oh that’s definitely challenging! A storyboard or shot list is a must. Definitely pin a little note with all the shots you gotta take (establishing, wide, medium, close up etc) as a little checklist.

@Wysong733 20 дней назад

I have a question for you. As a filmmaker, I don't use autofocus mainly because my camera has a bad autofocus system that isn't really reliable. So, what is a good way to film myself with no autofocus, especially at an aperture of T1.2?

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.
