This turned out sooo good! I always love seeing the overlap of clips we use in the final product 🤗 thanks so much for chilling with me in Long Beach! Just one of 3 full days of shooting 🤙 And I learned a ton watching you capture your own broll. Have already implemented several of these tips in the weeks since we shot together. Can't wait to meetup again in Denver!
Likewise Alex! Learned a TON filming with you, thanks so much for hanging in Long Beach! Can't wait for the Denver session next!! 🍻
Hey Alex is that self view viewfinder an attachment or mod to your sony?
Alex Gasaway thank you, I left a question in comments about your rig at 3:58. Really appreciate your talent and sharing it. Respect ✊
Jake Frew thank you Jake. So glad I discovered you this morning. Grateful. Trying to decide if I should get a Sony a 7S or stick with my Canon lenses I sold my 5D because it didn’t have auto focus. I really want to flip da screen
Alex Gasaway I like the part @ 4:00-4:30 min, I’m going to try that and I also like that jake has the same camera and mic I have ..... well I used to have 😐
If you are reading this, this is your sign that your RUclips will be successful. Don’t give up please! Love 💕
i hope soooo
Yakaira Acosta you got this ♥️
love the positive message... thank you Kate
Thankyou 💗
THANKS Kate 💞🥺
I hope you too find success in whatever you want ✨
How to film yourself solo. With someone else
Lol
LOL
hahahaha
So annoying LOL
so true!
"B roll should drive your story." Thats a pro tip i'll never forget.
What did you get out of the b roll phrase. I’m new to this =(
Fredo Rami so my friend, I did some research as I too am new to this. Broll is all the stuff that would not ordinarily make it to form the main story (Aroll), the B roll adds more real emotion, experiences that seem to be less scripted. Hope that helps.
This is just what I needed. I'm totally solo in my high school projects and this was helpful and encouraging too!
I'm so glad to hear that!! You got this! 🤘🤘
The Hybrid check me out
I hope you do well!! Pursue your goals!
I hope that it went awesome
This video is incredible! You pinpointed the static shots and zooming in tips perfectly. Thanks so much!! As a youtuber I definitely needed to see this video because I sometimes film alone as well and needed something extra to add more life to the videos I shoot.
Even though I don't like to inject myself into whats supposed to be stories I tell about other people, this is great advice for just generic b-roll and directing subjects. Establishing shots especially are super important.
Solid Tips! Thanks for the advice. I struggle finding people around me that are into this lifestyle. So learning how to be better solo is invaluable.
Same
I love seeing two creators get together and hang out and film!! It's my dream to find like-minded people who want to just go out and film all day. This was also SUPER helpful b/c I'm usually either flying solo or trying not to drive my bf nuts asking him to film with me :)
Sometimes I feel kind of stupid walking around and recording. I wish I was brave enough to record myself without worrying about the people around 😅
JUST DO IT, I've filmed once or twice alone and even with my brothers and I've felt it and they've told me too how you just feel awkward filming yourself but it's worth it, trust me... whoever sees you would approve if they knew what beautiful creation you were making
Same
Just think about how you feel when you see someone filming themselves. You look at them for two seconds and carry on with ur day. No one cares 🤷♂️ that’s how I got over my fear of filming myself in public
Same lol
Thank you so much for making this. As an introvert that has taken up RUclips it's even hard to let myself go and be filmed when I do have the chance to work with a friend, so I'm definitely going to try this out.
The way you convey emotion through your shots is amazing, I always find myself smiling and laughing and feeling like I'm in the shot with you
Oh man that's such a huge compliment, I'm so stoked to hear that!! Thank you Chloe!!
"making them understand where you are or what you're doing." simple and so true
Thanks for the video, good advice!
I find one of ur comments almost in every filmmakers comment section i follow😂😅
Chào anh Phúc Mập !
Great video! Was struggling on feeing “awkward” walking back and forth multiple times for myself when we ask others to do it all the time! Earned yourself a subscriber.
Man I've spent months watching people on RUclips explain this. You have a talent for visually expressing exactly what you are trying to explain simultaneously on screen. I'll be using your channel to shoot some music short films. Thanks for the tips!
This was actually really helpful! I feel like sometimes I get stuck in getting the same style of shots and watching your content it has me thinking of different angles I can try. Thank you
SUPER helpful, I film by myself constantly and always feel like I "can't" do something when clearly that's wrong
Kai were very lucky to have such a great community in film to help us be better huh! You’re doing awesome yourself! Keep it up
Great video! One thing that makes b-roll interesting is having a human subject. If no one else is around, like if you’re out camping alone or something, these tips make it really simple to still create engaging content 👍
I’m always filming alone, so this is SO helpful. 🔥
Proud honored and thrilled to say - Jake Frew has, at one point, filmed my ankles.
