Dude, that way of introducing camera shake by stabilizing a clip is amazing. Great stuff man.
Glad you liked that!
Well, pure genius...
That reverse camera shake tip is genius!!!
Thanks boss!
The sequel we didn’t know we needed, yet couldn’t imagine living without it after we had seen it.
Awesome video and great tips as ever man! Nice work!
I watched this and deffo took loads of notes 😂
Thanks so much for saying that Paul! It's always tough to know whether to dive into a "followup" video like this so I'm glad it was helpful.
@@dunnadidit totally fine mate, the advice about the tripod and using it as a steady cam type of rig is something so simple that I wouldn’t have thought about doing at all, just that alone will help.
When’s part 3 haha 😂
Hope your doing well mate!
Well said, @Pauljakeman!
@@BugBobsWildWorld thanks mate!
Im definitely going to have to use these tips when I start vlogging again. I’ve tried using preprogrammed gimbal movements before. I think my biggest issue is figuring out the timing. I would definitely recommend people buffer in extra time in their filming. You never know when something will slip or the wind will blow something over.
I couldn't agree more. However long you think something will take... double it lol.
That shake hack is tight! cool
Pretty nifty right?!
@@dunnadidit yeah it’s wicked cool
The method one with the parallax effect is an amazing trick! Never realized that before!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
That reverse stabilization for natural handheld feel is such a great trick! Thanks for that!
No problem! happy to help!
Helpful! Thanks!
Top! Thanks 😀
really appreciate this series, not because i don’t want to make friends but more like where i am it’s not common to meet people locally who are into content creation or media wise industries so this really helps me out. Thanks Dunna 😊
Keep it up man! Well said!!
With the release of the ZV-E1, being a solo creator has never been easier!
The auto framing feature is great for filming yourself.
Thanks for the tips bruv 🔥
Fabulous video. Thanks!
Thank you. Was a helpful video!
This is Very helpful! Thanks Man!
Fantastic .😇. Thank you so much .
Really cool stuff, dude. Thank you for the inspiration!
Once again this was amazing.
I'm finding your channel to be really helpful. I've had a channel for almost 3 years and my goal has been to learn one new skill to use in each upload. My biggest hurdle has been knowing the correct jargon to google so I can find the steps to create the effect I've got in my head. I'm one of those solo shooters with no friends...to help me film, so this 2 parter has been really great! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the kind words Angie! I'm glad you found the videos helpful!
Great tips. Can’t wait to use them.
Wow, the reverse camera stabilization is a great hack, will definitely use this. Thanks man, great video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great ideas and great result. Thanks for sharing :)
You Dunna Did It again. Thanks for the great tips!
NICE one man, You are a CREATIVE LEGEND - (You Screamer you ;-)
Really good stuff man!
This is great, deceptively simple, and so helpful. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice video and helpful tips to me, rolling one deep in Finland :D thank you!
This was SO helpful, thank you so much!!! Now I just need to figure out how to use the gimbal that has been collecting dust since spring. LOL.
So useful, thanks. My favorite is the reversed stabilized shake, so brilliant.
That handheld reverse stabilization looks really good
Right?!
Adding the stabilization from the handheld clip to the static shot is a great idea!
Awesome!
You just proved we don’t need friends to shoot for us! Hell yea ! 😌
Haha hell yeah!
thanks! really good tips & ideas
Thanks for watching!
Great thoughts! Thanks for always making these amazing videos Dunna! I started photography last year and your videos have really helped me to absorb a lot of good insights and tricks to make the photos/videos look better.
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm so glad that the videos have been helpful!
Love your work, Clever and really helpful! Hope Easter treated you and family well! Stay safe, have fun! 🦘🍻👊🤠🐟🤿
Thanks so much! Cheers!
Yep, I'm back here re-watching it. So much great info in a pair of videos, Parts I & II. Thank you so much Dunna!
You are so welcome! Glad I was able to help!
