EASY Creative Tips for Filming Yourself !

[@karmatraining]

The hidden benefit of filming by yourself is that you can be 100% in control and do everything exactly the way you want - you don't have to compromise your vision in any way or be shy or nervous about what others might think. You can be as creative as you like.

[@Cotti2Times]

I was talking to myself about this exact thing. And then I see this, YOU GET IT ❤

[@jessicaceniceros2004]

Absolutely agree!

[@44mardo44]

I shoot all my music videos on my page

[@abstraktfilms]

yessir. That moment where you start second guessing to try to be respectful of everyone's time... is the moment you lose that flow

[@gtzentertainmentz9715]

🖤🖤

[@Steezysterling]

That’s crazy the intro looks like the movie moonlight

[@ruffprophetproductions]

Came to say the same thing. I yelled at my phone “OK MOONLIGHT” lol

[@ArchiesLens]

Right!?

[@WhereToFind]

That’s what he was going for

[@wefeproductions]

How did u do the moonlight look? I have been trying to do it also on pr.

[@AndyGray157]

​@@wefeproductions You managed to do it, yet?

[@theodorebridgman1401]

Appreciate you boss. Even in this video there are layers -- learning the patience to shoot at the right time + the color grade + the tripod + the POV shots + the forethought to take a decent mic on your trip so you can have good audio. In isolation, easy to talk about. Hard to do everything at once. When I first found your channel a few years ago I initially liked the fact that your advice was very unpretentious -- "the good gear is the gear that gets you out and shooting" -- but it's obvious that after putting in hours of experimentation you've arrived at a place of quality that way more over-equipped photographers might have initially pay-to-played their way into, and with a degree of honesty and organic style that they lack. Bit buzzed right now so that's more of an essay than I intended, but I hope it's uplifting/helpful so I'm leaving it

[@vuhlandes]

Love brotha. Thank you. I appreciate the words. Hope you’re having a great Sunday night

[@celebreacts101]

This made me feel better and get out of my "depressive state". I'd feel bad because I had no one to help me bring to life a video I envisioned. But this just put a smile on my face and ideas in my head. Thank You So Much Vuhlandes. I'm very thankful.🙏🙏

[@jotansun4357]

It is your time! You are using it on yourself. What is there not to love about self appreciation? And developing a skill

[@brittoffthebeaten]

As a solo traveler hoping to improve my cinematography to tell the stories that I want to tell, thank you! Also it was the “but you don’t have any friends” for me 😅

[@trin9394]

Subscribing to see what you do with this!

[@Roxy-Blue]

How can I use this Song for my videos without copyright?

[@jessimakaveli]

Can I travel with u pls😭😭

[@2AWKSICK]

I usually get shy filming by myself out in public bcos i hate when ppl staring when you got a camera or feel like someone is gonna jack my shit but i feel like thats stopping me from executing my ideas. This vid def helped me out to say fuck it and just go outside and shoot it, lesget it thanks Vuh!

[@BrandonBames]

Man I just found your channel, but you're getting exactly the look I've been after for a while. Very crisp and sharp but also rooted in a vintage aesthetic that doesn't seem tacky or overly done and completely works in the modern world. Very subtle. Taking note. Subbed.

[@SamKhanyile]

I am proud to say my content creation skills will skyrocket after watching this video. I am really looking for creative ways to film and this was just what I needed.

[@ThePranaPod]

That nigh shot being filmed during the day was absolutely INSANE!! Beautiful shot

[@karmatraining]

Tripod is so important. I got a super light one that I can shove in the side of my camera bag, and I got a massive camera bag that fits all my stuff. The beauty of this is that you can keep everything pre-assembled for quick filming on location.

[@ChainsTheChef888]

4:16 That sunset cove shot is amazing wow!!

[@dj_wilson]

Thank you for this! There's plenty of these "solo shooter tips" videos on here, but yours truly stands out in how you relate your decision making process around your shots and ideas. So much helpful insight in here. I'll be revisiting this one often as I get my channel/content going. Always love your stuff!

[@EveInTheMachine]

MAN, the intro absolutely blew me away! Stylistically it really reminds me of some french, new-wave art-house films where the craft becomes less of a movie and more of an *art.* I haven't seen anything that reminded me of that in a while! I *really* like it!

