Guide to Self-Filming

Posted: August 08, 2023

Although it isn't the most efficient means of capturing content, nor certainly the easiest, self-filming is an invaluable skill to learn for any video creator.  Whether its a backcountry elk hunt, or simply a new reel for your Instagram feed, self-filmed content can supplement regular posting on your social media cite or YouTube channel. Remi Warren, a POMA member and writer at Western Hunter Magazine, gives an in depth tutorial on self-filming in a hunting setting in this article.

Master the Art of Self-Filming

I have always loved filming hunts, watching hunting videos, and making hunting videos. Even as a kid, I always had a camcorder with me. It was a part of the hunt that I really enjoyed. I would film everything and then put together videos for my friends and family. As I got older, that passion continued. I found myself on more hunts, but I often did not have anyone to capture them for me. I either did not have someone willing to run the camera, or I was alone. Keep in mind, this was many years before the word “selfie” was ever spoken. Without a person to run the camera, I did not let that stop me. I chose to film my hunts myself. While there were many hurdles to filming myself hunting, I enjoyed getting my perspective on film.