Your video offers many great ideas for camera movement and gave me a head-slap 🤕 about a device I already have: A turntable for photographing small products. Instead of putting the product on the turntable, I can put my Sony a7IV on the turntable and set the turntable to move slowly through 45-90° and the result will be a pan or a tracking. Hey, 360° for around the world as I slowly walk around the camera and turntable and it captures the background all the way around. Crazy! I just checked the turntable specs and the camera and lens weight are well within its range. The turntable is only 9" dia x 2" H, rechargeable, fits in my backpack, and the remote control is way-easier to use outdoors than an app. Cool, Dunna- thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Haha I’m happy to hear my video got your gears turning! Have fun experimenting!
Love the reverse stabilize idea. Genius!
Thanks!
Thank you for these tips. I really like to travel alone because I don't like big crowds.
That's why I MUST record myself Now my videos will be much more interesting and dynamic 😍
Excellent!
Great tips for someone who's looking for some inspiration. Thank you, I really enjoyed watching your video.
I'm glad it was helpful!
Dropping so many valuable tips again! Sending the love right back to you ❤🎶
🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰
🥰🥰🥰
Another useful video thanks man! Looking forward to more of your excellent content … more please !!! 😂
Thanks for watching Paul!
@@dunnadidit always my man !! You’ll never get rid of me … lol. Wow that sounds Stalker-esk !! Good to see you and Happy Easter weekend
Lol 😂
Oooh is that method 5 background music from track club too? Cause it’s 🔥👌🏽!
Finally!!! Someone who actually shows what I was looking for! Thank you! What’s the name of the software you’re using to edit the video?
nice video
I have excellent news. The camera shake is in the free version of Resolve as well. Excellent video as always. I very much appreciate your work. It has helped me immensely.
Oh nice! I’m not sure why I thought it was just the paid version
I appreciate these awesome tips Dunna! I'm going to play with these for sure. Were you filming at Thetis Lake by chance?
That’s exactly where that was! Beautiful location.
if you don't have a friend take a shot not too close but not too far a medium shot where you can see everything of you so now you can zoom/pan in post processing edit a shot where you follow you 👍🏻 it's super helpful
oh and your video its such awesome bro ✊🏻
Love the reverse stabilization 🔥 13:19
Thx ❤ I didnt know that in Davinci so much is possible, I use it too, but yeah. Cool I have to learn this ☺️ actually as an Idea, you can mix Maybe the slide with the shaking, Maybe this is also cool!
Thanks for your time. What do you think of the BlitzWolf BW-BS 15-stand? And is there any better alternatives for minimalist beginner talkinghead vloging.
Man! I really could've used this video when I did assassins! This is a short film on my page where I played six different characters at the same time and I hit and shoot myself, I wish I saw this video back then, Great stuff.
ah!
without i know the name
i usually method no. 3 (because i rarely carrying my wide lens due forgeting to put it in backpack lol)
also glad you explained on method no.4 because its one of my old trick too on Premiere pro and i don't know it exist on DaVinci (just move on to Davinci december last year)
I'm glad to hear that it was helpful!
That first opening line never hit more true than today 😂 you have no friends 😅
Haha 😂
Helpful as always, thank you Dunna for your consistently fantastic videos!
Dunna, I got you covered! If you are ever near the New York area and need help, Im at your service. We can film some bangers and I can show you the real beauty of NY!
I appreciate it!
Brilliant video’s pt1 & 2…thank you for the amazing tips, this has given me so much more to add to what was going to be just boring shots👍🏻
Fantastic tips. I especially liked the fake camera shake using a Compound clip, as well as the fake pan using Smart Reframe. These are the best tips on filming yourself I've yet seen. Same goes for Part 1.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the kind words.
