(I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate question, and I apologize, but after reading the similar questions and answers, I'm still not exactly sure how to answer mine...)

I wrote the following sentence:

I found some old raw footage of me singing [song-title-here] by [author-name-here].

I think that sentence should use "myself" instead of "me", but when I reduce the sentence, "me" seems better. For example,

This video is of me singing.

sounds better to me than,

This video is of myself singing.

Should the sentence I wrote use "me" or "myself", and is the answer the same in the shortened sentence?

Consider these sentences: (1) This video is of me* singing to myself. (2) In this video, I sang to myself.* (3) I myself* made this video of me singing to myself.* In short, it should be of me* singing*. – Jason Bassford May 07 '20 at 05:28
Does this answer your question? When to use "me" or "myself"? – Jason Bassford May 07 '20 at 05:32
@JasonBassford Thank you! When you put it that way it seems so obvious. :) – Mark H May 07 '20 at 05:32
