you have made a wonderful job of deconstructing your montage into sensible steps. and it represents the technical side of video making. the hardest part is the storytelling. putting it all together. i could suggest you add further content on this specific video and make a complete series out of it.
I feel like I saw this video at just the right time. I've been worried about filming myself, but its good to see that there are people like you out there who also feel the same way about filming yourself and are able to get amazing shots! Thankyou!
I am always alone or with two kids aged 6 and 4, so this is an AWESOME video to help me! Love the trick about getting the camera to focus on your hand, then stand where your hand was. This was so helpful!!!!!
Man, I'm so glad you've become so much more yourself in your new videos. I get why you were doing this before, seems like everyone was, but you're so much more authentic now. Keep doing what you're doing. We love you!
Great share. Two additional tips: 1. Provided your camera has wifi, you can use the manufacturer's smartphone app to check if you are in focus while in the frame. I have a Panasonic and I can focus manually via the app as well. 2. Turn on "Focus Peaking", this has been invaluable in giving me a sense of what is in focus. Instead of just relying on my vision, this feature highlights (you choose the colour) what is in focus. This way you have a very prominent indication of what is in focus and what is not.
I'm about to film myself for an assignment that's due soon, at first I had a lot of anxiety about getting it done but now I'm hype for the challenge! Thanks for the tips! Checking out your short next!
Thanks for the tips. I just shot a video here on UA-cam myself for the very first time. I realized that I needed a tripod to start with, and thanks to your video it helps me out to save up some cash to get me the basic gear equipment.
I realize this is an older video, however the info provided is not dated. I just got myself my first full frame (a7iii) and have been wanting to explore doing short films with family or myself if I'm in a remote but beautiful area. However, I just didn't really know how to NOT make it look like a home video. This was an excellent and simple instructional. I even went back to search for your "reminder" video to watch, I watched it several times. It gives me encouragement :). Thank you! Off to watch more of your videos ... Lots to learn on my end but will move forward exploring.
Coming form 2020, and I gotta say Danny, I love your videos, always have, but seeing the difference between this one and the one from a few days ago really shows how far you've come, and I gotta say, congrats man!
Gosh why doesn't this video have more views or more subs in this channel?! This is GOLD! I love the breakdown of the info and all the shots, you really have the vision and an eye for filming. Thank you for sharing! :)
@@DannyGevirtz But a goodie! I know for sure these techniques will come in handy! Really can’t wait to try these out! I think it’s going to be so exciting to try these techniques out and perfect them!
Dear brother, good informative and experience. Really inspiring and very sensitive about the choosen subjects. Good luck to yours work.... God bless you and yours loving families in life.
Whatched a bunch of your newer stuff first and then saw this, you seem very authentic and chill from the beginning. Only thing that changed is the slightly clickbaity titles, for which you apologize, and I think that's awesome :D
Wild isn't it It's full of useful information, but it's a late 2010's video that is so different from todays! The music in the background is pure 2018 vibes 🤣
@@DannyGevirtz :) Danny, Do you work on individual projects as well? If yes, may I request you to share your email ID please? I shall reach out to you.
Hey Danny! Just want to say that you've been a real inspiration to me to want to try to setup my cinematography game, I've used some of your tips in my own solo short film too! Cheers from Singapore!
man what incredible quality! We are trying to shoot action film of our (sad) mountain biking. But watching this film make me realize that we aren't telling a story well enough. Thank you! Also, I know you probably HATE this request, but I'm going to make it anyways... could you do a similar type of "self shot story" with just a go pro and its accessories? Good content, thanks again for the inspiration!
Danny Gevirtz No no, Thank you... I was kind of trapped with a camera not knowing how to shoot my video by myself and you just opened up a huge variety of options...
It’s so inspiring seeing your videos this far back! And how far you have come. 🤙🏼🔥 my UA-cam channel was dead still and just started implementing being myself and it’s starting to grow. Stay at it man! Wish you the best brother 🎥🎬🔥
Haha so true. Well that’s really challenging filming yourself. I’m having a hard time new vlogger here . But I think the most important is, if you’re really passionate of what you’re doing . Anything is possible. Simplicity is the key Thank you for your tips.
Can we copy and paste this guy more in UA-cam please? That's what I want to see from other filmmakers too! Great job Danny, I got in a loop of watching your videos for last 3 days. Thanks for the effort!!! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Man, I have never seen this helpful video ever, I am making cover videos and I have no one to help. I always try to make it more interesting, so I am taking many footages and also filming myself in different angles, but it turns out they are not that interesting all together at the editing stage. So I just can't help uploading a single fixed angle video. You can see I tried at the first a few covers, and you can see they are not that good. Now I get the ideas about making self-filming more interesting. I can't thank you more. you deserve more subscribers. keep up the good work! I know this is too much but if you can give me tips about self-filming cover or Music videos, that would be fantastic! Thank you again, I am pretty sure your channel will get bigger.
I would love someone on UA-cam show me how to film a short film using things that most of us have around our homes. Tell us how to compose certain shots and why and what focal length and why. I feel that if I could do that a few times and follow along I would have a much better understanding. Love your videos Danny!
@@theoutofboundssportsnetwor2500 Thank you!!! Its one of those things you develop an eye for with practice. But I tend to just start by thinking about close details, then mediums, then wide shots to show where I am. COmposition will come.
I wish I had watched this earlier, there were a couple film challenges I wanted to get into but I just didn't know what to do, cz I'm all alone plus quarantine and stuff. I'll keep these in mind for the next ideas, thanks a lot
Good stuff man. Wish I had watched this before I was trying to shoot neighborhood scenes of myself on the way to a Mural PRoject. Big thing I ran into is how easy it is to forget the type of shots you want when you are actually out somewhere and time is an issue. When you are in the moment and busy thinking about a million things like "the crossing guard looking at my like I'm a creep because I keep walking back and forth on the same city block" you can easily forget what your goal was. Nice to watch videos and jot down in a copybook what shots you want before you get there.
After watching this video I feel so motivated to go outside, grab the camera and make something awesome! Great job, I was looking for video like yours a long time =)
super inspired me bro! thanks! creativity without anyone around was at zero until i saw this! btw no need for the background music, what ur saying is interesting enough! subbed!!
@@DannyGevirtz yes. I realized I can't be shooting any good videos from my cell phone. So that's number one. Buy a decent camera. You don't happen to have any old ones you wanna sell to You? 🤔

So glad you found this helpful Sarah! Thanks!
Finally, I found this video. Thank you so much, bro.
