What happened to RocketJump on KZfaq? Why is Freddie Wong famous? What is Freddie Wong doing these days? Who owns RocketJump? What movies was Freddie Wong in? Will there be a VGHS Season 4? Are Freddie Wong and Jimmy Wong related? Those are the questions you may be asking yourselves on KZfaq. In this video, I will go over Freddie Wong's entire KZfaq career, his creation and involvement with RocketJump, why Freddie Wong left KZfaq, and what Freddie Wong, Brandon Laatch, and Jimmy Wong are up to after KZfaq.

Besides his recent work with Dropout and Dimension 20, I'm assuming he's quietly working in the video editing industry, like for television or cinema. I don't actually know, but you have to remember that his youtube channel was also his production studio, so it's a natural assumption that they just found steady work in the industry that isn't worth making youtube videos for.

Freddie and his friends don't get enough credit these days. They are probably one of the hardest working dudes in the internet space. It's because they love what they do. Even though they wanted to move a little beyond KZfaq, to me, they were the REAL last KZfaqrs of my generation. Classic KZfaq wasn't about the money it was about making cool stuff for people to watch and they did that. I will always remember the cool stuff they made on this site.

It's pretty awesome how many cool things spun off those early videos. Not that they wouldn't/couldn't have become popular in their own right, but the Corridor Digital channel, and Brandon's company, and Node, etc are kind of all the next generation offspring of some early KZfaq viral videos.

An interesting takeaway from this is that part of what made Freddy stop making short, VFX heavy videos was KZfaq starting to prefer and reward longer videos. Definitely an unintended, and very unfortunate, consequence.

@@lordfrz9339 what is so weird is that shorter videos have always been better. The only thing that has varied is whether Google's algorithm rewards shorter or longer videos. I graduated film school just after Google purchased KZfaq and people were doing studies on ideal video lengths. Even after Google increased the maximum video length beyond 10 and 15 minutes, it didn't matter because most viewers wouldn't pay attention that long anyway.

I think nowdays is way harder to produce this type of content, sadly... You'd have to start from 0 OR invest your money into it, we're talking -just like freddy did- all nighters and heavy workloads to put out these videos weekly, you can't do that AND have a job to eat while you hit it big. So unless someone throws a million dollars at it, maybe two, and produces the whole thing from scratch, it'd take years for a content creator to get big enough to do this sort of stuff again. And it's SAD, it's irreplaceable and always remember, this is a thing youtube STOLE from us. the corpo greed and the current state of ads and viewtime vs views is what kills this sort of content.

I stuck with rocket jump for years actually. Back when they were still called freddiew, watching all of VGHS and ACD. All the shorts and stuff. I didn’t even realize four years passed after rocketjump stopped uploading and i felt a pit sink in my stomach when I did realize just how much time passed. I’m glad to see that Freddie is still doing stuff. It’s sad to see things come and go, and it would’ve been nice to see a goodbye video, but I’m just glad Freddie seems to have just moved on and not died or got cancelled or some other BS drama. Kinda sad we won’t get ACD season 3 though

It’s sad that a platform that is meant to hold creations of whatever you want, is not sustainable as a job if you don’t meet certain very specific criteria. I love content that is being produced these days, for sure. Even videos like this one here. But the fact that you can’t live off of what makes Hollywood sustainable is probably soul crushing. Imagine creating stuff that rivals big name studios, only to be constantly gate kept to being a KZfaqr, even by your own platform. But, love what Freddy Wong does these days, and love what he’s done! It even seems like a couple of people who worked beside him, as well as himself, constantly are pushing the envelope to this day!

This is more of a chronical of Freddy's career than what happened to him. I would recommend breaking down all the events into different eras for easier viewing and grasping of timelines. Time slips and slides all over. and sometimes numbers of dates alone don't quantify it. I know I struggle to properly estimate when it was I did something and trying to remember what space I was in 7 or more years ago seems arduous. anyway, that's my only constructive criticism I have for your video. It's very informative.

his story reminds me of the cartoon family tree. where one channel just leads into another, I never knew corridor was made by a former rocket jump creator. like I heard of a guy named jimmy Wong who played a part in rocket jump and ending up being an important character in the game Bonelab and a little bit of Boneworks. wow I never know that a lot of creators I liked would be connected in such a cool way. and in retrospect i can see how "stress level zero" was made by a "former rocket jump" creator, the story of Boneworks feels like something rocket jump would make. glad to see they are truly doing something great with their carrier's years down the line.

As for how Hollywood currently operates; well it's pretty much already been said. I hope FreddieW is happy doing whatever he's doing now, and I wish to success to all those guys from back then .

17:20 Freddie you are so fortunate to only have done that for so long. I worked the overnight shift for two years while driving my son to school both ways during the day. It can mess with your sleep patterns. For me, my circadian rhythm will reset and I can have healthy sleep but only if I exercise daily and keep my eating/sleeping on a schedule.

Wow. All these names. Jogged me through memory lane. The early 2010s was a fun time. Truly the golden age of KZfaq.

Somehow I only found out about Freddie Wong by the time his channel was closing down. Major bummer.

I like the guy, I hope he went on to do bigger and better things. I definitely stopped watching anything from him sometime between 2013 and 14. Just wasn't the same and I never managed to follow what he did off of youtube. This video told me a lot of what freddie was up to.

I only know Freddie from Dungeon and Daddies, so all of this is WILD to learn.

FreddieW was a visionary. He called it KZfaq Shorts before KZfaq called it KZfaq Shorts.

What ever Freddie gets up to nowadays, I wish him the best. I totally get the shift in focus, very few OG KZfaq personalities are still left since they've grown up, lost interest in their old style of content or just wanted something new like Ryan and Sean from Nigahiga. Even titans like Jim Carrey just doesn't enjoy acting anymore and just wants to live his life now.

Thank you so much for this update. I first got onto KZfaq back when Freddie was first exploding And remember, for years thinking. that the Freddie W and Corridor channels were the best channels on youtube Since I whas not paying attention to much else At the time And now years later, it's great to see what happened Since I really missed those Constant short videos. I have such fond memories of those days back when Mr. Guitar man was spending hours making stop motion videos. Boxy was exploding and Smosh whas Going crazy
