If you apply any of the tips of this video and/or use the AI voice over in a project, let me know in the comments so I can check out your work ❤
Here is the external validation.
Great work, I always do a storyboard as well as a shooting script
Okay real talk, this is seriously an INCREDIBLE video. I can't even process how to film yourself filming yourself, and this video runs so smoothly. You deserve all the external validation you get!!
Ha, thank you!! It was a lot of work, especially since I had a ton of technical difficulties 😅 but we got it done. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🫶🏻
yeah im not gonna record myself just so that no one can see it because i have no one lol, thats why i just do photography and sell those
Yes it's fantastic 👏
Couldn’t agree more😅
I've struggled with doing this type of self-shoot. It's beyond frustrating. The level of patience people have to do this is admirable.
Hahaha right, it requires so much patience
I'm going to start doing this.
For someone who is always shoots alone, you have inspired me to a new level of creativity! Thanks so much!!! 💯💪🏾🇺🇸
Oh yay!! What is something you’re gonna try next?
@@lilafromyoutube I am going to try everything you said in this video to make shorts of me going to the Survivors Memorial. The Survivors Memorial is a documentary I am working on and my first big project. I would love to keep you posted on it.
❤ great 👍
Can u speak German or why is your accounts name "Einmalig"? :)
@@ChristinaKey G'day
"No friends".
Stop it.
What am I... chopped liver?
YOU ARE IN MASSACHUSETTS
I like the thought of someone passing by your car and just seeing a lady in the backseat talking to herself
hahaha that happened a lot
Loved it, thank you!!!
I’m so excited to get started, thank you!
Thank you for this video Lila. I want to improve my adventure videos to make them more cinematic but I found other channel's tutorials harder to follow. This one was perfect.
Fantastic video Lila as always, I haven’t posted a decent video in almost a year, trying to get back to it with a vlog and this video has given me the motivation I needed.
Love these videos, keep up the good work!! 😄
I love your videos ! Really helps me !
Appreciate it! 🙏🏻 what’s your biggest struggle when you film yourself?
Terrific video, I enjoyed watching this, great tips I had never considered before. You are an inspiration. Thank you Lila
What a phenomenal video! I too find the song first, gets the creativity flowing!
Great tips!!! Love them! Im using the focus on your foot shot as you get off the car. Thank you so much!!
Aww. Loved this video ❤. You will do good no matter what and we will be here to whatever you upload! 😅
❤️
Awesome content. Love your videography approach. Thanks.
thx for the artlist... new horizons ✌
Such an awesome video, I'm obsessed 😩 You inspired me to try make more cinematic videos
The first 20 seconds... hits home.. :)
This is such a great video. I really appreciate that you're teaching how to film yourself while you're actually filming yourself and really landing it. I've always found your explainers helpful, but this has layers - focus and framing, yes, but you're knocking the visual storytelling out of the park! Thanks for making this. It's inspiring.
I really really appreciate this 🙏🏻 thank you! I underestimated how hard filming yourself filming yourself was gonna be hahahaha
This was solid. Loved the tips about manual focus and composition. Great stuff!
I’m glad 🙏🏻 p.s. don’t forget rules are meant to be broken
Lila, you are always such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration, thank you!
That was awesome! I learned so much. Thanks!❤
Great video, you kept me watching ALL THE WAY to the end!
hell yea!!!
Great work on filming yourself.....filming yourself. Filming yourself on its own is hard work so cudos to you!
For me, it was always remembering to press that record button! I have also used two cameras when filming tutorials. One mid range and one close up. Just as challenging.
And then there's the audio! Yes, you're right. All very draining and challenging.
Great info on the AI and App which I will be checking out.
Keep up the great tutorials!
Nice job! Thanks for the info and ideas.
What an excellent how to film yourself video! Brava!
Saw you a few years ago when I was getting started, your English has drastically improved. Goed gedaan!
Amazing as always. Thanks for the tips
Thanks for watching 🫶🏻
Good job! Many of us can pick up something new to benefit our projects. Thank you!
Def gonna try
Yes!!! Thank you for this!!!! I asked on your other video for more details on shooting by myself and how to keep things in focus and what settings (aperture priority? Full manual? Full auto?) to use, keeping in frame, etc
I set it in full manual :) so no auto white balance, iso or shutter speed.
