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.

That’s crazy the intro looks like the movie moonlight

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

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 😅

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.🙏🙏

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.

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!

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.

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 🤗

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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 :)

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

I stumbled upon your primary KZfaq 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.

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

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! ✨

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!

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

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

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 :)

you always continue to inspire dude, I've been cooking up a short film with a friend and this video kinda opened my eyes to "we don't have to do some crazy shit to be good" i send this video to him and told him to watch it and i'm planning on maybe just doign something else...

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

This the first video of yours that I've seen but the lighting and shots in your video is gorgeous. Amazing work man and I'm excited that I have a new content creator to start learning from

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

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

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

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

Your color theory is on point

Man, this video is hella inspiring, much appreciated! And some of those shots are so creative

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

Your craft is so cool. Thank you for taking the dedication to do these cool videos I enjoy watching it so much and I found your work very inspiring to me. Much appreciated!👍🏻

You are so inspirational. I love you and your work!

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!

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

Your color grading is incredible. I really love your content!

Great Tips bro needed this and welcome back to Florida !

This was so helpful! I appreciate the tips!!! I love the angles and everything and want to keep my audience engaged! thank you!

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!

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.

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

Only just started the vid, 2 mins in and already picking up on your awesome sense of humour. Brilliant!