😂😂😂
I can't deny that.
I left camera on the ground and started filming myself. i was 30 metre away and Somebody took my camera. 😣
ouch, man i feel bad, hope you get your camera back somehow
Don't ever abandon your equipment. Unless you have a tracking fob on it, it's not worth it. Why didn't you make sure there weren't any people around or make sure it's well hidden, like in a tree? If you desperately need to shoot yourself, someone I know recommends hiding a go-pro in a brown paper bag with a hole cut out & place it off to the side, never directly in the middle of a road where people will gravitate to kicking it or picking it up to throw out. But even this I'd be hesitant to do. Imo an invisible selfie stick that is extendable can be held at your hip & extended out behind you as you're walking. The handle looks invisible and won't show up on camera, so it'll look like someone else is recording you. Combine it with a wide-angle lens and you'll appear even further away. Another possibility is to tape it on a skateboard behind you and pull it with a green cord. In post, you can edit out the cord and it'll look like a tracking shot. You'll need a steady surface for this to work. I also suggest using a mini drone that you control by remote. Of course, the battery on these don't last very long, so if you need to get a shot of you walking, then make sure there aren't any obstacles and that you have enough time to turn around & catch it before it drains. My last suggestion is to use a moving luggage case. These are expensive, but worth having if you're solo. You can get great airport B-roll for whenever you arrive at a destination and have the luggage follow you. However, I've seen travel videos where the camera never leaves the hand of the producer and I've never felt like it affected quality. The best videos aren't the ones that have good b-roll, they're the ones that tell a great story. There's no story if you lose your equipment. And as a narrator, you can't give us a genuine experience if your trip is too stressful (or you're too busy filming) to enjoy it. People do still watch amateur videos & these channels have high subscriber counts, bc these vlogs focus on providing great content instead of fancy visuals. Don't bother with fancy camera work if your videos end up being all style & no substance.
@@YourMajesty143 Thanks for all these tips. I'll add that some cameras allow for wireless control of the shutter, so you can start filming by pushing a button on your cellphone. My Canon XC10 can do that.
Guys welcome to Kilimanjaro mountain am sure you will enjoy it follow me at saiddhahabu4@gmail.com will get good video than that🦓
Never seen your videos before- but I really appreciate you sharing these tips. I don’t see many creators sharing these many pro tips, usually they are pretty empty - but these are really valuable. Props for giving away some secrets
This really helps as I film a lot of my footage by myself so I find it difficult. Been studying how to tell better stories and this really helps me with that
Some good points, nice to see you mention adding the motion when editing, I use this ALL the time. Started mainly doing it in post production as it would always be smoother than doing it manually.
Just getting into filming on youtube and haven't really got anyone that can help me film so these are some really great tips! Thanks a lot ❤️
This is my JAM! 💥 I am using my quarantine time to learn to be a better-reluctant, but emerging-videographer. This solves one of my biggest issues. Thanks! 🙌🏾😎
Brilliant tips Jake I'll definitely take everything on board, cheers
Really awesome and insightful video, thank you for this! Love that this video provided framework and structure for solo vlogging so you're not just out being a nervous, hot mess hahaha. Can't wait to implement these tips!
Ahh I'm so glad to hear it was helpful for you!! Thanks so much for the kind words 😭🙏
These tips are great. I definitely think the part that I need to remember is filming more than just the one action from an angle. Gotta work on setting up the camera and doing like 5 different things so I can have plenty of shots to work with. Great video!
Totally!! I have a hard time remembering that every time but I'm always so glad whenever I do it! Thanks for the kind words Ben! 🙏
Hey dude I discovered you a few months back & been watching some of your older videos. Love the advice and your film style, keep crushing it man!
What a great video to someone new trying to create solo B-Roll. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thats actually a really nice alley lol
Also this video is literally so good! It’s so helpful to oily out the things we normally see in vlogs but can’t necessarily point out on our own because we’re less experienced. Thank You guys!
I love this tutorial Jake, it had some excellent tips! I am a solo traveller and it is challenging when vlogging at times - but like everyone, I do my best.
I looked at your catalogue and had to subscribe, you have some interesting topics I am sure will help me. Safe and happy travels to you 🙏
Thank you so much for these tips, their will help so much when i'm making and creating my stories next year - You have made me feel more confident 😌👍
I need to learn a lot. I've been struggling for long time, because no one share my same passion, so I need to film everything my self. I'm glad I found this video. I appreciate a lot that you shared this. Thank you, and you deserve the world and to be successful. 🙏🙏🙏
this video is great 👍
Some great tips Jake there. Love the energy in your films... not overbearing... just right!
