Love to see all the input from members of the BYU photographic team. The whole process in initiating & planning the concept from start to finish was quite remarkable. Thank you for sharing your video with the photographic community.😊🙏

This is one of those incredible things where you say 'I want to do that', and then you realize just how difficult it really is! Great work!

BYU Photo continues to raise the bar. Not only are the images and shots so incredible, but love the behind the scenes look at the work and preparation that goes into each photograph. Jaren, Nate and their team have skills and talents to work and improve with each photo shoot. Jaren making that many sheets of sugar glass! Who knew that kitchen skills would be required to produce amazing photos. Can't wait to see what they cook up next.

[@paultrunfull3324]

WOW, AWESOME, GREAT, FANTASTIC that was brill from start to finish well worth the watch and has inspired me to do something like that if it works I'll sent you a copy.

[@byuphoto]

Please let us know what you end up trying out. We would love to see it!

[@paultrunfull3324]

@@byuphoto Will do, looking to something with a martial artist/boxer will send a copy once I've done it (at mo recovering from elbow surgery}

[@outsideview9052]

That arm needs to finish the swim motion to the left after he bust through the glass. Leaving it stationary seems odd. The right arm could come forward as he busts through as well to show the real motion. Obviously I dont know your business as you do but this looked fun for you.

[@byuphoto]

Thanks for the feedback, the reason to keep it stationary was so the helmet didn't move. Makes for a better still photo, but not a video.

So you made peanut brittle minus the peanuts😄

[@byuphoto]

We have a newfound respect for candy makers.
