Great tips!!! Love them! Im using the focus on your foot shot as you get off the car. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic video Lila as always, I haven’t posted a decent video in almost a year, trying to get back to it with a vlog and this video has given me the motivation I needed.
Thank you for this video Lila. I want to improve my adventure videos to make them more cinematic but I found other channel's tutorials harder to follow. This one was perfect.

Great video Lila! I know this took a ton of work. Filming yourself filming is definitely taxing lol 😂
Great work on filming yourself.....filming yourself. Filming yourself on its own is hard work so cudos to you! For me, it was always remembering to press that record button! I have also used two cameras when filming tutorials. One mid range and one close up. Just as challenging. And then there's the audio! Yes, you're right. All very draining and challenging. Great info on the AI and App which I will be checking out. Keep up the great tutorials!
