[@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

[@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!

[@supernovacentury]

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! 😊

[@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 😂

[@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!

[@stayconsistent]

I was like …” ok . I can do this…”….until he brought out the drone!😂

[@JussiAlexander]

Haha 😄

[@cara.leo_]

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

[@JussiAlexander]

Thank you! Glad to hear that! 🙏

[@danielclifton4589]

Another great video! I love your creativity when it comes to filming yourself. Keep the great work up!

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks! Happy to hear you like it!

[@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!

[@KathySierraVideo]

[@goldberger2948]

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

[@JussiAlexander]

I agree!

[@MudSweatGears_TT]

Great video! I loved the innovative solutions you came up with to capture your shots. Filming yourself is a ton of work 🙂

[@JussiAlexander]

Thanks so much! 😊 I really appreciate it!

[@Sulanboujetbeauty]

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

[@JussiAlexander]

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

[@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! 🙏

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!