[@goldenbarbie39]

Thank you so much for those tips! The colour grading in this video is insane ! As always you did a great job and inspire us 🤗

[@FatTonyTheSkipper]

yeah the colour grading is amazing, how do I get that good haha

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Mate, that sunset cove shot! Wow. The colours, the comp, ah, I just love it. To you sir, I tip my hat.

[@phivanluong6870]

Man, I'm so glad I finally found a channel that go straight to the point, short and simple, easy to understand/executed . Thank you!

[@matias.montenegro]

the thing is how to you create those focus planes while filming doing the action... amazing

[@weeklyfascination]

Really enjoy your down to earth style. I film myself and I'm going to incorporate some of the tips you give here, especially over-shooting and getting multiple takes, including a wide angle and a close-up of the same thing. Thank you!

[@GALASO-h8l]

you're shooting and editing style is so emotive, so amazing man

[@milavictoria]

This was SO helpful. I work in film and I know it can take a village to get these shots. You'd never think you shot these all on your own (and post production! Impressive). Incredible tips. Thanks for sharing :)

[@R7w7c]

My new favorite KZbinr for real the composition was perfect I wanted to cry at the beginning

[@Andrii4312]

There is one more cool thing, but you will have to carry more stuff with you, it's slider that will add natural movement with parallax effect, which is much better than post-prod movement. Also gimbles like DJI and Zhiyn have tracking feauture, it can be used to create some interesting shots. Again, you will have to spend more time and carry with you more, but final shot can be worth it

[@ChesRivera]

Bro that shot of you walking in the garage and then seeing you open the rear door through the rearview mirror is PERFECT!

[@LosantoBeats]

Can you do one of those "Day to night" tutorial? Please!! Love the way you present info!

[@jonathanl7883]

One of the most underrated artist on KZbin, for a while now 🔥

[@SheldonPatten]

Superbowl what. They need to give Vuh the half time show for dropping all these gems. Motivation for when you feel down about not having someone to film for you. Legend

[@laurentbfree]

I really like the energy in your video. It's honest, humble and real. I respect that. Good advice.

[@lensofliane]

Your composition is amazing, with lighting and forethought about what time of day that will create a mood. Your leading lines are on point haha Thank you for the tips and inspiration! ✨

[@ronmedia5152]

Thanks for the information bro. I will definitely shoot my own film this weekend

[@jayjayjaythebrand]

Love how you are always taking limitations and turning them into opportunities. Keep the 🔥🔥 coming bro

[@caseliverman]

this gets me INSPIRED

[@clintonoshipitan7279]

Been watching for a couple years like 2020 and super pride of ur progression as photographer, filmmaker, and creative. Keep going and growing bro 👏🏿

[@gunnarbrakel6539]

dude that short scene at the carwash, the blue lights, reflections oh man that looked soo cool 👏👏

[@dirty90s]

Absolutely love these easy creative tips for filming yourself! As someone who's constantly creating content, it's refreshing to discover practical techniques to make my videos stand out. From utilizing interesting angles to incorporating props and backgrounds, each tip adds a unique touch to self-filmed footage. The advice on lighting and audio is especially helpful in achieving professional results. Thank you for sharing these valuable insights! 🎬✨ #CreativeFilmingTips

[@laitila2108]

5:42 i absolutely love this shot. So creative

[@compacoffeeroasters]

This video is so beautifully shot. Like I know you’re teaching how to do it but all of these clips you used- the composition and the colors go crazy. I had to pause and say something. Appreciate you for this

[@gabrielamutti]

I'm a Brazilian artist and I loved your video. Watching it inspired me to continue filming my life story

[@JakeKelsick]

This was an amazing video man. Real creative framing. Makes you want to go and and simply enjoy the art of documenting life. I always tent to rush when filming this was a sick reminder to try and slow down and enjoy them juicy life moments!

[@porsche205mph]

Your color theory is on point

[@scottmarshallphoto]

Great video! I completely agree that watching a talking head in front of their camera for an extended period of time is boring as hell. I love your creativity and understanding how to keep your audiences attention. Some of your shots remind me of some of the crazy angles that I saw when watching Breaking Bad. They loved to put the camera in weird places and it really catches your attention.

