What was your favourite SOLO Filmmaking Tip and how will you use it next? Let me know below 👇 🎥📱👌
The Zip-line! I didn't know it does excist! Thank you!
@@ninakrzyzanskinaturfotografie I got sent the zip-line about 12months ago but never got around to testing it. It really surprised me how fun it was to use and how great the shots came out. I might very well do a dedicated video on the zip-line in the future, I'm curious to see how it would perform with a 360 camera attached so that the framing could be adjusted in post.
Please use an android smartphone for one of your tutorials not an iPhone
Thanks sir.. hopefully i can buy iphone 11 for video creating..good job and thank you sir
Loved the locked focus idea using your hand. Very smart. 👍🦘
It's rare I'm compelled to subscribe to a channel after watching one video. This tutorial was top-notch!
Thanks and welcome to the club 🛎️ 😀👌
That cell phone zip line thing is genius. One use I could see is in places where drones are illegal like our National Parks here in Canada.
You just keep coming up with better ways to create content. Your end result definitely felt there was a cameraman.
man that left to right thing... "leaving vs returning." Blew my mind apart!
It really just boils down to creativity and you don't really need expensive gadgets to capture cinematic B-roll. Thanks for this video, really helps a lot.
Creativity...and time to do each setup.
This was insane. Been so nervous about filming myself outdoors, but THIS !? This made me feel very very confident, thank you!
Yes, that's right I thought filming a B-roll could be so difficult, but then I realized, that when you're creative you can make it on your own.
I don't have a camera and don't have a good phone for shots, don't have a gimbal, don't have that extension pole, editing skill not very good... But still I try my best to click some cinematic videos that why I really like your video and watch you when I'm free ❤️
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
This Solo B-roll techniques is really wonderful.. and it can be best used where the drone shots are not permitted..
This must be my favourite film-making video ever! Beautifully done!!
I couldn't think of how you got some of those shots before I watched how you did it. You call it a game changer, I agree! I love how you explain to set up each effect. I learn a lot from watching your channel, so thank you!
Don't stop, Learn Online Video! My respects!
The zip line was a total game changer. I thought you had help till I saw that part. Amazing
That was amazing. It depends on who you’re asking. Someone who knows about shooting footage could probably tell it’s solo but to a random person looks like you had a whole crew.
Thank you for this.
Thank you for doing this - I am preparing a longer travel trip and your hints come in with a perfect timing. Thank you for doing your channel - that definitely helps to improved the videos and photos already ad so in the upcoming travel. Thank you Steve, 🖖for sharing your ideas and experiences.
Great! Loved every second of it! I want that zip line thing!
Nice work! I’m looking for ways to add more B-Roll and camera movement to my videos, so this was really helpful. My favourite tip was the zip line. That’s “next level.” 😀💯
What an extraordinary footage.. Goosebumps seeing the final version with apt music and sound effects. Aspiring to make videos like u.. 🥰😍
Wow, the zip line technique produced fantastic shots!
Brilliant, Steve. So helpful!
This has really made me realise how a simple bit of extra thought and planning shots can make such a huge difference - Fabulous stuff - thank you
Another great video! I really found your ideas great and inspiring. I know I get concerned that I don’t have all the latest and greatest equipment, but you once again show with a few tools - even just your smartphone - and some creativity you can create great videos. In the final film, if I hadn’t known you filmed it by yourself I would have thought you had another person filming you. Thanks again for the great video tutorials.
Sam! Great workshop! Thanks for showing me the techniques for shooting! I'm sure you shot everything on your own.
Excellent tutorial as usual Steve. Love your work mate !!
This video was right up my alley! perfect for my solo hiking/travel channel.
I have used many of these shots/angles before (that I have learnt from your past videos, of course) but you just gave me a few other excellent ideas here. Thank you, Steve!
That’s brilliant 🙌 tons of great ideas and advice.. thank you 🙏
As always, the tips and tricks are very valuable and helpful!
as always your videos help a lot specially now that i am into vlogging myself..looking forward to more quality tutorials❤
Really amazing techniques told by you as usual 👍👍
The results are really amazing 😮🔥🔥
Wow.. thank for sharing, this is incredible!🙏
Wish I had found you sooner. Great videos. Thank you and looking forward to putting some of your tips into practice.
