ray of light in my life. He is a great teacher and he explains everything so perfectly.... thanks so much, Glen!!!

Wow, not just a job, it's a life. My head spins but your results speak for themselves, amazing and ultra professional. Thank you for the big reveal.

Huge respect! Maybe you should start your Patreon. I am sure that the community around this channel wouldn't mind covering your food costs. You make great content and the Patreon would be a great opportunity to give something back. Cheers

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.

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.

Thanks for the peek behind the curtain, this was super interesting. I can't believe the quality of content that comes out of that tiny shed!

Your setup is incredible. Wow. Just so incredible

I think it's so cool that you've managed to combine your interests in brewing and cooking with your professional experience in film and marketing!

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.

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 RU-vid cooking shows. Plus the humour is always appreciated.

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!

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.

I already had a ton of respect for what you do, now I am blown away by everything. You do amazing work!

LOVE videos like these. Behind the scenes is a great way to connect with your loyal audience on a personal level and we appreciate it 😄

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.

Whatever you are getting paid, your professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and enthusiasm is worth every penny! Quite a few of us haven’t looked back since that Coca Cola video 👍🏻

"The Glen & Friends YT channel is just me having fun". That's why I like your videos... ignore my username...

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.

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

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 :)

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.

And here this whole time I thought this was a real kitchen in his house 🤦🏻‍♀️. Fourth wall broken. Great tour!

Glen: the Adam Savage of cooking.

the quality is hands down one of the best on youtube, your channel could be on tv or netflix for sure.

My ideal of heaven. Not the film stuff, the cooking gear. You are a star mate.

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.

I always wondered how you were able to get such a professional looking show produced for a RU-vid 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

Thanks for the behind the scenes of your obsession that is more than Glenn & Friends we see. Thanks again for sharing.

I’ve been following you for about a year now. This video only came up on the RU-vid 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.

Wow it’s really impressive and cool to see all it takes to do a cooking show.

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.

You're like the Bob Ross of cooking, most relaxing part of my day is watching you cook.

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. 👋👍❤️

This is fascinating AF. Thank you for showing your work space!

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

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.

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!

Explains why your channel is so great.. it's not your job, its what you love also you're a rascal for leaving that to the end lol

Every time you said "Studio" I smirked, But man you have shocked me! I always thought it was an actual kitchen! i’m also very intrigued about how you organize all your stuff so neatly 👍

This is all so dramatically more elaborate and expensive than I could’ve imagined. All to trick us into thinking it was a kitchen inside a home instead of a kitchen inside a shed. Lol

Glen - Wow. Thanks for the behind the scenes look. I understand what and how you do what you do, so much more now. Truly appreciated.

Seeing that you use RED Cameras blew me away lol, I only know how much they cost because of Linus lmao

Holy shit this setup is insane!!! I never thought it would be so high end! Oh my GOD!

Very impressive...your skills as a filmmaker make this all so much more polished, great to see the backend of things!

I enjoyed this video immensely. So interesting to see what goes on behind the scene, and just how much stuff you need for all of your food ventures. I'm so glad you make the time for your "Glen and Friends" videos which I always watch, and watch many of them multiple times. Thanks for this little peek at the rest of your cooking work.

So cool! Thanks for the behind the scenes tour and answering the questions we all have! Also it's so cool that you do your channel for fun and that you get to enjoy it with us! It brings a whole new meaning to the name of your channel!! Love your stuff it brings me joy!

Super interesting and really fillls in a lot of gaps. Amazing that you have a day job and still produce as many brilliant videos as you do.

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.

Wow Glen, that is amazing. I love how organized you are. I knew it was not the kitchen in your home, by how Jules enters, but I didn't expect this. It is awesome and I love that you get to play and have fun with recipes and cooking techniques. My best to you! Keep them coming!

You have cats 🐈 in there as well. ☺️ I heard the meow.🥺

😱 I legit always thought it was a real kitchen

I've enjoyed a lot of your productions and often wondered how it was done and what you do in 'real life'. Now that you have been so very open and shared all this with us I respect you even more than before. Keep on cooking and stay healthy.

I love how your videos have no background music, no intro logo, just the video. You don't need anything else.

I love the big reveals! And I really admire how you've perfectly caught (what I think is) the RU-vid ambiance: nice setting but homelike. Attainable. Something that makes me think "I could do that" even though I never do. I mean, things like having bins of tasting spoons and forks. I know it is possible to do and yet I have never done it.

