How to shoot a Cinematic Real Estate Video | Step by Step 💰

[@Bradsmobilecarcare]

Great video! Be sure to change those smoke detector batteries twice a year!

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Haha!! Thanks for the reminder

[@anotherskeleton]

Alex Lewis Like that awful beep isnt a good reminder. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@roddnelson1519]

Great video, very informative! One trick I learned that I would like to share is hold the gimbal forward a bit so you are using the vertical motor to help keeping the shot stable vs holding it straight up. Thank you again, very helpful.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Great tip Rodd! Thank you for watching the videos, it's been a few years and deserves an update lol

[@yimmyniggi]

Whats the best camera settings for exterior in sunny weather? And settings for interior video when the sun is bright out? Thanks!! Love the content!

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey James! Thanks for watching man! I'd say always use an ND filter for outside shots, especially if the sun is very bright. It's a massive improvement to your image in harsh conditions. Beyond using an ND filter, I'd say study the sun patterns around the home, if your looking for a more dramatic, cinematic shot then shoot early in the morning or in the evening for the best lighting conditions. If it's not within the ability to adjust the schedule then use an ND. Regarding inside shots, I'd say try to keep the lighting as even as possible and focus on the interior, don't get hung up on exposing for out of the windows and making your image to dark. If you want to show off a specific "view" out of the windows expose that shot properly then get right back to exposing for the inside. I would not recommend using an ND inside unless you're in a very reflective room like a big marble foyer...most rooms in a house are dimly or moderately lit. Take your time on the shots and exposure for each room, white balance as well. Use this ND - amzn.to/2Hx6O4W

[@gurudeclan]

1:11 why the brightest part of the day? Wouldn't dawn or dusk give you better windows with interior lights on?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Great point! I think it has to do with your desired look more than anything. I do agree that shooting dawn or dusk gives an overall more cinematic image but if your working in a low light or dark space shooting at dusk will force you to jack up ISO. I'd say if you're trying to show off a "view" like if the home overlooks an ocean, lake, or city something cool than shoot those shots in dusk/dawn but for the majority of interiors I'd prefer to have the most window light available. I also don't like to solely count on the interior lighting because it can be very ugly or weird colored lights.

[@anthonyjriz3]

at 7:35 how do you do that down to up ? do you tilt the gimbal or use the thumb stick ? thanks

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey Rizzo! I just tilt the gimbal I dont really care for the joystick I feel like I have more control just tilting it with my arm.

[@anthonyjriz3]

@@anthonyjriz3 Haha! No worries man. It's great that your agents asked you to add on video! The DJI Ronin S is amazing but if your new to gimbals it's a pretty big learning curve.

[@mirkomihalj999]

Hey, can you please tell me what apperture did you use and how do you focus do you set in infinite focus or you set on auto focus? Thanks

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey! This video was shot with the Sony 6500 and the 10-18mm on AF. The Aperture was set to f/4 (the fastest this particular lens can go) It's an AF lens so I did not set a focus point I just the Sony 6500 on wide AF area. A few of my other videos were shot on the Sony A6500 with the Rokinon 12mm at f/2 and yes the focus ring was set to infinite and at 12mm everything is in focus!

[@garymoore3859]

@@A.Lewisfilms Hi Alex, which lens would you recommend out of the two? I have an A6400 and thinking of getting the Sony 10-18mm but concerned the f4 in lower lit properties could cause noise. I’ve shot quite a few properties now with iPhone 12 pro max but ultra wide lens has noise in lower light so not sure it’s adequate.. is the 12mm f2 better?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

@@garymoore3859 12mm f/2 - The APSC sensor is already limiting the amount of light that will be available for your camera, then you tack on an f/4 and you'll be under exposed every time you're inside.

[@eddieparker1680]

How do you set your camera to compensate for white balance in different rooms and for exterior and interior?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Thanks for the comment! I tend to shoot bedrooms solo so I can adjust white balance/iso for the rooms, but the larger rooms like kitchen to living area I just try to blow in as much sunlight and turn off any weird super orange lights. Hopefully that helps!

[@rubenchavez1747]

Thank you for the video! Do you shoot in Log? And why or why not? Thanks in advance!

[@A.Lewisfilms]

I shot in Cine4 in this video. Unfortunately, I used an f/4 lens on a crop sensor in the evening...so I did not think out the lighting situation very well durrr. I think LOG is overrated, I don't use picture profiles anymore, just standard profile and I color grade in post.

