The struggle with self-filming. Ideas for solo recording that change the game | Vlog 1
Filming yourself on a mobile phone is a real challenge. The biggest stumbling block most newbies face (besides the gear and editing)… is memorizing a script and being natural, engaging and to the point. This leaves you feeling unsatisfied with the final product because it’s boring.
I thought I’d try a new way to creating videos. Why not make a presentation (PowerPoint or Keynote) and use that as a visual que to keep you on track. If you record yourself with one camera and record your screen of the presentation you’ll basically have your script, teleprompter and broll footage all at the same time.
I struggled with making video (me being in-front of the camera) for years because I kept comparing myself with people like Casey Neistate, Peter McKinnon and Jessee Driftwood. Nothing I ever did measured up to the quality. I found I was trying to copy them… like with the slow-motion cinematic scenes, transitions, perfect audio and the list goes on.
I found it super easy to make a story as a presentation first and basically tell my story. This approach could also work for sales videos, landing page videos, product reviews… basically anything.
I hope you like it and get inspired. I know I am. This is my 1st vlog and I plan on doing more. I hope you stay connected.
Comments are my biggest metric I care about. So please leave feedback or engage with me. That’s what I want. Follows and subs comes after.
Thanks for being real. MSG me below.
