## Caption

It’s possible to shoot great cinematography all by yourself with simple gear and creative techniques. Getting inspired, finding locations, using prime lenses and manual focus. Step-by-step examples of wide angle shots, creative defocusing, b-roll, and faking natural light indoors and outdoors. Plus neon lighting and using with AI to replace the lights.