In regards to the gimbal segment. Are you able to program your example here without the use of the raven eye system? If so, does this feature have its own name outside of "active track", & do you know if this is a standard feature for the RS3 Mini & RS 3 as well? My goal is to film myself for band purposes and the RS3 Pro price tag is a bit brutal to secure the active track for me at the moment. Totally green at the moment. Any and all help is appreciated.
Give'r. How to say you're Canadian without saying you're Canadian. 😂
I've been trying to think of ways to do this with a GoPro when I'm trekking in the back country, but I think post op is my best bet for now. Great tips.
Haha did you catch when I said out and about 😜
9:17 I will take the bonus point. Scott aka The FrugalFilmmaker has a video showing how to make something out of PVC tubing. xactly what's in frame does depend a lot on the lens.
I'll be your friend, bud. You seem all right.
I appreciate it.
@@dunnadidit that's what friends are for 💞
I have an extension tube attached to my gimbal. Essentially makes my gimbal a selfie gimbal. But does get top heavy so I hope you have strong forearms.
With my big FX6 solo filming is so hard but with the smaller ZVE1 it is good possible 😅 best cinematic greetings from an older german TH-cam filmmaker 😂
I totally want to see you try the Snorricam, but only if you do it in a crowded public place! 🤣 Seriously though, really great video and some super useful tips! Thanks for the video.
Haha sounds like a fun time.
how you do the effect in the letters at the beginning??? it`s great
Put the video on top of the white lettering and change the blend mode of the video clip to multiply. Maybe I’ll do a full tutorial on it some day!
@@dunnadidit thanks✌
Hi there I'm trying to learn how to film myself eating Bloomin' Onions at Outback Steakhouse. Do you think it's okay for me to ask the server to run my Steadicam Zephyr Camera Stabilizer with 7" HD Monitor, Standard Vest & Gold Mount Plate? Or should I just set up my own Rhino Rov Pro Slider like you've done here?
Thank you for any tips.
I think this would be acceptable in the same way that you would ask your server to take a group photo. Sure, it’s a bit more complicated, but in the end it’s still basically the same thing.
The information you provided in this series may be able to help me in my Tokyo trip next week! Though I don't have a slider, I do have a DJI RS3 Miini and a Insta360 one inch. Hopefully I can execute it well enough!
Nice! The RS3 Mini should be able to do this from my understanding! And the 360 will be great!
How much can you zoom in 4K footage without ruining the quality (to be used in TH-cam for instance)? Some 10%?
I've wanted a Snorricam ever since the Smashing Pumpkins released the video for 1979! I just didn't know it was called a Snorricam 🧐
I think I hear the cash register checkout sound effect from here lol. I should have put an affiliate link for the snorricam in the description lol
Are you still in Edmonton, Alberta?
Nope! Moved last year to the west coast
Reverse camera shake 👍🏾
In the old Sergio Leone movies you see mostly steady camera shots.
My suggestion, actually, don't use moving camera shots too much.
When you're alone, just take several takes and view points of the scene.
Then, later, edit everything.
Reverse stabilization it’s a nice trick 🤯
😊
Great davinci tips isn’t the last one built into the new Sony. Never knew it was in davinci already.
It sure is! That is actually kind of what inspired me to show that you can also do it in software. The in camera version in the ZV-E1 looks a bit better off the hop in my opinion but you’re stuck with whatever it gives you. With the DVR version, you can go in and adjust it.
How about use Snorricam backwards to shot yourself from behind? I'm sure it's doable
Could be!
Drones... Active track etc...
Speaking of friends, if you need any help next time you're in Calgary don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks
I appreciate that!
Bonjour quel profil vous vous filmez vos vidéos ?
Je filme à peu près tout en SLOG3
@@dunnadidit Merci
Quel est la différence entre Slog3 Ciné et Slog3 ? Quel profil est mieux ?
Both videos appear to be missing something. Scenarios!!!
