2544 N. Summit Place Northstar from Matt Waclo : Matt Waclo gave me an new updated url for his website this last week and I was looking over Matt s videos on the site and noticed a cool time-lapse sequence that Matt has in this video starting at about 00:29. You can tell this is a time lapse sequence because the speed that the clouds outside the large window are moving by. Notice that this is not just a simple five star hotels in orlando florida time lapse but the camera five star hotels in orlando florida is apparently on a motorized slider so during the time lapse sequence the camera is smoothly moving to the right and changing the viewing angle. Very nice effect!
Dan Kennedy, former Seattle Talk Show host expanding into Real Estate Voice-Over: I talked to Dan Kennedy this week. Dan has been using his voice talents helping people do online marketing for some time and recently Dan is expanding into the real estate video voice over field. Here is one of Dan s recent voice overs that he did for Dawn Leverett at Windermere five star hotels in orlando florida in Seattle. So if you need a great sounding male voice for your property five star hotels in orlando florida video contact Dan .
15 Claridge Drive | Weston, Massachusetts by Jonny Kim . Jonny Kim sent me a link to his first property video. As I told Jonny, I think this is a very respectable effort for a first property video. I personally like the slider and crane moves much better than the GlideCam ones. Especially the fast moving GlideCam moves down hallways. My suggestion is to cut out the hallway sequences to cut down the length.
Thanks for the nod, Larry. Voice is usually five star hotels in orlando florida the missing link when it comes to selling real estate online. A good voice-over will have a 40% greater impact on someone than if they just read whatever is written about a place, plus the spoken word can often capture the feel of a home and it s environment. I always encourage listing agents to ask owners what they love about their home. Often what they say can be wonderfully conveyed with the spoken word . . . And of course, great photos!
Johnny Kim your video was great! I love the mixed movements, including the GlideCam shots. I still haven t figured out why people in the real estate business need short videos . We aren t trying to go viral! five star hotels in orlando florida You are meeting the needs of the prospective buyer, and they want all the info they can get! If that takes 8 minutes to show a property video, then so be it! As a buyer of a property, I would rather see the whole property than be shorted half of it simply because five star hotels in orlando florida the videographer tried to keep it under 60 seconds because the average cat video viewer gets bored . The GlideCam shots help show the relationships between the spaces which photos can t do. When you sell a video to a client, how do you convince five star hotels in orlando florida them to use a video when all you are doing is slow panning left/right? I might as well just look at the photos. With GlideCam movements, you can sell the fact that you are actually five star hotels in orlando florida showing the layout instead of just random slow, boring pans of rooms that the buyer already saw in the photos.
With that said, I did find the video was disconnected due to a couple of reasons. First, the video transitions didn t match the music. The background track was great, but the video should take advantage of it and change scenes/views off the music track. Also, there were some transitions between GlideCam/Panning that seemed odd. Like at 2:25, the panning doesn t match what was last seen while using the GlideCam so it seems disjointed.
But keep it up, keep being different. You won t set yourself apart by following what everyone else is doing. Use the GlideCam to get from one point to another, and prove that your videos have value by showing buyers something they didn t already see from the photos.
From experience as a broker when meeting people for the first time after seeing five star hotels in orlando florida the video. It always amazes me how many time they watch the video . An eight minute video is considerable less than making the appointment and visiting the property which can take up to a couple of hours. I read somewhere that buyers will look at least twenty or more properties before a shortlist. Video will also help narrow down the final selection. By no means have we found the ideal video type , but I do know the questions that we generally get asked by searching home buyers. So trying to answer as many of these in the videos, which we are now experimenting with.
I am a big advocate of the video being short but I am a Realtor and I use video to sell my services to sellers. I do not document every nook and crany for the buyer. If that is why your using video your wasting your time because the only thing that truly sells houses is the price. That being said Johnny s video seems long but that is not a small house! I think the length is fine. I like using the steadycam and jib and slider ..think I will try that on the next one. While showing the halls is typically unnecessary that house has sexy halls if there is a such of thing, five star hotels in orlando florida so its fine. I think most folks are missing the power of video by not using a voice over not telling a story. That is what selling is and while I know most you guys are artists and not salesman Im ok with that but did a Realtor hire you? DOes the Realtor not know that a narration has more power than any video alone? That is what selling is and if the agent doesnt five star hotels in orlando florida want to hire Dan to tell the story or do it themselves (since that is really what they are selling) five star hotels in orlando florida then just focus on superb photography and forget all this video stuff thats my opinion, I sell Real Estate.