[@rubenchavez1747]

[@timothyahn8293]

Hey, So i have the sony a7iii. Should i use the 24fps 4k or 60fps 1080p? I've noticed most real estate vids are shot in 60fps.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey Timothy! I've started shooting in 30fps and slowing down 80% is post so I can take advantage of the 4K but still, have some flexibility in post. If the home your shooting is lit very well and lighting is not an issue I would say to shoot 60fps. It gives you more ability to speed ramp shots when I think is a very simple way of making an edit more interesting.

[@iosonoguerra]

Thanks, man. Shooting these videos with a cinematic style is the best, in my opinion

[@kellylynn727]

What are your typical camera settings for interiors?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

I'll be honest there is no such thing as typical camera settings it's always different, depending on the situation...nasty orange interiors...dark bedrooms...or very bright sunlight...it's always different wont be able to help you with that question. But if you have a specific situation where you'd like to know my settings that would be more realistic, Thanks!

[@kellylynn727]

Alex Lewis Ok. Sorry. Settings for low light rooms?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Runner Duck777 it’s okay! Open windows, turn on all the lights you can...I would shoot in 24p so you can lower your shutter and only increase ISO if you absolutely have too!

[@kellylynn727]

Alex Lewis Ok. Thank you. 😁

[@blackshelbygt500kr]

Do you use any flat profiles?

[@LikeAGentlemanPlease]

[@mklein345]

Alex...can you tell me what axis's on the gimbal are active. Are all three operating or just panning. My thanks.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey Mark, I'm changing the axis throughout the shoot, sometimes Full Follow, sometimes Locked and sometimes PF, just depends on what type of movement you want to achieve!

[@b3owu1f]

Do you shoot RAW by chance so that you can adjust things like white balance in post? Would that help if the camera could record in RAW?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey Kevin, I unfortunately do not shoot RAW it's a massive investment and workflow difference and my $500 real estate tours do not call for it. Although, for larger production pieces I will always shoot RAW!

[@perrycooper9577]

How hi of an iso are you having to run with darker homes

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey Perry, thanks for the question! With my older camera, I tried to stay under 3200; now that I'm rocking the Fx3, I've got more flexibility with the 12800 stage. I would always recommend shooting darker homes when it's bright outside and putting more focus on the rooms with better lighting.

[@rubenchavez1747]

Thank You for the video!!! Can you please help me with settings... While using the gimbal, what settings do you have the camera on? If manual, what do you set the Aperture, ISO and Shutter Speed? You'd really be helping me out!! Thank YOU again!!!

[@TV-pk7gx]

Great video ! what do you suggest focus ? (a/f , .m/f)

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Depends on your setup and the shot. If you using a fast AF system and shooting very wide, I'd say to stick with AF. If you are shooting close up details or using a wall to reveal the next room anything beyond just a wide shot, I'd say use m/f for those creative shots.

[@trosencrantz]

Did you have to do some stabilizing with all this footage? I was expecting to see more slight bobbing, esp with the speed at which you moved in the rooms.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

A small amount of stabilization, I only use it on %15 of the footage and when I do use the effects I only use it at 1-5% on clips and very sparingly because it can really jack up the footage.

Hi Alex, do you have any issues with noise? Since the sony 10-18 has an F/4 aperture

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Yes! The 10-18 seemed like the most practical lens when I first started but after a few shoots I noticed how the f/4 really killed the footage. I recently switched to an alternative lens the Rokinon 12mm f/2 and it help massively!! If the budget allows you I'd say purchase the 16-35 2.8 Gmaster lens.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey! 60fps - on Picture Profile 6 - let me know if you have any other specific settings questions.

[@facesplaces]

in profile 6, do you have it set to a specific raw setting like cine4 etc? also any recommendations for not overexposing? lastly, do you record in shutter priority?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Hey man! I do use Cine4! Reccomendation for keeping proper exposure would be to use Zebra's or histogram. Also, a external monitor will help they offer false color which will show you whats over exposed! I do not shoot shutter priority...I shoot in full manual mode, I would recommend NOT shooting in any type of automatic settings.

[@ilyamalloy]

Alex Lewis do you use shatter speed twice than framerate or more for real estate?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Yes! I like to add slow/quick motion to the shots which you'll need to double your shutter speed for proper motion blur! Thanks!

What about ahooting it on a GoPro 7?

[@A.Lewisfilms]

It's not a horrible idea and in perfect lighting conditions I'd say go for it. But the GoPro's weakness is in lowlight and if your in any type of situation where your boosting ISO over 800 on that thing your footage is going to suffer badly. Although that stabilization is next level amazing!

