So you've all asked me, how do I film myself? Shots like this, like this, like this, these are filmed by myself and in public. Honestly, from a technical standpoint, it's really easy when you prepare. But what you might not know from a mental standpoint is what I think most people, me included, struggle with. So let's start with the easy technical things. My steps are write my screenplay and shot list, frame my shot, walk in, say my lines, walk out, look at the footage, second guess if I did it right or if I can do better, walk myself back in there, walk out, and repeat over and over and over until I knock out every shot on my shot list. It sounds simple, yes, in theory, but we all know it is because it's not. For some reason, in all of our heads, we think we look ridiculous because it is kind of. Right? I'm here to tell you, no. It isn't. Your fear of looking stupid is holding you back. You think you look dumb, don't you? Walking back and forth, hitting the record better, you don't. And for anybody to make you think or feel that way, buck them. And what they rank, it don't matter. So in conclusion, how do I film my videos? The first step is letting go of all of that. Because the answer to the most complex questions are always the most obvious and simple ones. And when y'all ask me this, it's not because of y'all skill level, that comes with practice over tier, and I can bet on that. It comes from your self doubt. You got this, so go tier. Make your stakes, learn, and come back even better. Next tier, we good talk technical aspects, but my relationship with y'all just started, and the most important thing before any technical skill is heart. You all got it. I'm just here to help y'all find it. Till next tier, my good people.
