Bryan Hynes – How to Film Yourself Shots Guide

Created by Bryan Hynes, The Shots Guide is a straight-to-the-point, no-fluff toolkit, designed to help you improve your video sequences, filmmaking, & storytelling techniques.

Filming Great Stories Shouldn’t Have To Be This Hard

You have a great story to share, but it can be overwhelming to learn about the different parts that make a video great.

• Information Overwhelm
  You’ve poured hours on YouTube, but the lack of structure makes it confusing to piece it all together. There’s so much information out there it’s hard to know where to start.
• Not Making a Connection
  You have something valuable and impactful to share, but your lack of knowledge and expertise is keeping you from resonating to the people you want to reach.
• Lost in a Sea of Sameness
  You heard posting videos is the best way to market your brand today, so you started posting videos but quickly learned that standing out is not as easy as it looks.
• Not Enough Time
  You really don’t to want to invest in another video course which you know you’ll never finish and wish there was a quicker way to learn and be able to implement them right away.

There’s got to be a better – and easier – way.

You’ve already poured hours searching online for ways to improve your videos. You might have even invested in long-form courses, only to find yourself struggling to finish them.

So far it’s been a huge time and monetary investment for something that hasn’t provided a return in value.

But with every video you make or publish it’s becoming clearer than ever that you have the skill and capability, and that this is something you can do. You just need a guide and structure, something with clear, actionable steps that won’t have you wading through fluff.

If that’s you, then I have just the thing for you.

About Author

Hi there, my name is Bryan!

My journey to filmmaking took the long, windy road—literally.Starting as a drummer in Melbourne’s music scene, I then swapped the drumsticks for spatulas, mastering the culinary arts in fine dining kitchens. But the kitchen life wasn’t thrilling enough for me—I craved REAL ADVENTURE!

So, I dove headfirst into outdoor leadership, guiding intrepid souls through Australia’s rugged landscapes and around the world on month long expeditions. By 25, I was moulding young minds as a Tafe Teacher in Outdoor Recreation and Tourism, all while discovering the Japanese concept of IKAGAI—the secret to finding purpose.

This lead to the decision to buy a drone and a camera “a Panasonic GH5” to capture the epic outdoor escapades, igniting a passion for storytelling through film. Soon, I was jet-setting across the globe, crafting videos for top brands, athletes, expedition companies, and creating documentaries.

Now in 2024, my mission is crystal clear: To empower brands and creatives to tell impactful stories through filmmaking.

And with the “Shots Guide”, the goal is to reach more people than ever before, inspiring people to share their story, create change, and dream big.
