Part 2 is live now! It's all about how to keep your camera from getting stolen when you're filming yourself by yourself ❤
ruclips.net/video/sy-WeJBk1Gg/видео.html
Okay real talk, this is seriously an INCREDIBLE video. I can't even process how to film yourself filming yourself, and this video runs so smoothly. You deserve all the external validation you get!!
Ha, thank you!! It was a lot of work, especially since I had a ton of technical difficulties 😅 but we got it done. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🫶🏻
yeah im not gonna record myself just so that no one can see it because i have no one lol, thats why i just do photography and sell those
Yes it's fantastic 👏
Couldn’t agree more😅
I've struggled with doing this type of self-shoot. It's beyond frustrating. The level of patience people have to do this is admirable.
Hahaha right, it requires so much patience
I'm going to start doing this.
I like the thought of someone passing by your car and just seeing a lady in the backseat talking to herself
hahaha that happened a lot
For someone who is always shoots alone, you have inspired me to a new level of creativity! Thanks so much!!! 💯💪🏾🇺🇸
Oh yay!! What is something you’re gonna try next?
@@lilafromyoutube I am going to try everything you said in this video to make shorts of me going to the Survivors Memorial. The Survivors Memorial is a documentary I am working on and my first big project. I would love to keep you posted on it.
❤ great 👍
Can u speak German or why is your accounts name "Einmalig"? :)
@@ChristinaKey G'day
I was very impressed how fluid the AI voice over was, that was super smooth
If you apply any of the tips of this video and/or use the AI voice over in a project, let me know in the comments so I can check out your work ❤
Here is the external validation.
Great work, I always do a storyboard as well as a shooting script
The best part, along with the great tips, was the encouragement that "you are not alone." It's easy to forget that when you only see the finished product. I appreciate you, as always!
Thanks!! It’s probably better to leave it out for ✨ retention purposes ✨ but I felt tired and defeated after the shoot that I needed to say it in case anyone else feels that way haha. I definitely felt a bit alone because no one really mentions it! 😂
The focus tip is literaly amazing, that will help me a loooot!! Wonderful video!
🫶🏻🫶🏻
I’m so excited to get started, thank you!
Thank you for the reminder to use manual focus! My older self-filming was better because of this and I think I've forgotten to do it recently 👀🖤
The first 20 seconds... hits home.. :)
thank you lila have honestly learnt alot and now am already thinking on how am going to incorporate this in my sit-downs!
Recently got into photography (astrophotography primarily) and now I want to experiment in filming. A tripod has been the best purchase I ever bought. I use it way more than I thought. Even tried using a monopod which can be useful. And lately I finally buckled and got a selfie stick, lol. It was actually very useful since I am a solo photographer. But I ended up just using my tripod and camera delay function. I don't have enough practice in using a selfie stick though they are useful for taking close up shots. Or perhaps if you are vlogging.
Great video! And several things I haven´t thought about. Tnx
It's interesting how each aspect of the creative process is it's own siloed skill.
You may be comfortable performing on camera, but VO recording is a challenge for you. Whereas someone else may be an incredible natural voice actor, but feel very nervous on camera.
Great video.
Amazing video! My fiance and I record ourselves all the time, and have been looking for new ways to film ourselves in shots together to look more professional and cinematic. Can't wait to try some of what we learned from this video, and browsing your channel to see more of your material. Thank you!
Loved it, thank you!!!
You won a new subscriber. Awesome information and easy to follow and understand, not like others with so many fancy words and equipment ❤
Thanks im about to head off in a few weeks for a photoshoot trip with models and togs and wanted to make sure I have good footage I think a lot of these will help me big time
Wow, what a nice day! That shot hits home on how difficult something seemingly so simple really isn't. Thanks!
I didn't think I was gonna learn anything, but this video is sooooo informative. Thank you! Hopefully to get back to filming. - Now I have to bookmark and rewatch over again.
Way to go! This was amazing… and the timing is perfect- I was just about to film myself roe an introduction video. Thank you 🎉😁👍🏻
The camera backpack idea is genius
Great tips!!! Love them! Im using the focus on your foot shot as you get off the car. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this video Lila. I want to improve my adventure videos to make them more cinematic but I found other channel's tutorials harder to follow. This one was perfect.
I only started my vlogging channel 2 weeks ago so thank you for these tips & great methods for filming yourself. Much appreciated Lila. Kind regards, Tony
Adding the edited video at the end would have made a huuuuuge difference to this video.
Agreed.
I’m confused, did you skip the intro? 😅 the intro is the edited video.
@@lilafromyoutube 🤦🤣 Oops! I'm going for a second watch now.
Sorry.
@@lilafromyoutube You've said: it's in the intro. You're making us rewind, which on RUclips is a no-no. Repeating the edited video at the end would have made your video many times better.