[@deenanabilseddik]

This video feels like a hug idk your videos literally carry emotions

[@JayneNicoletti]

Love your videos.Yes, a good tripod makes such a difference. Loving the 4x3 ratio.

[@RossPower7]

Need you to shoot a feature film, the cinematography in all your videos is always at a super high standard

[@Lifeonbooks]

I feel like we are kindred spirits with the way we make videos with epic intros, except we make videos about completely different topics. I want to buy your LUTs but I would love it if you could do a video breaking down your process from exposing and white balance, right through the coloring process and application the LUT. Keep up the great content!

[@brownliketheearth]

You handled that day to night shot! Immediately I thought of Moonlight

[@crusterbuster7425]

Awesome work man. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Now I gotta go spend some money on a good tripod and play around with filming myself! Thank you

[@selenahutchins]

You're really about to help me that next step to film myself.

[@primo6687]

Thank you for giving me the will to create and be creative again!

[@BJJBalance]

For what it’s worth, your coloring is breathtaking. I mean that. I aspire to have the creative eye that you’ve clearly developed. This video hit hard for me. I know that I need to plan shots and shot with a purpose/goal. Every time I shoot without a purpose, I regret it. I hit a creative wall and it bothers me. I get anxious and I just go home. This was a re,under that I didn’t know that I needed to hear. So for that, I say thank you.

[@dameanvil]

[@dr.beaulab]

making films > making friends

[@dyce3008]

I really like what you do with colours and dynamic range in your post processing.

[@ekphotography]

Another great one, Just wondering if you are ever worried about someone stealing your gear or camera, I notice in many shots you are pretty far away.. I bet that goes through your mind many times, specially these days.

[@smashatem-shan.b]

Gotta know your surroundings fam 💯

[@CormacHarry]

Yo😂​@@smashatem-shan.b

[@leah_sull]

That opening gave me chills! better quality than most movies i watch. Thanks for sharing these tips

[@SmokeDaJitt]

Great video! As a musician, content creator, etc that does everything pretty much solo this has helped me tremendously. Stay up brudda frfr

[@Azzouzillustrations]

V I’ve been following your Instagram for the longest time and your work has always been inspiring and touches the soul. Keep working and doing your thing

[@seanmbranch]

I love that you aren't afraid of colors.

[@zionglover2473]

bro. the color gradient is jsut unequivocally impeccable.😳bravo

[@CURSED_MELT]

1:43 I feel you bro haha

[@TRUETV614]

Great film work. At my age to be inspired by a youngster is inspiring itself.

[@jeffreyzie]

Had to press pause and comment…this intro, the colors, the angles: this is all fucking next level bro.

[@shootingbysal]

moonlight ass cinematography made me subscribe instantly. that aspect ratio too just 👌

[@lotusmelody8579]

This music is wonderfully relaxing. I can easily switch off from everyday life I enjoy the peace and quiet around me and only listen to this great melody Thank you for this wonderful moment of relaxation

[@hellothere8347]

I be so nervous about taking my tripod out in public but I’m over that I’m ready to really bring my ideas to life

[@sheiladeniset8034]

I’m addicted to your tutorials…Great job as always! 👏🏾

[@MemesHub42069]

I got a USB loaded with a ton of LUTs when bought my Desview R7s3 monitor. The day to night lut is amazing!

[@TheolympienYT]

Your style is truly a delight for the eyes, very inspirational! You've got a new subscriber

[@fabianrayowens3109]

that first shot was everything

[@hesmakesmusic]

That shot from the back of the car in the parking lot, not only showing you walking toward it but also the rear view mirror of you loading the trunk…. 🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿 Chef’s kiss, my brother, I loved that. Keep doing your thing and thanks for the inspiration. I’ve been low on it for this exact reason of having to film on my own, but this helps my energy a lot, think ima get back into it. 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@eightytwoo]

i love your use of reflection and mirrors and shit of that matter. super sick dude

[@stephanierroman272]

I’m only half way through the video and I already appreciate so much your recommendations! Gratitude

[@mikefarrell-Gonzo]

Colour and vintage feel is awesome job Aspect ratio also Love it

[@daryllbphotography]

Maaaate that shot with the car mirrors where you go from in camera to in the reflection 👏

[@JustRik504]

10:42 the car wash scene the best one to me..... bih glowing idk you make me want to go get a trim pod within this video feel like I watched a whole music video no lie

[@aelbiltagi]

Apart of his creativity which is impressive. This man should make a book of composition. Piece of art 🙌🏼

[@Since2008_]

you should do a video breaking down the edit for the "day for night" shot!