Thank you friend for providing a very inspiring lesson👍
Hi Steve, thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge specially for me as a beginner by just using some of the filming techniques of making videos using an iPhone .Indeed a very useful and interesting video.
Love everything about this video
I always enjoy your tutorials. So helpful.
The fake drone video using a tripod to lift is my favorite
Awesome video! So many great tips. My only thing is the zip wire would get in lots of shots but probably still good for travelling videos like this.
That was amazing and impressive b roll sequence. I learned a lot👌👌. Thanks a lot Steve🙏
Amigo esse vídeo ficou ótimo 😊
you're incredible, thanks for sharing all those kind of tips👍🤙👏
Material extremadamente valioso para quien se esta iniciando y para quienes ya tienen alguna experiencia , gracias
Wow! Excellent guidance and so we illustrated. Thanks 🙏 I’ve used many of those techniques I was pleased to realise. The zip line was totally new to me though and I’m still considering a smart gimbal for my iPhone (you’ve sold me on the idea!). My DJI Mini 3 Pro is indeed what I would use for those low following shots rather than a zip line. This was a valuable watch so thanks again. I will subscribe!
very useful tips! I'm always picking up new tricks when I watch your videos! thanks!
Ive been watching your vids nonstop eversince this morning and i just got so excited trying these for myself that i ordered myself a gimbal already. This looks so fun!!!!
We didn't even hear the helicopter in the final shot doing the zoomed in orbit. Yes I know there wasn't a helicopter but that was a superb final shot.
Thanks for sharing this technique is truly amazing and useful for beginners and those without a camera crew 😊👍
Fantastic video with great advice - thank you for sharing
well done.!!! thank you for this, so much to learn
great content and no one will know you shot it solo, but you did.
That was great - plenty of ideas to help to improve my work. Just one question - how long did it take you to make that video - including planning, filming and editing?
This is so damn amaizing and so inspired. Good luck with all the upcoming content. Cheers.!!!
That rock mate!!! is about the creativity and flow you impart in to your craft, nobody have imagined that was solo work , looks like at least 2 man crew with a drone!!! , thanks for sharing and inspiring all of us who are interested or do video work of any sort. your are a TOUR DE FORCE!!!!
thanks for helping me with my assignment btw❤
My pleasure 😊 I hope you get the grade you were hoping for 🤞let me know.
I am a more recent subscriber (last 2 years or so), but this is my first time commenting and I just have to say, I absolutely love your content and the way you present these tips and tricks. You explain them in a way that makes sense, including the "artsy" thought process and perspective behind these tips. Thank you good sir!
Why first time commenting hehe .. you've been here for two years. hehe ... welcome to the comment section though .
I was waiting for this video so much! I really liked it because I often make videos where I have no one to help me and I run out of ideas! thanks for the great ideas
Just love your videos. Keep making them.
Very useful tips for shots as well as how they can go together. I love the mix and it definitely kept me interested. I can't really answer the question about solo/camera man ... I watch several adventure creators shooting by themselves and always enjoy and then I think about how much work and backtracking they did to get themselves and vehicles etc. into the footage. But while I am watching, if the creator is good, I never think about it :) ... same with this. I knew you were shooting solo but I got intrigued with the sequence.
Well said. Agreed!
Thanks a lot for making this content, bro. It really helps me get more creative and research more on my own. I hope you keep getting more and more success in giving out to the community for free, wich is crazy. Thanks a lot
Amazing video! Thanks for share with us
Gives me much more confidence, and more toys to look into buying!
Wow! Thanks for the amazing tips on the camera work. I have been using Epidemic sound for a couple years now, and I never knew about the thing you showed where you can sample a good part and it will find you similar sounding stuff. Very much appreciated!
Same here I never knew that was a thing? game changer for me. I have no idea how many hours I spend trying to find bits of songs that are similar cannot believe I didn't know this. I agree the tips on camera work on this video are the best on any of Steve's videos so far IMHO (and they are all fantastic tbh)
Much appreciated@@LeeCharlesTV and I'm glad to hear that the Epidemic Sound audio tip helped 🙂 That feature alone has saved me countless hours searching for the right track. Thanks
@@LearnOnlineVideo yep I was like 'wow game changer!' I spend way too many hours over music so this is already helping. You're a star thank you 🙂
Had to keep reminding myself this was shot on a mobile phone. The use of the zip line was brilliant and I only saw the line in shot because you mentioned it,otherwise I’d be thinking of a drone shot. Gotta to go and try some of these myself. Thanks again for a very educational and inspiring video
Thank you very much! This was very educative & informative.
