How to FILM YOURSELF | Creative Solo Cinematic B-ROLL Video

Anyone want to see an editing breakdown of this sequence? 🤔👊🏻💥 EDIT: Editing breakdown 👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGqlkqd3jNhgmNE

[@renatdcosta9218]

Yes, Indeed @Joris Hermans 😀✌👍

[@khanshahidfox]

Definitely

[@paulcain548]

Absolutely 👍🏻

[@yeseniacarrero1760]

Yes!!

[@AARON_McKenzie]

Yes!! Please

[@gvnrchmnd]

The wide medium close for each scene was a real gem of a tip.

[@allworld_360]

Joris, I really like that you teach people the classical laws of cinema in simple words and pass on your experience to newcomers like me.

[@KathySierraVideo]

Omg I love this video! I’ve been so unmotivated to make video as a solo (and novice) shooter (I was always happy *behind* the camera, but I no longer have anyone else to shoot ). This really helps! And I absolutely love your final result… the way you edited the sequence of the bike falling 🔥🤗

[@kaptainkendrick4052]

Ah we in the same boat my friend!

[@tefskiidagod]

That’s been me 🥹

[@UberBman]

He’s been burying a body in the forest folks, this video is just his attempt at an alibi. Don’t fall for the shenanigans.

[@humbawa2002]

Bro is kind of people who believe editing 😂

[@proudtitanicdenier4300]

[@wiredtwirp]

😂 Quality

[@kesa.chandra]

Love how you describe the way you want to make the video and the 3 types of shot angles that we should have to get more scenes to edit is incredible!

[@Romualdomgn84]

Thank you for sharing your experience. 45 seconds - B-roll length 9000 seconds - shooting time (2.5 hours) xxx seconds - editing -------- Total less than 0.5% efficiency. Viewers must appreciate each b-roll and every video on KZbin, as creators consume insane amount of time for shooting and editing their videos, which people even do not bother to click "Like" button.

[@deananthonyharding7212]

infinity focus? auto focus? manual focus?

[@dianewolf-latham3766]

Uhm... definitely hats off to the amount of time and energy it took to film this how to video! I am learning little bits, pieces and ideas to use in my own solo video creations from having watched this. I also learned in watching this video: Filming solo requires a good deal of setting up, having multiple cameras is key, semi planning, a ton of hoping it will all work when said and done... In addition, I have also learned I have no interest in investing this much time and energy into filming and editing. Thus am now in search of hiring someone who loves this particular art form, has the cameras, has the time, experience and energy for filming while I create the audio content... this is a wonderful video, a pleasure to watch, great insight... strongly suggest it to those who have the time to invest as a solo content video creator... strongly suggest to those who want to specialize in filming for those of us who need to have great videos to go with our content!

[@bjurruntien]

I always love watching your videos! educational and very fun to watch. I just started a video producer course last week. Today we literally discussed this type of workflow, gathering as much different shots as possible from a prediscribed idea. I'll make sure to share this with the group 😃 Spreading the word! Or the video....whatever haha

[@HarmonicWave]

This was amazingly helpful and concise, a lot of great tips and ideas in under 10 minutes! And I love that ending where you pound the desk to start the outro music. Good stuff.

[@TentoesMe]

Thanks, Joris! I am the only subject I have, so I make lots of self videos. I use the upside down camera shot of feet (always bare) often. Love the sun peeking behind the tree shot. I also use a drone, sometimes a ways off the path and tracking me. Not much inspired to go out and shoot because I just sprained my ankle at work.👣😵

[@LuisCruz-yg6rs]

I like your simplistic approach when it came to teach us how to make this type of great DIY videos.

[@arnisbrown5848]

This made me especially happy since I do all my shooting these days on my bicycle. A1!

[@DroneFitArbab]

Definitely learned some cool moves! Thanks @Joris!

[@iamfrancinegonzales]

Such a beautiful cinematic b roll! Thanks for the tips!!! 😍❤️🥰

[@WagonPilotAdventures]

A solid workflow is what I often lack while on location. Definitely need to put more time into that aspect.

[@pix4japan]

Thank you! Found these tips to be useful. I never know what I’m going to see or be able to shoot, so a storyboard might be difficult. I have a gimbal, but will try attaching it to my camera tripod for shots of feet and my dog!

[@Suparnadatta318]

Thanks buddy, you showed the behind the scenes , which many don't show, it helped to pearn the process practically, thanks again

[@richardbradshaw]

Great video! It looked like a lot of work, but the finished product was so worth it.

[@berhanarisoy]

Perfect result

[@maeduss]

OMG tysm! I got actual ideas from this… God bless you!

[@MyLifeShortFilms]

[@Emiliotakas]

[@davidleiper1]

That is a fantastic sequence and great advice- thank you!

[@kdj7904]

When the bike fell on the camera, my heart dropped for a moment. But I applaud the amazing final result.

[@rubikscube7686]

Your great sir, thanks for the idea

[@W0KNI]

Awesome job Joris! Thank you.

[@LukeGeeTravels]

Great video and really awesome tips! When I travel and want to explore a new area, I prefer to enjoy the moment rather than stop to set up all these shots, that is why my preferred method is more vlog style with some b Roll to show off the area. Amazing job though!

[@Wanderwithvickers]

Super helpful, I've been looking for this video! Love your style of explaining 😍👏

[@EngrTiger13]

wow this video triggers me to work harder.. im so excited to make my own cinematic videos after watching this. thank you very much sir.