[@nathanjames__]

4:10 This shot looks like something out of a Golf Le Fleur ad

[@thatwholemess7805]

I wanted to give up on making my own videos because it’s something that I just started and couldn’t find any of my friends to jump on board with me and help with filming. After watching your struggles with the same issues, it gave me a new lifting do over. That Whole Mess! Thanks 🙏 Thanks a lot yo

[@DANAMIONLINE]

Peace, Vuhlandes! One of the things that always drew me to your channel is your experience growing up in Detroit. Having been born and raised I resonate with your creative journey in the D. Continue crafting your art brother.

[@ilonalaurag]

LOVE LOVE the tips and how you provide examples as you go- it's so underrated but I think the most important one is being patient... sometimes we want to shoot something in a very specific way and it might mean we have to wait to get it right :)

[@alo_janchi]

About "overshooting", I recommend editing right away. Put your script on the timeline, replacing the text with clips as you shoot. Planning is 90% of it :) it's what really helped me focus on the shoot, not worrying if I missed something

[@CSPRfilms]

Favorite channel for filmmaking right now. Thank you.

[@curtisworhach]

this video sent my down a rabbit hole of day for night. such a dope look

[@MrCrimenews]

I’ve gon back and forth on tripods. I have a good one and use it a lot. I’m learning from you that I need to make more shots and I have to utilize my GoPro’s in the car. You’re a good instructor and you have helped me in a few ways. Thank you, keep doing what you’re doing. I hope you’re making money.

[@pierrel2236]

Man, this is really impressive! well done, looks like real movie with budget. Congrats!!

[@anthyciastubbs2795]

This is perfect, it's really refreshing to see a director's perspective for someone as young as me in the game. Thanks for the advice! Needed this, keep going!

[@Blahdramagaming]

that car shot was really unexpected, didnt see the mirror coming. thanks for the tips

[@nikolasdove]

Whenever you walk far away from your camera do you ever get anxious of anyone out of nowhere seeing a dope camera by itself and runnin away with it lol? Love the vibes here man keep it up, love the 4:3 look too!

[@marcosfierros7988]

Bless you Vuhlandes, you're an inspiration.

[@sirduke538]

just starting to delve into my filming era, first video I've seen, appreciate this so much. subscribed !

[@paytonsample]

this is super cool advice because most my videos where i film myself are very basic and lack creativity in the shots and angles. I also tend to undershoot and am very impatient with my shots since I want to get it all out. Thanks for the tips!

[@ChevyboyCaprice_]

Mane, thank you for this! I'm gonna start music videos soon, and my homies are busy with work, so I gotta do this on my own sometimes. This video means a lot!

[@ianrodriguez129]

I think you’re my new favorite videography and cinematography KZbinr. Your work is just so gorgeous

[@directorsamdawjee8617]

Your Storytelling Style Is Really Unique...Amazing work man.

[@roseecm]

I love your voiceover. Very soothing voice.

[@RobbieBlue]

Day for night technique dope that changes when you can shoot

[@sebastianfmusic]

Yo dude. don't know if you'll see this but bro. I was down with Covid when the pandemic first kicked off. I BINGED ON YOUR CHANNEL....saying that to say, all that I learned ended up contributing to me getting a gig with T-pain. thank you. Im a music nigga and videos like this helped me get right and consequently landing that gig.

[@YongandMike]

I stumbled upon your primary KZbin channel, and I must say, your short films are exceptionally captivating, and I appreciate the beautiful stories you share. Your work has truly inspired me, and I will definitely be subscribing.

[@raquellewallace]

The martini glass at 10:04 is gorgeous!

[@therealkingmoni]

Got it so I need to learn camera Movement, Creativity, and how to put a Story together.
