[@elisakamugisha2583]

Ok boss, and I would wish you take through one on one tutorials

[@Shaban2.O.]

Best 🙂

[@richzulewski7185]

Love it! But you must be super human. NO ONE wakes up after a nights sleep with perfect hair. LOL. Thanks a million!

[@JussiAlexander]

Hahah, actually my hair was a bit messy in the first shot! 😀 Glad you liked the video! 🙌

[@street.photography]

You made me realize about the hair, wake up with perfect hair. 😀😀

[@PallyKAPUKARE]

😂😂

[@quabenahowusu-ansah2399]

😄😄

[@replay0712]

Its ok , in korean drama all the actors wake up with nice hair. lol

[@allrecipesbaking]

Thank you so much I have difficulty shooting all by myself with the camera so I decided to just use my phone but watching this now I go back to my camera this video is very helpful 👍👍👍

[@JussiAlexander]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏 Just use what you have and have fun creating content! 🙌

[@DanJackson]

Thank you for sharing this. This really is a great video and shows the importance of planning your shots in advance (rather than just picking up the camera and shooting!)

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! Yeah it's helps so much when you plan she story and the shot list before filming.

[@all_things_home]

Good point.

[@iammelisadenise]

Agreed!

[@RedefiningBodybuilding]

My best investment has been 2 gimbal. DJI Ronin SC for my camera and DJI OM5 for mobile. When I've used them for self shooting it changed the game since I didn't need anyone to shoot for me.

[@JussiAlexander]

It sure helps to have great gimbals with all the useful features! 😎👍

[@maalumzawadi245]

NICLEY DONE my friend! U ROCK!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks!

[@gwbakerart]

Brilliant, Jussi. Thanks so much for the inspiration. This is just what I needed and although I do not have all that nice equipment, I think I can make something work with what I have. Much appreciated!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful! 😊

[@theartoflivingwithmeryl]

I am new to this platform and I am passionate to learn how to shoot in different angles. Your videos are definitely worth watching! Lots of great points to learn.
You're so creative! I hope I can be a pro like you someday.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks, I appreciate it! 🙏 Have fun creating videos!

[@MoneyInvestHub]

Jussi, your brilliance is truly inspiring. I am grateful for the motivation you have given me, and I am convinced that I can create something spectacular with the resources at my disposal, even if they may not be as advanced as yours. Your guidance is highly appreciated. Thank you!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! 🙏 Glad to hear you find my videos helpful! You can do it!

[@mattbgraves]

“When you’re filming a video of yourself and don’t have anyone around to help” is probably the funniest sentence I’ve heard all year. 😂😂😂 thank you Covid

[@JussiAlexander]

Haha 😂

[@MOODS-BEATS-VIBESsessiondjw]

Man you are the THOR of self videos!!!!! You inspire me everytime!!!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks!

[@goldberger2948]

That's passion and the right priorities when the lights cost more than the TV set.

[@JussiAlexander]

I agree!

[@festivalmiami]

First 30secs -> days of work … appreciate your love for perfection

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! 🙏 I'm really glad to hear that!

[@sentientbeans]

This is so awesome and inspiring! With creativity you can definitely make a video by yourself.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! Glad to hear that! 🙏

[@jacksp8de]

Funny I just did a video of me waking up 3 different ways to show days when I’m motivated and days when I’m not. Editing now! Must be a sign

[@JussiAlexander]

What a coincidence!

[@alvinhandroottb]

Trust me. You're bigger than "them". I love this❤️💯

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks, glad to hear that!

[@KathySierraVideo]

Thank-you for this!!! I would literally take a whole course on filming alone.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that! 😎

[@TomasMichaud]

Really well done. You're a true inspiration Jussi.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! I appreciate it! 😊

[@PsychologywithNina468]

This is so informative, thank you so much, Jussi! There are tons of videos about equipment and gear, but not about how you actually shoot by yourself. I finally found your channel. Subscribed!

[@JussiAlexander]

Great to have you here! :)

[@Sulanfaithbeautybusiness]

I don’t do filming or have all this equipment but this is great for me to practice for my skincare business and UA-cam vids! Thank youuuuu

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you find it helpful!

[@JoshGUITARofolo]

Love it. So helpful man thank you

[@JussiAlexander]

[@SandiipAcharya]

Amazing
Lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! Greetings from Finland! 👋

[@maciopmaciejka8774]

I'm impressed by the video that was created with self-recording. The short shots are created in a professional style, which showcases the talent and skill of the creator. It's truly amazing how technology has made it possible for anyone to create such visually appealing content. The video also serves as an inspiration to many, including myself, who aspire to create content of this caliber. It takes practice and dedication, but it's possible to develop the skills needed to create professional-looking content. Overall, I enjoyed watching the video and look forward to seeing more from this talented creator in the future.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you very much! Glad to hear you like the video! 🙏

[@kavrelivlog]

This man did very well. Respect for the effort.

[@see_more_media]

Nicely done! Looks like this video has brought your content to a whole new audience.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! Yeah, I was positively surprised how many people found my channel through this video!

[@keithboyd655]

Sound was such an instrumental (pun intended) element of this video, I'd love to see you do a walkthrough of the logic behind your soundtrack decisions as well.

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks for your feedback! I keep that in mind when planning my upcoming videos!

[@kachorrobelico]

Explicas demasiado bien, yo sé muy poco el idioma y realmente entendí casi todo, buen video ! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[@carreteFILMSPro]

Saludos!

[@MikeMendozaTV]

Great video. Had me thinking of making short videos of myself, inside the house since winter is already here in Minnesota. Subscribed!!!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! It’s winter here in Finland and getting colder outside so I’m trying to film more inside! 😄

[@jennyelena]

So good! You make it look so easy! (though, I know it's not!) I especially loved that you used the drone out the window. That was unexpected and the perfect perspective with the cold wind noise. Thanks for the behind the scenes!

[@JussiAlexander]

Glad to hear you like it! Thanks! 🙏

[@VipinSehrawat]

Just perfect 👏🏻