I appreciate five star hotels in orlando florida the comments. I shot the video for 15 Weston Dr. as a learning experience and it s still a work in progress. I m an agent in the Boston area experimenting five star hotels in orlando florida with video and new to using a DSLR for video, glidecam, slider, and jib. Post production editing, grading, syncing with audio is a also a process I m just starting to learn. I agree with Lance that I would have liked to sync the video and transitions to the changes in the music as well as provide a smoother transition between the glidecam, pan, slide shots. I realized before I started editing five star hotels in orlando florida that I needed extra footage, but I tried to make the best of the shots that I captured.
It was shot in under 3 hours and a lot of that time was moving and changing equipment in and around a very large property (12,000 five star hotels in orlando florida s.f. on more than 3 acres). In addition, the lighting for many of the shots was not ideal. I shot from around 3-6pm(sunset), different rooms faced different directions and had challenging five star hotels in orlando florida light situations. After reviewing my footage, I realized that in half my footage the contrast between the highlights and darkest shadows was unusable, or too distracting to watch. five star hotels in orlando florida Luckily, I was able to capture some of the rooms twice during my time there when the lighting conditions improved, but at the same time I missed many other rooms and many other shots that I was hoping to complete. I m plan to revisit the property five star hotels in orlando florida to complete some of the shots that are missing or not shot well.
I learned an enormous amount during the process and I realized many areas that need improvement as well as the shots that I thought five star hotels in orlando florida were effective. Ideally, five star hotels in orlando florida I would storyboard my shots at least a day prior during a walkthrough of the property, and have multiple cameras mounted on tripod/slider/glidecam to minimize the wasted time mounting the camera on the various equipment. Personally, I think slides and pans are overdone and look too similar to a slideshow photo/video. I showed the video to an agent in the office and he asked if I did the video using photos, which I found completely perplexing how it could be construed as pans of static photos.
You seem to have quite the opinion for someone with 15 videos under your belt. You will quickly learn that there are several five star hotels in orlando florida types of video and all work in their own ways, there is no right and wrong. Some video work in some areas better than in others.
five star hotels in orlando florida Narration, no narration, agents in the video etc are all additions to the video itself. Some video needs no narration .the viewer clearly sees what is there and doesnt need an agent telling them they are seeing a formal dining five star hotels in orlando florida room and a cozy living room
Good comment five star hotels in orlando florida about the power of visuals. Where I think the power of the spoken word comes in is the emotional angle. Along with price, most realtors five star hotels in orlando florida tell me that the buyer s emotions are essential to a sale.* That s why asking the seller what they love about their home is important. Things that can t be easily captured with a photo like how cool the neighbors are, or the backstory about that fabulous rose garden out back having been planted by the owner s great grandfather a narrator with a warm and informed sound can make come alive. See it, hear it, buy it!
I agree 100%, and the key is having good voice-over to be effective. I find far to many realtors doing the narration themselves thinking that they are telling a story , when in reality they are droning on and on about what rooms we are looking at and providing little more information than what the viewer is already easily seeing.
There is nothing more annoying than seeing an agent introducing a video saying hi, my name joe agent and I am so pleased to present 123 street, come on in and take a look .I mean come on, of course you are pleased, five star hotels in orlando florida what else are you going to say? Its an unnecessary 10-15 secs of wasted video time. Most agents should not be in the videos, it should be about the house and not the agent. There are very, very few agents that can pull off being in the video Julie Kinnear five star hotels in orlando florida is one that comes to mind. She is in the beginning of all her videos BUT is providing a ton of valuable information about the listing and the area and is VERY camera friendly. She doesnt drone on and on, she keeps the viewer listening, watching five star hotels in orlando florida and wanting more.
Every market has a use for video, which type and what addons is something five star hotels in orlando florida the realtor and/or videographer must research in advance and every house/situation is different. Anyone saying that one type/style of video is good for all listings is clearly showing their
