From leveraging unique camera angles and creative composition to mastering the art of clean audio and utilizing the right gear, we've covered everything you need to kickstart your solo filmmaking journey.
But here's the thing - the most important part of filming yourself is to just start. Yes, you heard me right. It's easy to get bogged down by the plethora of techniques, gear, and editing tricks, but the essence of filmmaking, especially when you're in front of and behind the camera, is to just begin. This is something I had to remind myself when I decided to create more personal content. The hurdles seemed endless, but the breakthrough came when I simply started.
Throughout this video, I've broken down my process into digestible tips, including my favorite - which you'll have to watch to find out! Whether it's about capturing the perfect shot, nailing your audio, or just making the most out of the equipment you have, these tips are designed to boost your confidence and spark your creativity.
So, if you're ready to take your solo filmmaking to the next level and want to learn more about creating captivating content that resonates with your audience, this video is for you. And remember, every great journey begins with a single step - or in this case, a single shot. Let's dive in, get creative, and transform the way you film yourself!

Totally agree !!!!!! Please Landon 🙏🏾
the afford you put in to have different angle was just amazing
Great video! Nice job taking over the channel! Keep the tips coming!
Thanks for this 10 minute BANGER!!✨ Loved it 💪🏽
Insanely well produced video. Loved it. Thank you
Wow man, you are awesome! Thanks for the inspiration, appreciate that so much. Due to your great tutorials I was able to start my content creation agency and now I shoot commercials for big brands in my country. I've also shot a commercial for Porsche, it was my dream since I started this journey 4 years ago. Thank you bro, you are the best, keep pushing forward!!!
wow, you nailed it, I mean, I've been thinking about how talking head is kind of everywhere now, so including this cinematic kind of narrative work into videos adds to the quality of the content almost regardless of subject, I mean, always loved the channels content but this is just Peak. keep it up
Great video. Love the new format!
This was the motivation I needed. Great Video
This is one of the best videos I've seen on KZread. Ever. Wow!
Quality is king. Nice video Landon!
This video is a short, but informationally dense masterpiece. Thank you!
even your tutorials are cinematic and are told like a story. Well done.
Great video! One thing that I would add is PERFORMANCE. Shooting by yourself means that youre the whole crew, director and actor included so you got to perform at your best on the screen in order to tell the story you wanted to tell 🔥
Great video I think more videos like this should be added to the community.
This is fantastic, many thanks!
Amazing video, helped a ton. Thank you!
The best video of how to film yourself cinematically!
every shot was magical. great work
Love the thumbnail! + Epic use of story and tips
Wow! This video had such an incredible vibe to it. It felt like I was having a personal discussion with Landon. This video is nostalgia crystallized. Bravo!
Loved the video! Very useful. Thank you
the thing is this video is done wonderfully that watching it bewitched me thinking, hey yeah it it that simple just start. but then I realized what didnt count was setting up those whole scene.. look how great the lighting is in this video.. that took time to think about it adjust your aperture, and all and then the post production on this one... oh my...
Great tips! Thanks!
Love this video. Thank you for showing us!!!!!💙🧡💜🥰🙂
Great Video Landon!
Great video, inspiring angles! 👌🏽
I've been a member of FTF for 4 years now and I'm so happy that the business went to someone who really cares about it as much as Parker did (does). Thanks for more great tips @landonbytheway!
Great video, Landon!
This is one of the most useful videos ive seen in a good while
You killed it in this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Master at work 💪🏽🔥
Definitely the best 'tips for filming yourself' youtube video I've watched!
The quality on this video is on another level
Great content. Thanks, man!
beautiful/ can't wait to try this out
Watched the whole thing!
Great video. Clear and thought out. There are somethings you will still need that you cant buy to make a quality video like this. 1. On camera personality 2. Storytelling 3. The ability to pick music to dictate mood and pacing 4. Experience I juat want to give people more realistic idea that getting all this gear wont make you him.
This video is amazing !
This was super cool.
best way to explain with good retention
Pure Beautyness! Cinematography as It's Best
What an amazing video 🎉

Well done!
Hi ! really cool and usefull video, thanks for sharing !
Wow, super well done. 🤯
Great tips ! thks
Nice! Will use in my next video!
So so good - all the little things in here, the short clips that SHOW what you're teaching without even having you say them... outstanding! Question: How'd you get the overhead shots? Looking down on the door, looking down through the hoop, etc.? 🤔
This video is so amazing. Color grade is soooo nice too. Awesome work Landon!
Nice piece of advice thanks
i always want to film myself, but can never get things quite right. thank you for this video which is very informative and i watched in full

Dawg, this video released two minutes ago. You couldn't have fully watched it without speeding it up to a degree where you can't properly comprehend it.

What mount did you use for the exterior of the car. Been looking for a good one and I’ve not had good luck
can we get more videos like these? I just learned a ton and would love to see more examples like that.
Incredible
too much perfection!
Landon has ugraded the channel to a new level
so I was just scrolling through some material for a client shot by a videographer I usually work with and I thought "Damn that is good, I wish I can shoot myself like that, how does he do it?" and a few hours later I find your video. talk about perfect timing.
One of the best videos of FTM
My Fav The vette...Lol Thank you. good info.
You inspire me
Nice one
this vid looked fire on my ultrawide
awesome work buddy. Great creativity I like that camera bag. what brand is it?
Nice!
Solid vid and great tips! Guessing you have these somewhere, but what LUTs do you guys use on your footage? Feels super clean without being over-stylized 👌🏼
Good morning brother wow that is amazing brother video always love your videos brother assaali from Kenya Mombasa Africa
✌🏻😎🇦🇺 AWESOME video. Love FTF cheers from Western Australia 👍🏻
I own that PGYTECH tripod and I used to own a C70. I would not be brave enough to mount the C70 on the PGYTECH and hang it off something. 😅 When you showed that, I had a minor cardiac event. 😭😭😭
Love your content man!! What is the name of the car mount. I've bought so many and they all get small jitters. Ur footage looked solid.
How did you get the camera angle from above the basket? Did you use a ladder to put the Canon up with the mantis pod or did you use a drone? Great video, loved the vibe and the cinematic shots!!
Great! Thanks for sharing! Did you hit the camera at the end??😁 just to know
