I wonder what the correct use of the following phrase is?

I'm making the video of me answering several questions...

I thought that this was the only way to say it. However, I came up with an alternative:

I'm making the video of myself answering several questions...

What option is correct in terms of English grammar?

  • While I prefer the sound of 'myself' here (I tend towards the formal when not being whimsical), 'I'm making a video of Tim, Alice, Bill, Ali and me on the roller-coaster' sounds far more natural than the alternative. These are grey areas, and saying one option is ungrammatical is often hyperprescriptive.

  • Which meaning do you intend? “I’m making a video of myself that answers several questions…” or “I’m making a video that shows me answering several questions”
