I KNOW! MOFO LOOKS THE SAME AND IM GETTING OLD AS FCUK AND IM BLACK, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

It's cause his stress level is 0

@@XfarglesX underrated reference

I thought only black didnt crack but apparently, neither does nerdy...

@@Not2Creativeman u beautiful soul

That formula Is what got me into node specifically.

Actually he seems really witty with a sharp sense of humor

@@Autotunethyeveryday yeah, i only watched node because i started with brandon and freddie. But Brandon kept me into node while they played lan games together. Freddie is good at what he does, but his content never really spoke to me after their departure.

he created vr bonelabs

You don't even really know him, you just watch things he made and you idolize him. That is gross.

but have they ever appeared in a video together? * dun, dun, duuuuuuun *

@@SiopaoSauc3 they have actually. i forget which ones its been so long but there were several

As i recall there have been 2 videos where they actually directly interacted with each other. In the others it was alwsys just one in the background.

Soul Warfare42 corridor just released a video with Freddie

@@oilman5578 There's one where they're all at a convention and sitting down together.

this is so accurate my god

haha for real, finally

Well I wasn't in middle school a decade ago but it feels good to hear the reason why bjl left freddiew... I will sleep well tonight for real

now we just have to wait for the full scoop on the Game Grumps debacle

dheonix right!!!!

Wish you all the success man. Even the reason for me getting to learn VFX filmmaking in general were these guys. I am a Paint/Comp artist with 1 year experience. I wish they were same like before creating intriguing creative vfx vids.

That's so cool. Very inspiring ☺️

Oh did he?

I don't think Clint was ever part of RocketJump. He was known as "pwnisher" at the time and had a hit video "cardboard warfare" Pretty sure Freddie knew him because of that or possibly before that.

@@TeamWnJ Clint was on the shorts team for RocketJump for a few months.

He worked with them for a while but He worked with everyone, even doing shorts with Corridor while working for RJ, so it's likely that it was a job better suited to his life style than, as Brandon suggests, the 9 to 5 aspects that were creeping into working for Rocket Jump.

@@TheRealAlpha2 Yea that sounds about right, there ya go

It should be like in predator when dutch and dillion meet again. The dynamic duo. Ready for one last huzzah.

@@leopoldbriggs7139 never gonna happen. neither of them are even a part of Corridor

They have; tonnes :)

​@@baelm Not impossible, but very unlikely. There have been times when we've seen Freddie visit the studio to hang out on a few Corridor Crew videos, and he did a cameo in their TactiCOOL Reloads video from 6 months ago, but Freddie is just too busy to be around for an epic reunion like that to happen again. At least we know they're still good friends.

Sure I saw him in the laser video? Might be remembering wrong though 😅

I tried to watch it but your right the vibe of what it was just changed too much

He left when it wasn't the same vibe anymore so that would make sense.

Same here... once in a very rare while they'll drop something funny with freddie just being silly, (like "freddie's v-log") but mostly i didn't care for vghs or 90% of what followed.

ikr

VGHS season 3 was really good

They've been making content consistently, they just don't use YT as their home platform. 3/4 of the creative minds behind FreddieW are in RJ.

@@theconqueringenigma what platform do they use? is it on their site rocket jump?

Yeah and tbh i feel that the quirky "rocketjump" humour (you know what im talking about) used to be the little side thing which made their videos stand out more but now it just feels like the quirkiness was the point and for me that just took all the fun out of the rocketjump videos.

I wouldn't say the "professional" part is the problem. It's more like "total cringefest with higher production value"

Agreed, I loved freddiew videos, right up until VGHS, then I stopped as I simply didn’t enjoy their new direction. The don’t touch my ice cream short is still one of the most memorable video I’ve enjoyed since watching KZfaq

This. As soon as they hopped to "Rocket Jump", it just felt so corporate. Like it was less about the passion of making videos, and more about "how can we maximize profit".

@@_kijetesantakalu What's wrong about wanting to make a living with something you're passionate about?

For real. I grew up watching these guys back when it was just Corridor and FreddieW. It's really cool to see how far all of them have come.

Freddie might not have been wrong, but he sure is Wong.

I'm perplexed as to why you spelled "to do" as todo lol

Same here. FreddieW was the channel that inspired me into film making. The good old days with crappy 60d camera with airsoft gun can produce more 'magic' than all those hollywood stuff in RJ now

People say they're "just" parting ways and I don't believe that. I believe it's a good "break up" situation. Yes it's a good break up, but it's still break up. Brandon actually tweeted that he had problems with rocketjumps' lawyers before, which is why his Minecraft movie he proposed never got made. So yes, they don't hate each other, but I believe they're not in speaking term either. It sucks

@It's Dre The way you portray yourself in videos doesn't have to correlate with your actual personality. Talking yourself up as the greatest thing ever is a really common act for people to adopt because it's simple and funny.

they are friends, they make videos together.. but they did have issues during the breakup @@stefanwu185

