Tips for shooting in Autumn PDF Print E-mail
Written by Patrick Nordquist   
Saturday, 03 September 2011 22:00
Autumn is a pleasant time of the year. The seasons start changing, and before you get to the frigid winter you have a few pleasant months to finish the year during the Autumn season. Since the seasons are changing, be extra mindful of weather conditions when shooting outdoors. Make necessary preparations for low light or overcast conditions when it comes to your still camera or video camera. When shooting Real Estate try to get the clearest and brightest day possible. Dreary clouds don't do your property justice if you take them during heavy cloud coverage. In addition, be sure to dress appropriately to meet the weather. Getting wet or catching a cold is not the best way to shoot your properties!

Many of us are "do-it-yourselfers". There's a certain satisfaction gained when you accomplish something on your own. This is no different when it comes to making your own video multimedia. However, as experts in this field, we feel it's important to touch on this subject especially when it comes to business-related multimedia. Unless you have extensive knowledge in the field, you should not attempt to make your own video multimedia for your business. Now this is not a statement to help drum up more business for ourselves. It's a truth that too many times we've seen Real Estate agents try to film video multimedia on their own and fail. What started as a "do-it-yourself" venture has turned into a waste of time, resources, energy and money! Real Estate Video Pros would like to list some helpful tips on when you should and when you shouldn't film your own multimedia.

 

When NOT to film your own video multimedia:

1) If you've never shot video before

2) If you are rushing to shoot

3) Only have yourself to help film the project

4) If you are not well versed in your video camera

5) Have no idea how to edit or how you are going to publish your video

 

When you can film your own video multimedia:

1) If you are on-site at an exciting event you want to share

2) Doing a simple, personal video blog

3) Have basic knowledge and experience of video multimedia

4) Have the time to devote to making a decent shoot

Why Youtube? PDF Print E-mail

YouTube has been very popular lately. We even recommend using it for our clients who wish to gain more exposure and have a place to host their videos online. Most people will be thinking, "YouTube? Why should I post my professional, business videos on YouTube?". The answer lies in the details, as YouTube is not just a haven for lame jokes and cute pet videos.

 

1) YouTube is Free: This is the most obvious perk to using YouTube. It's still one of the most reliable and free services around for hosting videos online.

 

2) YouTube is Popular: YouTube is not only popular with everyday people, but with computer systems worldwide. As long as a computer has an internet connection and Flash it can stream a YouTube video.

 

3) YouTube has search engine value: This is less commonly known, but YouTube videos have their own search engine value. So if someone doesn't find your main website, they may find you through one of your YouTube videos.

 

These are just some of the benefits of using YouTube for your business. If you have further questions please feel free to contact Real Estate Video Pros.

How not to take a video property tour PDF Print E-mail

For all those agents looking to do their own property video tours, click on this link and take a look at the following video. Now there is a prime example of how not to do a property video tour.

Streaming video is one of the greatest advances in e-marketing, but for it to work you need to do it right. In the case of this video, the entire focus of the video was on a snow laden creek. This is not something you want to show when presenting a house for sale. Keep it simple and keep it focused to the bare necessities of your property. Try to shoot when the weather is nice and sunny. If you have the capabilities, try touching up the footage and even adding a soundtrack to it.

Of course most of that technology is far beyond what the average computer user has. So we suggest hiring a professional crew to do your tours for you. You should see if there are any real estate video professionals in your area who can do an expertly done tour for an affordable price. The investment will be worth it!