This video just blew my mind!
The best part, along with the great tips, was the encouragement that "you are not alone." It's easy to forget that when you only see the finished product. I appreciate you, as always!
Thanks!! It’s probably better to leave it out for ✨ retention purposes ✨ but I felt tired and defeated after the shoot that I needed to say it in case anyone else feels that way haha. I definitely felt a bit alone because no one really mentions it! 😂
so helpful! and your shots are beautiful!!!
thanks so much cara! ♥️
I only started my vlogging channel 2 weeks ago so thank you for these tips & great methods for filming yourself. Much appreciated Lila. Kind regards, Tony
So awesome, quirky and lovely
Thank you so much for this video... I never thought to put something in shot to manual focus on before 🙈
These are excellent tips! I film solo hiking, which can be quite challenging. I love that you mentioned using a storyboard-I recently started doing that, and it has saved me so much time!
oh that’s definitely challenging! A storyboard or shot list is a must. Definitely pin a little note with all the shots you gotta take (establishing, wide, medium, close up etc) as a little checklist.
Perfect video! Much appreciated 🔥😁!
I’m so glad!
So glad I found your channel again! New channel commenting but longtime fan! The notes in here about trying to make sure you review every shot and pre-planning really hit home (because that's some stuff I still need to work on myself). Awesome video!
I think I recognise your username, is it similar to the old name you were using? Funnily enough I was considering leaving some of those notes out but I’m glad I didn’t because it’s the little things I need to hear myself!
@@lilafromyoutube It is, yes. The "Hastega" portion is the part that remained.
Thought so!!
Ok it’s time to get to filming. Thanks for your inspiration, Lila.
Go film! And don’t forget to let me know when it’s done
Definitely had to subscribe nun of these other filmmakers channels I been has ever been this entertaining and educational as this video right here
Aw thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

🫶🏻🫶🏻

Hi! I am glad I found your channel today. You are very well spoken and a delight to watch. Just trying to get my first video organized and shot myself. Very overwhelming! This video helped me. Thank you and have a great day!!
Aw thanks! if there's anything in particular you'd like to see a video about, feel free to share it.

Haha thank you 🙏🏻
Great video and thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧
Thank you for this!!!!
♥️
Great video!! I will definitely be implementing these tips :) as a beginner who is learning how to shoot alone!
You got this ♥️
My God! You are a one person film making powerhouse. Even gave me that feeling of "what's my excuse?"
ohhh thank you!! And.. what is your excuse?
Thank you so much for this great content. I learned so much
OK definitely trying the manual focus idea and getting that monitor app thank you 😊
Great video. Big fans here! Thanks for the help
Thank YOU!
Very nice thank you!
Thank you for sharing
You make it all seem so easy that I want to have a go. Just need to find the time…
… and learn the skills.
Great video this will really help me out When I’m making travel content
Consider yourself validated externally, my friend! Fantastic presentation on what COULD be (but isn't thanks to you) a very boring topic! Much love for what you do and bring to the table for all of us!
Ha!! Thank you 💕
Great video. Yes, would like to see the editing!
Great explainer - and the voice over caught me totally off guard, it was a doppelgänger!? Reviewing it so important. I missed focused on a couple of dynamic scenes earlier this week and yep, doubt I'll get to recreate them. Thank you for all the though you put into this, Lila!
This was great! I'm just starting out and these tips helped me so much! Also, I'd love to see a breakdown of the editing process :)
Thanks for letting me know. And how exciting that you’re starting out ✨
Excellent video!
Wow!!! What a nice video!! You are so cool, sweet and funny together! Love your tips and your videos are so good and full of inspiration! Thanks and greetings from Berlin! 😍☀🙌
Hi Lila, thank you so much for this helpful video! Your tips on how to film oneself are really practical and easy to follow. Especially for someone who has no idea how to start, this has been incredibly useful. I appreciated your recommendations on camera angles. They make a huge difference! Can't wait to try these techniques in my own videos. Keep up the great work!
Well done my Dear 🙏
Great way to share what goes on behind the scenes 😉
Hey Brannon! It’s been forever!
Wait for it ...
🙌
Here is your validation
Well done Lila
🙌
Doing this kind of shotlist is actually what I did to a recent trip to Berlin.
