6 Easy Ways to Film Yourself AND Still Look Cinematic

[@tristannich7715]

This is definitely a sign for me to start cause the idea of making short films or making anything on my own was floating in my head. But I always chickened out. Brilliant video. Thank you.

[@nokill5784]

saaaame here I had a ptoject last semester to shoot an advertising and since then I love film making more than my major I may be able to connect these 2 tho

[@2model1]

me too i have a film in my head lol need a boost to start

[@thedevo01]

Did you start?😊

[@InternetCity]

This had sorta a nostalgia feel to it. Can’t explain it. Great job!

[@boomcrayon]

Yeah it took me back to early days of youtube indie filmmaking content - like indie mogul fan kids who get into diy vfx/practical effects and stuff

[@jeppyxderudar]

IKR!

[@ART.ALEXYS]

blown away by how i never thought the talking to yourself shot was SO simple-- as simple as a stack and crop---

[@lagoticaculona]

Right! I always wondered how they did it

[@TamaraChaos]

My problem with that is I never have anything to say. 😄 But in my videos I do do something similar.

[@zeemdotexe]

It is very simple but you gotta make sure the lighting stays consistent. Natural light tends to change and it can ruin the shot 🙌🏻

[@Pmccaff2009]

How does this shock anybody?

[@prcr364]

@@Pmccaff2009 Not sure, guess some people just gloss over it. I’m sure there’s something blaring obvious that I’m amazed by that I’ve never put much thought into.

[@alvideos2145]

And if your character does a drug, or gets hit on the head, or has a dream, or feels overwhelmed, you can back up while holding the camera and zoom in at the same time ( it creates a really cool effect ) . Also, if you are ever turning/panning a camera on a pedestal, use a rubber-band to turn it, it smooths it out and gets rid of the jerky-motion.

[@albeeshobbies]

I love your string on the slider trick, looks smooth and professional. Also, lights placement plays a major role in making your films look cinematic.

[@originalni_popisovac]

no u dont u just like it

[@clarisse_spence]

May I ask what did you use to pull the string?

[@justgidz]

I’ve been thinking of making my own projects of filming myself and this couldn’t have come at a better time. This is great!

[@nuttyboy915]

Ive never done a single ounce of cinematography in my life, but seeing your vid from recommendations definitely did me wonders. Every trick you used here was AMAZING. You're a genius 0:39 Looks like a genuine scene from an old 80s movie

[@saraih776]

hahah i thought the same thing for that 0:39 seconds! lol

[@IAmYes.]

fr, my exact thoughts!

[@fabricofdreams.]

Could be the Breakfast Club lmao

[@biasedice6339]

i think it's also their hair.

[@biasedice6339]

i mean obviously their hair doesn't play a big part in it but i feel like it plays some part in how it looks. idk :3

[@Paskoalee]

Impressive. Judging by your skills, the 90's aesthetic of this video was definitely on purpose. At least, it gives me the impression that this wasn't filmed in 2021, or even this century. The tips are top notch as well. Congrats, man.

[@franfran1408]

It's giving 2000s indie film vibes for me

[@casluvs]

@@franfran1408 YES

[@fearlesspie1314]

It’s like this because of the quality of camera

[@johnnyc.5979]

And his 80's haircut made it even more convincing.

[@noahfletcher3019]

​@@fearlesspie1314not true. It's like that because of the lens and color grading and effects

[@Oloraonoa]

The room, the music, all feels very British. In any of those shots I was expecting Jason Statham to pop out and ask you to go with him to rob a local mafia boss. Really nice!

[@justinkessen3169]

The color grading gives 90s teen movie vibes, what camera and lens did you use?

[@TheBanjoShowOfficial]

I literally did the talking to myself trick once for a school project, I masked one half of the video and overlayed it to the other one and interviewed myself on a college homework assignment. Professor thought I had a twin.

[@cateye9922]

With tip five (pt 2), I've done it so many times but it's always a gamble for me because the lighting between the two clips is often different, so the split is pretty obvious :( I try to film with minimal times between the videos, don't change anything in the background, and film inside without any natural light interfering as much as I can, but the lighting is always inexplicably different >:/

[@JustMe-qs2xy]

Were there times where it looked good & natural ?

[@DatVex]

flim in the same spot as you flimed the first shot and then go to your editor invert it to make it point the other way.

did you use any color grading in this video or this is how your room's lightinf actually looks? because it's the ambience i always wanted to achieve but could never

a little note book and a timer to give yourself cues so you answer yourself at the right timing to not cut yourself or have a live Tv delay if you got the skill a custom lo-fi music can also really step up if some movement or action follow the beats if conversation is a monologue, you can cut a silhouette on black construction paper and play on the focus to have the same over-shoulder conversation shot but alot come from editing so dacinvi resolve is indeed a good pick