Friendly note: I'm giving you the advice I wish my viewers had given me a while back :)
@@spanishwithmaria i dont like your rules
Thanks for all the awesome tips. ❤ I’m learning so much from you
thank you, you are the spark i needed badly to take the first step,,, god bless
Thank you! your videos are inspiring us to film better and edit better. I hope someday we could get to this levels. Our RUclips journey is beginning :)
This is really great! So many good tips. Definitely inspires me to better storytelling in my videos. Here’s my challenge: Most of the “how to film yourself” tutorials like this are set in areas where there are no other people. I live in a big city, where there are always other people not too far. I feel so uneasy about setting up my camera on a tripod and filming myself walking away. I’m so afraid that someone’s going to see me doing that and snatch my gear at the first opportunity! Any tips on getting shots like this in a city? Or is it simply a matter of being more creative in the shots. Maybe they need to mostly be mid and close shots, and then the wider shots don’t include me? Any ideas?
Wow, what a nice day! (because Lila uploaded! 🎉)
Hahaha appreciate you ♥️♥️
Love the video production you put a lot of effort in it and I’m so happy that I found your channel much love
Great work on filming yourself.....filming yourself. Filming yourself on its own is hard work so cudos to you!
For me, it was always remembering to press that record button! I have also used two cameras when filming tutorials. One mid range and one close up. Just as challenging.
And then there's the audio! Yes, you're right. All very draining and challenging.
Great info on the AI and App which I will be checking out.
Keep up the great tutorials!
I love your videos ! Really helps me !
Appreciate it! 🙏🏻 what’s your biggest struggle when you film yourself?
Can't wait to watch this- just saved to my watch later! Hope to run into you at Vid Summit!
You're really something, man. Your delivery is fantastic and it makes me realize how much I have to learn!
Appreciate it 🫶🏻 now go make some vids!!
@@lilafromyoutube I've already got some but I'm tryingggg :-) I appreciate the encouragement!
Amazing! Have a great weekend
Love these videos, keep up the good work!! 😄
I'm a solo traveller, always looking for tips on this subject. I enjoyed it, thank you.
would love to make a follow up video so if you have any burning questions or struggles - feel free to share them here :)
@@lilafromyoutube Sure. I'll see if I can shortlist them 😆
Nice job! Thanks for the info and ideas.
This was a very helpful video and beautifully shot. Thank you and well done.
you rock, Lila!! amazing vid as usual ❤
Terrific video, I enjoyed watching this, great tips I had never considered before. You are an inspiration. Thank you Lila
This is very helpful and useful. I’ll be using these tips
I'm relatively new to Premiere Pro and have been getting frustrated with so many tiny things that slow me down. This video covered a number of them. You're a life saver!
are you sure this was the video you meant to comment on hahaha
@@lilafromyoutube Ha! I had too many Lila how-to vids open at the same time. WHOOPS😅
Excellent stuff. Bravo!!!
The big let down at the end of shooting is real. Sometimes its reason enough to bring along anyone else to help. Even if its just to press record.
Truth!!
@@lilafromyoutube I might also use AI to help me learn voice over skills. Mmmm, yeah.
thx for the artlist... new horizons ✌
This video just blew my mind!
Wow, smart tips, above and beyond. thank you
Fantastic information here. Thank you so much for sharing your insights.
This was awesome, I'm super scared to try vlogging, but having a few tips to fall on helps immensely!
What are you most scared of? ♥️
@@lilafromyoutube Mostly, I know what I look like on camera :D it's fear of the unknown. I wrote a book, it's a good book, on how to stay safe in a digital world, and I want to promote it, and video is going to be part of that marketing strategy, so it's something I'm just going to have to get over. Any suggestions, links to videos you've done before on this?
This was solid. Loved the tips about manual focus and composition. Great stuff!
I’m glad 🙏🏻 p.s. don’t forget rules are meant to be broken
Hey, never seen you before but great job on this! Seriously. Really well put together, easy to watch (your voice is great, btw), great tips, super helpful. Nice work!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for keeping it simple whilst covering so much detail. Excellent video!
I primarily shoot myself and autofocus is the greatest challenge. Appreciate your tips about manual focus as I’ll be giving that a try more consistently.
let me know how you like manual focus!
This is such a great video. I really appreciate that you're teaching how to film yourself while you're actually filming yourself and really landing it. I've always found your explainers helpful, but this has layers - focus and framing, yes, but you're knocking the visual storytelling out of the park! Thanks for making this. It's inspiring.
I really really appreciate this 🙏🏻 thank you! I underestimated how hard filming yourself filming yourself was gonna be hahahaha
Idk why this popped on my feed but I love it
🙏🏻🙏🏻
My God! You are a one person film making powerhouse. Even gave me that feeling of "what's my excuse?"
ohhh thank you!! And.. what is your excuse?
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently creating at work safety videos and I never thought about generating the voice over first and then shoot the shots. I always get frustrated because i need to adjust the voice overs, because I don’t have enough video footage. Doing the voice over first will help me a lot. Thank you!!
