How to Film Yourself | The Making of AVA (Solo Filmmaking Tips)

In this video, I pull back the curtain to reveal how I single-handedly created 'AVA', a sci-fi short film, with no crew - just one man, his camera, and a compelling story to tell.
The 3 films made by myself:
• Sci-Fi Short Film abou...
• The Devil Made Me Do I...
• The Matrix Resurrected...

What would be a film you’d make by yourself?

[@e-radfilms]

interesting video. I've not thought much about making anything alone.

[@theloverevolutionnetwork424]

I would love to and plan to in the future... The problem is I'm struggling with concept limited to only one character. Hats off to you Sir!

[@e-radfilms]

@@theloverevolutionnetwork424 subbed your channel. I saw a UK home tour video and 2 chairs. had an idea that you could do something with you interviewing yourself?

[@theloverevolutionnetwork424]

@e-radfilms Just been watching your content and also subbed to your channel. I love the "Tommy's Top Ten" concept. Catchy and interesting. Not sure how u came up with the interviewing yourself idea but it really has me thinking...

[@theloverevolutionnetwork424]

@e-radfilms Canned surprise is great, well-shot and nicely put together. I want to do something simple just to wet my feet and get started. I got a Sony A7iii and one prime lense 35mm GM f1.4 recently... Now I've just watched Hunted. By far my favourite. This is what I aspire to do, hats of to ya!