@It's Dre Wait seriously? Freddie is one of the chilliest, least self-aggrandizing guys in every shoot. He's obviously still the boss, but he's never come off as actually cocky and arrogant about himself. You're talking glibly about companies you don't understand (and, indeed, most of us in these comments don't understand). You can blame Freddie for going corporate, or you can applaud him for finding ways to sustain and pay a bunch of really talented people who are doing good work. Now certainly, not all of that work hits to the degree it used to, but that's also a reflection of how far KZfaq and general content creation has come in the years since they started. As Brandon says, you can't be at the top of the game forever - and it's clear that Freddie, just like Brandon, wasn't interested in chasing that dragon anymore. It's perhaps ironic that they were the ones who spawned some of that movement in the first place. But it's not bad. Again, RocketJump is a company that still maintains a decent-sized core staff to do work in and beyond KZfaq. I would not call that crumbling.

Me too JJ :(

Michael Hwang um dimension 404?

I don't know what Freddie is doing right now, but with Brandon's success in the gaming industry, it's clear to see just how talented he is.

They were never pissing around. It was always their career and it was always meant to lead to more. RJ was always Freddie's goal. Freddie, Matt, Brandon, and Dez worked together on that channel for years because it was literally their jobs.

Meh, I still love RvB, it's still pretty hilarious, unlike most people that watch it today (people who came from RWBY), I don't think the first 5 season are a slog, I love them, I memorized every line from episode 1. But, I must admit that season 6 through 10 is very good, and the Chorus trilogy is also very enjoyable.

I can understand that, but the thing is that most filmmakers start something to push towards evolving and being more professional. Not too many want to just make the same type of stuff all the time.

I used to watch RvB until Season 15, where the director/writers were excessively obsessed with stupid cliffhangers, and they kept yanking that damn chain that the original Church was going to return as a main character since being killed off in 9 years previously. I wish RvB well, but it's just not what it once was: A shadow of its former self

Yes, thespianautomaxaphobia often manifests in those who express anarchist opinions against "the man" or any other traditional, socially entrenched communities such as close minded business people of Hollywood. When will Hollywood every become progressive?

I don't get it.......

I heard Marlon Brando had the same phobia.

Or live long enough to see yourself to become the villain

It seems like the life of a medium YT is constant increasing grind for a slowly diminishing return. I can see why Brandon checked out of that and Freddie W shifted to the production company grind instead. It was great while it lasted but the change in YT pay outs really crushed the viability anything like their early high effort short length videos.

At least someone agrees, what was the channel supposed to do? Not grow and become a bigger entity?

They aren't a channel, they're a company producing content with regular jobs. They have their own original content like VGHS, D404, and ACD, as well as a bunch of stuff that they've produced on contract for other companies. Their lives don't revolve around YT and frankly, that's perfectly okay. Corridor has probably taken up some contracts as well considering how long they've gone between main channel uploads.

The Conquering Enigma Yea thats what I meant. Apart from being hired for commercials and other companies to produce content; Corridor Digital is still in charge of their original content and is constantly developing new projects for themselves unlike RocketJump as seen in their behind the scenes channel. RocketJump ditched that “homemade” style content unlike Corridor which continues to produce new videos when they arent working on larger productions.

@@cinezurdo moron

D was a P.A. on the army of two freddiew video (he was a PA for others but that was the first time the yh all met), he became friends with freddie amd thats how they all met D

Well right now D edits mode videos.

D is the showrunner for Node.

When I was introduced to node, I honestly thought D was Freddie after losing weight. I was a fan of FreddieW but stopped watching when it switched to Rocket jump. When a friend showed me node, I recognized Brandon and thought it was the same crew. D being Asain and Freddie not being there, the only conclusion I came to was they are the same people.

It's not *that* bad if you can manage to split up the episodes between the three. Unfortunately, I don't think they did that, and that's where it ultimately hurt them stress wise. If they had one doing three episodes, then it probably would have made it a bit easier and would have fixed that problem

How did you catch that? Anyways nice find

PommacX I'd imagine it's the physical space itself. It's the room at the end of the studio, under the kitchen area. It looks like they've painted it and furnished it to be a more cozy space, and it's just naturally inviting people to talk in hushed tones while in there, mostly subconsciously.

@@DenisRyan If that's the case, perhaps they need to open it up a bit more, liven it up and make it brighter. Having enthusiastic, slightly loud, voices make for great comedic moments which feel a lot more entertaining. You can slightly see this happening Joe Rogan's podcast where they basically end up shouting at each other every podcast episode, which makes it entertaining (interestingly, they're in a nice big open room). Same thing with H3H3's podcast. Though if they're going for a bedtime podcast perhaps it's a stylistic choice to be soft and calming.

dhyams 003 I don’t think he works for Corridor, he runs the Node channel.

First choice anime bad guy with trench coat.

He was previously the camera guy for the node channel and has now progressed into becoming a co-director at node and all-round badass. Basically a ‘friend of the show’ at corridor

He's the editor for the node channel's videos
