AC LABS: THE ART OF SOLO TRAVEL FILMMAKING WITH SHAWNE KOH

Travelling solo means total freedom, but filming yourself when you’re a one-person crew isn’t easy. How do you frame a good shot, handle your kit, and set up dynamic footage without anyone behind the camera? 

Join digital creator Shawne Koh (@shawneydepp) as he breaks down the workflows behind his cinematic travel films. In this workshop, you’ll learn how shooting alone can actually work in your favour. Shawne will cover self-shooting techniques, including how to frame yourself naturally. You’ll pick up practical skills to get in front of the lens with confidence and make your solo films feel more polished.