The amount of work you put in this is insane, im sometimes making videos myself and I can say that you out a lot of effort in this, and clearly with love too. I have deep respect for you seeing how much you do to create the best quality for us, but also for your customers. Im happy for you the channel gained some popularity, keep on rocking glenn, take good care of yourself and we'll all see what the future is gonna bring us

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

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

Fantastic, I really enjoyed seeing what all goes into producing your shows. I used to produce cooking videos for RU-vid many years ago and I would’ve loved to be able to utilize a set like this!

Keep up the great work Glen! Love from Bangladesh!

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.

Long time lurker, first time commentator. I appreciate your honesty. During Covid times you at least have an income. I'm happy for you and Jules.

Just a thought, but what about some videos where you substitute an alternative ingredient into a common recipe and see if Jules can spot the oddity? I’m thinking something like a Ritz Cracker apple pie, but she doesn’t know there are no apples...

I just got up at 6:10 in the morning here in Japan! And I saw that Glen was doing a studio tour! So I had to watch it. Cool. I thought it was your second Kichen.... Wow! Amazing kitchen set up. So nice! I love your videos and I always enjoy watching what you make. I want to see your Mexican cooking videos! Real Tacos please, pretty please!

The fact that all this content comes out of that tiny building is mind boggling. Nice job sir. You put my thinkin’ shed to shame...

Like a lot of things, the more natural and easy they look, the more sophisticated they are. So impressive. Now I will see the videos with a different perspective.

"nothing crazy" said the one who has literally a cooking show-esque studio stacked with equipment

This is so cool Glen!

I was given a bunch of cookbooks from an aunt who passed on, her home was 200 years old. Some of the books are so delicate I can’t handle them. Old old recipes.

So impressed with the whole setup even more now with the behind the scenes look. A whole separate shed! Wow. Previously had a tiny amount of envy for that Breville ice cream maker you use, but was able to get past it thinking you have a successful main career and deserve your toys. You put in so much work and just grateful to get the knowledge you’re sharing.

Super cool! I'm gonna have to pay attention and see if I can spot your studio in any random ads lol

What about the cat? That's what I wanted to see.

I love watching your Glen and Friends video....But this one is one of your best ever.....Thank you for doing this....

Wow! What an interesting video! Thanks so much for the peek behind the curtain! You are truly a man of many talents...but your old cookbook recipes are my favorite!😊

Glen great video though in one way kinda sad as you broke the illusion. If you never shown me that I would of just kept on assuming it was your personal kitchen or one you had made downstairs in the basement. Linus should help his fellow Canadian out with all that RED footage you need a massive storage server if you dont already have one.

Whoa glen you got good camera gear.

Thanks for being transparent and giving us a peak into your life and work. The fact that this channel is a labor of love makes it even more awesome!

I had no idea your kitchen was in a Shed! That's awesome! Thank you Glen!

This is like when the anime character reveals that he was only using 10% of his power!

6:03 Good way to put it lol

This was such a great . Thanks for inviting us in. I’m so glad to find you have been doing this for over 10 years. I have been binge watching since I found you a few months ago. Looking forward to the Christmas months with y’all.

thanks for opening up & being real, I really honestly appreciate it. this behind the scenes was great to give a glimpse into your world.

Wow! Amazing studio and storage and film equipment and . . . . ! Thank you for the peek behind the scene of where the magic happens, Glen. We are quite fortunate that you share your recipe experiments and food knowledge with all of us. Thank YOU! (Would love to see a series on making ingredients . . . things that most people buy pre-made that would most likely be much tastier, more varied flavors options, and better for us if we made those ourselves [i.e. bacon, as you have brilliantly done; maybe crackers, brown sugar, chocolate sandwich cookies, famous maker candy bars, and the list goes on]).

Wow! Impressive setup, Glen!

That was fascinating. And you now have more tools and toys than you did back in 2019. I discovered you about 6 mo ago. Enjoying your current videos and exploring back through prior years has been fun.

Hey Glenn, i watch every single video you post just on the day it comes out and i also went back to watch most of your older videos. I always quiet liked cooking for myself and maybe my family but ever since i started watching your channel i really started cooking so much more often! You inspired me to try so many different recipes and methods and im really having an absolute blast trying them out even though i dont always succeed at the first time (or the second) its so much fun learning more about cooking and also some of the history behind certain recipes. The studio tour was hella impressive by the way. I hope you keep up the absolute amazing work.
