In this video, I share practical tips for filming yourself using gear & techniques you may not have tried. I’ll be shooting on the tiny Rokinon Remaster Slim Lenses with ultra-portable alternative tripods by Ulanzi and K&F Concept. I’ll also explain how I use the Sony Monitor + Control App for framing and focus, along with shooting tips like removing crowds from your shots and frames within frames. I’ll also show you how to add camera movement to your shots, and some tips for using portable lighting to enhance your footage. Gear links below!