Lots of useful tricks, strategies, and video editing techniques in both videos. But both are set out, in wooded areas, without other people. Kind of makes difficult to envision how to achieve in other places
I hear you and appreciate the feedback! These videos were definitely designed to talk about the tricks, strategies, and techniques so that anyone could take the information and then apply it to their own project and scenario. Hopefully (and luckily, most of the feedback I've gotten suggests it to be true) others were able to creatively imagine how to use these ideas in their own projects an scenarios. Anything specifically that you would have liked to see?
@@dunnadidit I mainly do event / documentary photography. Not yet found a way to film myself or BTS type of footage for this
If I knew about nesting and reverse camera shaking I would not be needing any friends at all🤗😍👌💪👍 but I don't 🙈
Thanks Dunna for all the great tips! Fun fact, there's a French documentary filmmaker who's been running for twenty years now a successful travel series on TV and in cinemas, using only a snorricam and a couple of action cameras. So if anyone's feeling limited by filming themselves, just know that you can still create great things and find success that way.
Thats so amazing! Thanks for sharing! Do you know the name?
@@dunnadidit Yes, it's called "J'irai dormir chez vous" ("I'll sleep at your place"). I don't believe it's been translated into English though... The guy's name is Antoine de Maximy, former war reporter. He travels to different countries by himself and tries to learn about people's lives by getting them to invite him at their place for a day or two. It's a really fun series. He's made a few movies as well like "I'll sleep in Hollywood", "I'll sleep at Burning Man", etc.
Very cool! Thanks so much.
The next Peter McKinnon is upon us... Except this guy is more relatable :D
You can use a drone to make video from behind 😉
🌟 BONUS POINTS 🌟
Funny enough, I actually had a drone as the 6th tip in the original outline for this video, but when I thought about a bunch of people operating a drone without paying direct attention to it, I figured it was better to leave it out.
Feels like a commercial and less educational video
I was excited about this video, because I'm a film student who has to do all of my own filming . You inspired me to start a channel but this video isn't fun or engaging I feel like you want me to buy more then learn
Interesting, thanks for your feedback. Did you find the non-gear related tips helpful? It’s tough to talk about camera movement without an operator without bringing up gear that would be necessary, but I thought that the last 3/5 tips were a good balance since most people probably already have a tripod and must have some kind of software.
Correct. I just have no friends in general 😂🤣
With friends like you....who needs....well....how do I say this....friends?
How if filming myself going to get me friends? Asking for a friend.
no friends sounds so sad 😢
no friends...available 😜
Where's part one? 🤔🤣
There’s a little link that pops up in the top right when I mention part one!
@@dunnadidit Yeah, I reckoned. It however only pops up if you use the official TH-cam app.
But also, here: th-cam.com/video/ZIoMgeSjWxM/w-d-xo.html
@@dunnadidit Thank you! Some great tips and reminders. I'm filming myself and also have a disease. Wheelchair user and very little energy. It's a challenge and some of the tips I've learned the hard way. Especially checking your shots every single time.
That definitely adds extra layers of complexity to things. I’m glad to hear that the tips were helpful.
Definitely looks like BC.
Or a month fro now. Just buy a EV-1 lol
Lol you can do some of that in the camera
Why don't you show us the whole edited video after you're done
i love your videos! inspiring 🤍
Thanks so much for watching and for letting me know!
Dunna, there is a reason why you hid yourself in some forest. It’s peaceful, no annoying people staring, awesomeballs backdrop. How to record yourself in the city or anywhere with people around… Now that’s a challenge.
There are two reasons!
1. I’m kind of an introvert and I get really awkward filming myself when there are people around, especially for something like this when there are so many layers of filming myself filming myself etc.
2. I like hiking and it was an excuse to go out lol.
I guess also, I felt like I could get my points across without making it EXTRA difficult on myself. If I wanted to make a challenge video then I could have done it in a busy area.
@@dunnadidit fully valid! Car is a nice studio as well ☺️
Truth!
Tip #5: throw all this crap away and use a 360 camera
Lol 😂