Amazing!! Thank you
We just invested in a gorilla pod and it’s completely upped our footage! Love these videos - we always learn something new from you 😀
Thank you
Hi Steve. What frame rate did you use for the B-roll shots? Thanks
Im really impressed with what we can do with just a few things pointed out. Good teacher dir.
ANOTHER BRILLIANT TIP TUTORIAL, LOVING LEARN ON VIDEO, THANK YOU!
I can underline all of your tips. I also use the Wiral lite flying cam, whenever possible, although it is sometimes a pain in the ass to set everything up, if you are traveling alone... Your location for this demo was ideal, because so secluded with nearly no other tourist... But imagine the normal situation, where it is maybe a risk, leaving the 1200$+ iPhone behind you to walk away 20 meters... Good luck 😬🤪
Hey @WasmitReisen, I agree, The Wiral Lite flying cam can be a fantastic tool, although it can sometimes be a bit cumbersome to set up, especially when traveling alone. Location choice is key with all of these shots, this location was perfect for demonstration purposes but capturing solo Broll in the city (or any built up areas) is much more challenging. Personally, I would avoid leaving camera gear unattended altogether in busy locations and focus on shots using an extension pole combined with cutaway shots. This would allow you to capture both shots of yourself and your location but still keep all your equipment safe. Thanks for watching.
@@LearnOnlineVideo that's the reason, why I meanwhile love my Insta 360 One RS 1" ... it allows interesting angles and surprising views, has - because of the 1" chip and the Leica lens - a very good quality even after framing -- and it stays next to me, connected through the short or long invisible Stick 🙂
@@LearnOnlineVideo ... and, "one little more thing"... I just bought the Hover Air X "Flying selfie stick" it's a no brainer concerning operation (only 125 gramm) and is meanwhile my must have for follow or dolby shots. So easy - even, if you have to do a moderation, because the app filters all drone noise nearly perfectly...
@@WasmitReisen Hey there, how are you liking your Hover Air X? I've been researching it, and it looks pretty cool! Can it detect branches and stuff if you film in a forest? or will it fly straight into stuff?
@@madeiraislander my experience right now is, that the hover can avoid obstacles very very well in follow mode. But if you choose dolly mode (camera in front of you, filming you while flying backwards), there is no object detection, and the hover would crash if something is in the flight pass
that's one problem no extra people to help make creating content easier.
You might be able to find a facebook group near your area for actors and filmmakers. I'm in a group for the Atl area. Also, have you considered asking family and friends for help?
Fantastic Job! Great tips great editing and very entertaining as well!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial ❤❤❤
Love this video, gives me some ideas for my upcoming short trip!
wow! This is a really good tutorial, you are very creative, your move looks simple but your ideas are so great. thank you for this video.
You are genius sir❤ thank you for sharing your ideas in film making using just a phone. More power ranger to your chanel. God bless you always🙏
Absolutely amazing ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience ! Best regards from Portugal.
Amazing. Could not tell you did it solo!
This channel has been impactful for me really. I’ve been following for more than two years now.❤🇧🇹
Amazing. Thanks!
Very nice! Looks like you had help, yet you did it solo. I enjoyed it.
Really great tips, thank you! Subscribed

Over all great video
What a fantastic video. thanks
Very helpful. Thank you.
Absolutely wonderful
Great work! Thank you!
Excellent job ❤ learned a lot thank you
You're really a hero for me! Because of you I discovered that things can be possible with my smartphone. Kudos!
absolutely amazing video tutorial and demonstration of how powerful it can be when using the right tools with the smartphone. thanks very much and keep up the good work and God bless!
Way higher, the best tutorial for beginner filmakers! Incredibly good. My respects!
Loved it Steve. Did not feel like it was shot solo at all. The only clue was seeing some of the rope in the shot. But I think I only noticed it since you pointed it our. Very much enjoyed the tips.
Just finding out that my Samsung has autofocus lock alone was worth watching this video. I have been so frustrated at the phone hunting in and out of focus after I have set up the shot and now that's one more irritation kicked into touch. But there was so much more to learn from just this one video that I immediately subscribed, because I can see that there is so much more to come. Thank you.
Great info… thanks.