First thing I would focus on is a few portfolio pieces even if you have to do it for free. Once you get a few videos your very proud of then you could start reaching out to Realtors offering free drone coverage or discounted prices.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

I would shoot 1080 at 24fps and move slowly focus on lighting, composition, and simple movements. You can also do fun transitions to give the video more energy. For instance, a really simple transition could be to speed up the end of a clip and then speed up the start of the next clip it's called "speed ramping" to smooth out the transition. It's harder at 24fps but it can still be done. Personally I use Sony and I think you could get some great results if you purchased a Sony 6500 plus the Rokinon 12mm it's a great and cost-effective combo!

@5:10 etc you telling us about the walk with the gimbal etc while showing us a window view of how it looks. The result you were showing has post-stabilization processing done on it (its visible from the warp and auto zooming into the frame to maintain smoothness). Why show something that isn't true and mislead people on how the results of a Zhiyun crane would look like.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Editing is apart of the entire process, if I color grade the video is that also misleading people because its not the "true" colors? I'm trying to provide some helpful information for someone doing there first real estate shoot, I'm not trying to mislead people into buying specific gear. Maybe you should be more concerned with making your own content rather than trolling on mine.

[@mgr5550]

@@A.Lewisfilms > That's different Alex. Color grading doesn't affect stabilization in any way. (by the way if you were reviewing a G7 for its color reproduction and then showed color corrected footage then that's also false). When your focusing on the STABILITY of a gimbal which is the very core of its ability, showing post stabilization processed footage isn't exactly fair and validating you in good light. People shouldn't lose faith in you. You should build a brand of trust when you review these things. It can cause some poor soul to part with his hard earned money thinking the Zhiyun Crane will get him that kind of footage. I own one and it needs the ninja walk + post stabilization to make it look like those steadycam styled shots. The gimbal contributes only about 30% to the stability of the shot. Its more powerful as a remote pan head and for time-lapses. That is where it really does a job that we cant. This walk etc with a home made stabilizer and post stabilization will give you equivalent steady footage. Just saying, people believe people like you, so just be a little transparent in your review that's all. I hope im not coming off as being mean or something. Not intended.

Great video and you have a great website, too! However, I must say it seems "all about the market;" if I quoted $500 for any property in my area, the client would look at me as if I just arrived from another solar system...and hurriedly back away. No way, in Real Estate. Weddings like on Kevin's and your ALewisFilms wonderful websites? - yeah, 1200 - 2000 is fairly common here, though worth far more in your more urban market. One good thing here: Almost zero competition. Thanks for the helpful video - I am just beginning to learn at this point.. His and your work is just beautiful by the way. Thanks for the helpful video - I am just beginning to learn at this point. By the way, as a real estate photographer myself, I feel ya on those wall-to-wall mirrors (can do compositing in photos, but video? -Yipes).

Thanks for the comment! I appreciate you checking out the video and your kinds words about our wedding films! $500 is my standard price for Real Estate Tours in the Atlanta Market but It's not something I get very consistently...maybe once or twice a month but it's always a quick edit and nice payday!

@@A.Lewisfilms Thanks for your reply and insights. I apologize for being so wordy above -- just call it enthusiasm.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

@@AerialLensVideo Haha! No worries man I appreciate your enthusiasm! Keep me posted on your progress with learning video and if you have any request for me to make new videos I'd love to hear those! Thanks man.

This goes out to ALL. Before start shooting talking head ... you need to change the battery of your smoke detector.

Seems like you just copied Parker walbeck’s real estate video. Honest opinion.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Thanks man!! Appreciate your feedback.

[@ironreel9732]

Who is Parker Walbeck? And why is he worth mentioning?

[@pixelpearlproduction538]

Iron Reel it would be so much easier for you to search Parker Walbeck rather than to ask me and see for yourself.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Iron Reel Parker makes awesome educational content for videographers!

Honestly this video lacked a lot .. great tutorial but just another lack luster KZbin vid. It’s not cinematic because you have a gimbal and a drone . Cinematic refers to a video looking like a cinema film. You need a cinema lens, a cinema camera... and the skill.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Thank you Chris! I appreciate your honestly. I worked on this video over 5 years ago, since then I’ve learned a lot I’ll be working on an updated version this spring.

1. oh my god - what up with starting a video with ' what up' ffs grow up... 2. your smoke detector needs a battery 3. apart from that yep not a bad vid - clicked on a couple of your other vids to see but they all start with that teenager 'what up' (I'm trying to hard to be cool) phrase, so that's a no to subscribing sorry.

[@A.Lewisfilms]

Craig Mason thank you for checking out my channel, looks like your spreading that positive Christmas cheer!

[@JamesDailyTV]

[@spo5egy]

@@A.Lewisfilms I think he's annoyed that you're doing a much better job 🤣