Still haven't edited it tho 😅
Love this video. Thank you! It’s so challenging filming on my own. 😂
Validation coming your way. 0:19 laughing hard. Great video. Liked and I was already subscribed. Saludos!
Appreciate the validation Aron!!! 🫶🏻 much needed. And glad I made you laugh haha
This was really good and super helpful!
Thank you for validating my work haha
Excellent stuff. Bravo!!!
The big let down at the end of shooting is real. Sometimes its reason enough to bring along anyone else to help. Even if its just to press record.
Truth!!
@@lilafromyoutube I might also use AI to help me learn voice over skills. Mmmm, yeah.
awesome tips. I've been putting off filming myself while out and about.
Why?
@@lilafromyoutube feels weird sometimes. 🤣
This is so helpful. Thank you friend
Hey how have you been!
@lilafromyoutube I'm good and staying busy but this video was very helpful cus I want to make one about being a solo creator and a day in the life of what I do. So these tips are so helpful.
Amazing work!
Thanks!!
love this video as a I am complete newb! I love your encouragement as well.
You got this! 🖤
This was awesome, I'm super scared to try vlogging, but having a few tips to fall on helps immensely!
I'm relatively new to Premiere Pro and have been getting frustrated with so many tiny things that slow me down. This video covered a number of them. You're a life saver!
are you sure this was the video you meant to comment on hahaha
@@lilafromyoutube Ha! I had too many Lila how-to vids open at the same time. WHOOPS😅
Awesome tips to tell a great story!
🙏🏻 what’s your biggest struggle when it comes to filming yourself?
@@lilafromyoutube lack of skill, and motivation
ah those are definitely solvable! Maybe start small and don’t pressure yourself in making a master piece. You’ll get the hang of it :)
❤ as a new filmmaker starting a youtube channel this information is fantastic.
Girl ammmmazzzing vid and jammed packed with fantastic ideas and tips 🎉 I have no clue why you don't have friends your funny 😂 and my ppl
very detailed breakdown
🫶🏻
The transition to the actual footage was so good👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Really helpful tips, thank you so much!! Voiceovers, yeah I'm really not good at it either. That's why I don't do it often. Yes, AI can help, but it doesn't feel completely natural. So sometimes I stutter and struggle with words, but it's part of the vibe I guess 😅
Nice to see you used a decent motor in the video when did you join the Land Rover club - we love them and have had various ones over the years settling for our 2 Discoveries now - cracking video Lila !
I love my velar! It’s been a dream come true to finally be part of the Land Rover club!
@@lilafromyoutube you'll never go back either 😉 we had a Velar and they are awesome but not big enough for us with the dogs and horses plus it gets very dirty and a Velar should be clean 🪥
Haha I clean it so often! It’s such a beast. I hope I’ll be able to afford it forever because I love Land Rover. Thanks for welcoming me to the club haha
I primarily shoot myself and autofocus is the greatest challenge. Appreciate your tips about manual focus as I’ll be giving that a try more consistently.
let me know how you like manual focus!
Very useful tips! I just came back from shooting myself in the park and found your video, which is great by the way! 🔥 🔥 🔥 manual focus and tripod 💪
oh how did it go??
so creative.
thanks 🥹 do you film solo a lot?
I’ll be trying the AI voiceover, but the Creator app is gonna be a huge help. Awesome video
Lemme know how you like both!
Wow, what a nice day! (because Lila uploaded! 🎉)
Hahaha appreciate you ♥️♥️
I loved this Lila thank you … external validation from me lol x
Haha appreciate it!!
Dope episode dear,... #bravo
holy poop. never seen you before but subbed first 30 seconds.
I love that you said holy poop 😂 welcome! And nice to meet ya
Thank you so much for this video. I am currently creating at work safety videos and I never thought about generating the voice over first and then shoot the shots. I always get frustrated because i need to adjust the voice overs, because I don’t have enough video footage. Doing the voice over first will help me a lot. Thank you!!
It’ll help a lot!!
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for the confidence inspiring tips 😊
Thanks Oliver 🙏🏻🙏🏻 what tip are you gonna apply for your next vid?
@@lilafromyoutube I really liked the fixed focus one where you stepped out the car. Simple yet really effective!
