About This Video

Filming yourself doesn’t have to be difficult. What’s difficult is your perfectionism — and if you’re here, you probably feel that too. In this video, we show you how to start filming solo with whatever you already have: an iPhone, a GoPro, an action cam… heck, whatever you’re watching on. You don’t need a course. You need an idea and a camera, and the willingness to be imperfect in public without freezing up. We break it down into simple, beginner-friendly steps: bring a script (dot points are your best friend), choose whether you’re holding the camera or mounting it, and understand A-roll vs B-roll. A-roll is you talking to camera — and if that’s all you have, it’s enough. Then we spice it up with easy perspectives: tripod shots, handheld talking shots, POV angles, plus a time-lapse or hyperlapse for extra flavor. We also talk composition (grid lines + rule of thirds), frame rate for variety (like 120fps underwater), and why not having a front-facing screen can actually free you from self-criticism. The takeaway is simple: feck perfection — you’re worthy, you’re enough, and you’re 100% capable of filming yourself within your means.
