Long-form 3 to 5-minute videos can be created by most photographers and aerial video pros. But they can also be shot on smartphones and edited by the T&C Marketing Team in three to five days. All you need is a steady hand, a change in perspective, clean camera lens and time to set the stage.
Just like you’d clear and stage the house before a photographer comes over, to get a great video do the same. Adjust the lights, open the doors. Use a tripod or a steady hand and pan slowly from left to right and back again. Bring the camera down to chest or waist height to make rooms look taller/larger. Turn your smartphone to the side – horizontal is the best way to shoot videos. Don’t worry about sound unless you plan to do a walk-and-talk video. We can add music in the editing process.
Create a list of shots to walk someone through the house and around the property with you. Exterior front shot at least 10 seconds long – slowly start at the end of the property and get closer to the house. Take 2 shots of each small room and basic bedroom without a bathroom. Take 3-4 shots of each larger room and ensuite bedroom. If the closets are huge, show them off. Exterior backyard shots at least 10 seconds long to show off the pool, tennis, pool house, and views.
Upload the video clips to our OneHub FTP where T&C will then edit the video adding titles, room details, sound, and your contact info.
