Why You Need To Film Your Life

that´s the best video about videos on this platform. Easy, simple, great style. Love it

I used to make little videos, looking back they were kinda bad, recored on an old ipod touch 4, or canon point and shoot.
I stopped after a couple years of dating my first girlfriend, I could never get the balance right between shooting photos and videos and actually being in the moment.
There is definitely a difference between documenting an experience and creating an actual memory that I still need to figure out.


I bought a Insta360 Go 2 when they first came on the scene after watching a few videos about how unintrusive they are, just press a button, and it should have been a hands free memory capturing machine. But I could never get along with it, it'd constantly overheat, and the battery life was poor out of the case. By the time I'd have got it out of it's dock/case the moment would have passed, or when attached to my head or chest the device would no longer be on standby and would take it a while to reboot before recording. Since then I have given up.

Going to try these out, thank you so much!!

Excellent tips man!

nice one. Easy and simple tips. I'm out shooting this week so thank you for the pointers

Great tips! I'm going to try to diversify my videos, so I'll give your method a try!

I have the non-X Ricoh GRIII also, and absolutely adore it! I thought about trying the X, but I feel like I enjoy wide angle shots more than tight ones. I can always crop in, but can't crop out.

I also have the poor man's DJI Pocket, the Film Palm Pro 2, and it has served me well. I was this close to grabbing the Pocket 3 from Costco, but find the size to be a tad unwieldy compared to what I'm used to.

Finally, I also use an Insta360 Go3 for handsfree shots. That has been a godsend. Oh, and when all else fails, I use my Pixel 9 Pro XL, which is also very capable.

Good video of the basics. Always a good reminder.

What a nice way to introduce people to cinematography

Love the tips. I bought a "cheap" point and shoot about a year ago, and I try to document everything. Easy to fit in my pocket. Also, unrelated but I have a vitiligo pattern very similar to yours. Cool to see.

Hello 👋 congrats for your videos and your channel 😄 may I ask you what kind of lightning do you use for the room shots? Any recommendation on this area? Thanks 🙏

I really like my tiny Fuji XM5 and Gopro 12. thanks for all the tips.

@Greiss so you think a zoom lens is the best way to go? Especially if you're travelling?

Camera slightly too high

I wish I could go on a trip 😢

One thing I learned from documenting my life is getting the shot of something happening, no matter how shaky or imperfect. Rather than trying to film the perfect shot but it becomes too scripted, thus, not feeling authentic when watching back after a few years. The shots I felt most nostalgic towards were the imperfect ones. Catching laughter and inside jokes. And when I focus on 'documenting', not 'filming', we remain in the moment even while the camera is running. And the camera becomes a part of the adventure, not a lens to pose in front of.

I'm so glad you gave some specific advice for us phone camera amateurs. This was such an inspiring video thank you!

Off topic, but your hair looks great lol

Thank you for these clear tips on wide, medium, and tight shots! Super helpful for creators like me trying to grow our channels. Grateful for this kind of content!

You think I can do the same with my phone ?

I’m not gay, but brother you beautiful 😊

sick video! any reccomendations for cameras to get, I've never owned one but have been looking lots on Fb marketplace just don't know where to start.

Great tips.. already subscribed after the first tip. The last tip made me want to subsubsubscribe if there’s such a thing, because I do the same thing😅. Take the clips quickly, then put the camera down and immerse in that moment.

Great video! just what i needed

I’ve seen a lot of these videos but yours is explained and done so well! The video was lovely, thank you for the tips!