It’ll help a lot!!
Hi Lila, thank you so much for this helpful video! Your tips on how to film oneself are really practical and easy to follow. Especially for someone who has no idea how to start, this has been incredibly useful. I appreciated your recommendations on camera angles. They make a huge difference! Can't wait to try these techniques in my own videos. Keep up the great work!
Life experiences. this is what its all aboute , nice work Lila. ty
This was super helpful! Would definitely love to see an editing video too!
Saw you a few years ago when I was getting started, your English has drastically improved. Goed gedaan!
The tip about manual focus is gold!
I’ll be trying the AI voiceover, but the Creator app is gonna be a huge help. Awesome video
Lemme know how you like both!
Nice to see you used a decent motor in the video when did you join the Land Rover club - we love them and have had various ones over the years settling for our 2 Discoveries now - cracking video Lila !
I love my velar! It’s been a dream come true to finally be part of the Land Rover club!
@@lilafromyoutube you'll never go back either 😉 we had a Velar and they are awesome but not big enough for us with the dogs and horses plus it gets very dirty and a Velar should be clean 🪥
Haha I clean it so often! It’s such a beast. I hope I’ll be able to afford it forever because I love Land Rover. Thanks for welcoming me to the club haha
Very good video. I enjoyed watching it!
Great video!! I will definitely be implementing these tips :) as a beginner who is learning how to shoot alone!
You got this ♥️
What a phenomenal video! I too find the song first, gets the creativity flowing!
Very much deserved external validation right here
🫶🏻
Awesome content. Love your videography approach. Thanks.
Thanks a bunch for this!!! :D
These are excellent tips! I film solo hiking, which can be quite challenging. I love that you mentioned using a storyboard-I recently started doing that, and it has saved me so much time!
oh that’s definitely challenging! A storyboard or shot list is a must. Definitely pin a little note with all the shots you gotta take (establishing, wide, medium, close up etc) as a little checklist.
Here's some external validation for you. Thank you for this insightful video! ❤
Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Definitely had to subscribe nun of these other filmmakers channels I been has ever been this entertaining and educational as this video right here
Aw thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
For manual focus I like to use spot autofocus by pressing button on camera, It focuses where I need it, and then it switches to manual focus so It doesn't search the next thing where to focus.
Love it!
Fantastic video Lila as always, I haven’t posted a decent video in almost a year, trying to get back to it with a vlog and this video has given me the motivation I needed.
Wow!!! What a nice video!! You are so cool, sweet and funny together! Love your tips and your videos are so good and full of inspiration! Thanks and greetings from Berlin! 😍☀🙌
Consider yourself validated externally, my friend! Fantastic presentation on what COULD be (but isn't thanks to you) a very boring topic! Much love for what you do and bring to the table for all of us!
Ha!! Thank you 💕
Great tutorial. Lots of practical tips
Lila, you are always such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video... I never thought to put something in shot to manual focus on before 🙈
You make it all seem so easy that I want to have a go. Just need to find the time…
… and learn the skills.
If I can film myself filming myself, you can absolutely film yourself! Make the time to learn the skills haha 🫶🏻
I use APPLE notes on my i phone to write my shot list If I am scouting on location for the pre-shoot I use APPLE notes to take photos of the various sets and locations and even angles I'll want, I'll mark the photos and add "notes" to the shot list within APPLE Notes. Of course, this eats up your storage if you're on a limited icloud plan so you'll likely have to purge the photos once you've shot your film
I just found you and feel like Im about to learn ALL the knowledge
Great video and awesome tips! Thanks for sharing an all the hard work you went through. Btw rocking the docs!!
Hi, I'm here to give you a lot of external validation... or another way of putting... loved your video!
Omg! I love the manual focus advice! Brilliant! 😮
You've given me a lot of ideas 🥲
Lets go!!
The transition to the actual footage was so good👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing tips! Thanks 🙏
Great video and awesome tips, thank you 🌻
I’m glad! 😊
I love the fact that you have this very clean english accent and you move the hands like am Italian! 😀 (source: I am Italian).
hahaha 🤌🏻 I’m an expressive talker
Yes!!! Thank you for this!!!! I asked on your other video for more details on shooting by myself and how to keep things in focus and what settings (aperture priority? Full manual? Full auto?) to use, keeping in frame, etc
I set it in full manual :) so no auto white balance, iso or shutter speed.
Very inspiring! Will definitely be implementing these tips into my video making journey. I’m a beginner and am definitely subscribing! Thank you!
Fantastic channel Lila!! this was my first video and it was very helpful so thank you!
Hi! I am glad I found your channel today. You are very well spoken and a delight to watch. Just trying to get my first video organized and shot myself. Very overwhelming! This video helped me. Thank you and have a great day!!
Aw thanks! if there's anything in particular you'd like to see a video about, feel free to share it.
Liked, subscribed and leaving a comment to say this was helpful and inspiring, thank you!!