Thanks so much Neale!! I'm super glad to hear that, means a ton!
this video came in to my timeline few times before but never watched it full (i think i played it one time but never finished). today i did and i regret not watching it before. awesome video!!! subed off coarse!!
This is such good, entertaining, to the point video.
I was vlogging while watching this and already put these tips to use.
And why are you 2 such adorable individuals??!
Alex and Jake, thanks a million. I’m a Pastor at a small congregation-I enjoy tech, don’t have the time for in-depth filming but realize we MUST start somewhere until “you” show-up to help us! (smile...) This posting helps me considerably because I really want to engage filming for our church in 2020...filming multiple angles and establishing the location context really helps me. We have standard and handheld tripods and extra iPhone, but I think we will do a camera to start. Happy new year and be well. Blessings.😉👍🏾
great video guys
Thank you so much for this video! I learnt a lot and will surely try to use it in the future
I’ve never learned so many tips from one video! I’m a solo traveler and this will help me greatly on my next adventures! Thanks so much for sharing!
ah that zooming tip was priceless!
Ohhhh! Would definitely be interesting in seeing how you add motion to a still shot!
That keyframe tip is EVERYTHING. Thank you so much!
Thanks I always film
By
Myself here in Japan , I don’t have as many mates to call out. Your first tip really hit home.

That larger focal large for self b-roll tip was fire.
Damn man, sometimes I'm struggling to create a story because I feel like I don't have enough shots, but these thips will help a ton man! Been binging on your channel a lot lately and can really relate to your style of telling stories and making videos! Keep it up bro!
Your intro...I see what you did there! 😂 Brilliant 😂
😂🙏
I love camera.I wish I could buy a good one Camera ❤️
Great tips. Thanks for sharing. It looks like you two had a lot of fun filming that. I caught myself smiling more than once with you guys just goofing around and capturing different segments. Well done from your newest subscriber. I'm off to check out Alex's channel now. Well done.
KILLER VIDEO JAKE! Love the aesthetic and vibe of all your videos my man! Keep on crushing it 🤙🏼
The thing that's making me unmotivated about everything is that I live in Finland where it rains and where it's always dark and cold.
I live in Murmansk and it is also dark and cold. It's really difficult to make content
My mother will go back to Philippines on the 6th from Finland. Good to see your comment here. I am a follower of bushcraft youtuber (some) just to give you a possible idea/content.
where i live !!
only few ones can shoot in public places :'(
It’s dark and cold here too but you can capture some amazing things in that environment! Unless you hate going out in it haha
you can always film the rain, the trees, the people... basically everything with a dark moody setting :D
Hi, just trying to expand my knowledge. What exactly is b-rolling?
B Roll is the secondary footage you put in between the main shots
Daniel ah, okay! I appreciate it!
FANTASTIC tips! I’ll be watching this one a few times and using what I’ve learned here for some shooting tomorrow! THANKS!
You man are going to be so big one day it is absolutely insane. There is just an incredible amount of talent man. Great job and stay at it!
nah, you can tell that these shots are static. tips on how to shoot b roll is dont leave it on a tri pod. certainly dont set a expensive camera down then turn your back away to walk away so you can walk toward it. i know people who have had there camera taken straight from there hands in cities so i certainly wouldnt put it down then walk away someone can easily snatch it, you dont think it will happen or it will happen to you but trust me it will..
SharpStudios0 right? I always have that worry and wonder who they can even set the tripod there to walk pass it...
Man. I remember when I lived in that much fear.. Havent looked back...
I guess someone's gonna complain no matter what you do.
Fear not! Seriously - no need to be scared of the world.
Being a solo filmer this was the MVP drop of 2k19! Like and sub bro!
good stuff Jake! Well done. Love the vibe, edit, and luts. Good work.
I love these tips! I didn’t think about filming myself from different perspectives in the same spot, thank you!!
bro every time i watch one of your videos, my stess level just decreases so much
Oh man. That is the best compliment ever 😭I'm so glad to hear they have that effect!!
@@JakeFrew Heck yea man, keep up the great work👌💕
#NoStess
Hell, I was reading your as "Fake Jew" 😂
I v told to my self what weird YT name, than I v read that again 🤣
😂😂😂😂
I seen you video and had to watch as I film by self in some remote locations and picked up a couple of ideas , thanks heaps guys 👊
Thank you for the keyframing tip! It will be helpful for me when I make my own short film by myself.
Just the tips I needed-- I feel confident I can capture some solo b-roll that looks pretty okay haha just subbed. I'm excited to see more of your content!
This was so helpful!! Thank you for sharing the knowledge y'all, it is greatly appreciated!
