omg, every time i'm out just shooting for fun, i will inevitably have someone stop and ask "what kind of camera is that?" and i purposefully do not go crazy with the rig i bring with me. so yeah your finding a quiet place to film, you nailed that completely.

[rawnavarro]

Pure gold! Thank you so much for sharing.

Man, you are THE GOLD! 🙌 I needed to find a way to film myself cinematically. I subscribed after 30 seconds of watching! So concise and professional 🔥

If you had a car, there is a way to NOT forget a tripod... carry a spare tripod in the car. =) Learned that lesson hard way. Went out to film, and forgot tripod. Propping up a camera on a bag was all the lesson I needed. Now I have a spare tripod or two in the car.

Yes, great points, I've also notice when I'm filming myself is to be patient with your shots.

thank you, your tips are very useful for developing my videography skills 😁

Trick for avoiding people asking stuff, or at least to mitigate it: use a vest of waistcoat saying 'photo' or 'staff' or something really professional. Trust me, it saves us at the studio a lot of talk and awkwardness. Sure, sometimes people ask what program are we shooting or sth, but you go with a 'sorry, we'll talk in the end' and they leave. 😈

Joris looking pensive or constipated, filming himself in the woods, wondering where he can go to the bathroom hoping no one will stop and ask him what he's actually doing. Which is burying more bodies. C'mon queen, you spend a lot of time in the woods.

[hiking-chris]

as always very valuable tips, and funny ;-)

[JorisVanDeuneghem]

Thanks dude, there are some tips that I can use in my videos. I only had people asking me what I’m photographing and what kind of drone that I have and if he could fly with it. Nope!
I try to get over it to film my self in public, but it’s far from easy 😁 thanks again for the tips
