How to Shoot Real Estate Videos - Everything You NEED To Get Started!

[@shableep]

This is fantastic information. You're not just going over the general idea of real estate videography. You're going through the shutter speeds, ISOs, f stops, what specific shots. This is seriously an incredibly solid, comprehensive crash course to get going with real estate videography. Thank you!

I know in your previous videos you've mentioned you work with a Ronin S I've got the Ronin SC, and my setup (canon rp w/ 16-35mm f4) is WAY too heavy to balance. Would you recommend the Ronin S for heavier setups or is there a better gimbal out there that is specifically suited for what I'm looking for? (Sorry for the lengthy message)

Smart! That’s honestly what I would use if I was starting out. A lot of the same basics apply like learning composition, the benefit of different focal lengths in the new phones, editing, it’s a good way to start! Thanks for watching

[@UrbanSipfly]

When video shooting real estate, what part(s) of the house is a must selling feature, as opposed to what feature(s) can be sacrificed? What is the ideal length of real estate videos? Should agents be in the shots? What about others? Should I choose photography as a career path, I will be a late bloomer; however, I am a sponge for brand new information from young people...and I can't wait to get on the Yellow Brick Road!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Great questions. I’ll do my best to answer these for you! 1. Top selling features of a home are location, kitchen, living, master bedroom, specific unique features, then everything else. Sometimes secondary bedrooms + small bathrooms don’t need to be in it if the agent doesn’t want to show everything. 2. Ideal length is anywhere from 1-3 minutes. Depends on the size of the home for length. Doesn’t have to be super long in my opinion, shorter the better. 3. Agents don’t have to be in the shot, I have another video where I break down how to film on camera agents. It’s more of a preference, plus I charge more since you have to record professional audio, script lines with them, and much more. A regular listing video doesn’t have the agent in them. You can never be too late to get into this field, or any photography niche. If you’re passionate about it, then you’ll always succeed! Thanks for watching

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Nice! I’d still recommend this camera, or the mark ii version that I have now, both pretty good with low light. Or the flagship Sony a7siii/fx3 that are the best for low light scenes! And then a 12-14mm ultrawide lens that has any f/stop of 2.8 which would be best for low light. Thanks for watching!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much, truly appreciate that! Glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!

[@shem44]

11:22. For video filming, always use waveform and not histogram if your camera has it. Histogram only shows you the total tonal values of the image but not exactly where they are. Waveform on the other hand can show you the exact over or under exposed area of the image. Use an external monitor if your cam does not have waveform.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Definitely, most people shooting real estate aren’t using monitors which is why the histogram or zebras is there best bet. I have before but it’s too much sometimes for how quick some of these shoots are, especially doing multiple a day sometimes. Now I use the R5C and it’s so nice using waveform + false color in a small mirrorless style camera. Thanks for watching!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Epic! Glad to hear it, thanks for watching! Glad you're find the videos helpful

[@maxhighstein]

I saw. I learned. I questioned: You're recommending using a different lens for detail shots. That means rebalancing the gimbal multiple times as you go room to room, which I find to be a nuisance. This suggests that you might go through the house once with the wide lens for the main shots, then change lenses, and then go through once with the closeup lens. Is that what you do?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yes, that's exactly what I do! Sorry if I didn't make that clear, yeah that wouldn't be smart haha. I now also use a 15-35 RF 2.8 where I can just zoom in to 35mm or just to super 35mm mode to get more of a 55mm perspective from the same lens, pretty handy! But yes, otherwise I'll film all the wide shots, then go back with the detail lens for all those shots. Thanks for watching !

[@michaelfarley9938]

As far as frame rate, I'm using a Nikon D850, which does shoot 4K at 30fps, which you said that you use for the interior, but you said that you shoot at 60fps for the exterior and details. So with my D850, should I do my exteriors and details at 4K 30fps, or 1080P at 60fps? Thank you

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I would still just do 4K30! Having a higher frame rate just allows you to have more control over the speed of the clip in editing and better results for stabilization, but not a requirement. Just have to make sure not to walk too fast! I switch to 4K30 when I'm filming properties at sunset/dusk to let more light into the sensor so still works just fine! Thanks for watching

Awesome video! Couple of questions: 1) At what time you normally shoot the video? 2) What if for example the weather is bad, like rainy for instance? 3) Do you have a video where you show your camera settings and how you do it? 4) Does an APS-C camera will work for this kind of videos, specially in low light? Thanks I’m advance for taking the time of reading this! 🙌🏼

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Thanks so much! Sure thing: 1) if it’s a super high end home, typically early morning or sunset looks best. Sometimes if it’s a regular home or I have a packed schedule, mid day still looks good for real estate 2) if there’s bad weather, I strongly encourage the realtor to reschedule, otherwise the video will look bad, you can’t do sky replacements like photos ha! 3) I’m this video, I have a section where I show all my settings, I believe in the middle of it! 4) and ASP-C definitely works! All you need 1080p 30+60 fps. Even if you don’t have features like LOG profiles for my dynamic range, you can adjust your standard color profile and reduce contrast/saturation.

Would you ever bring your own lights if the house was dark? And do you always white balance for daylight?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I honestly want to try that, but it's more of the nature of this business where it's quick shoots & typically lower budget than regular video shoots. But totally could bring your own video light and blast it into the corner of the room to brighten it up like you would for flash real estate photography. I leave my WB at 5600 for outside, and adjust manually inside depending on the lighting that I'm dealing with. Typically 4000-4800K. Thanks for watching!

For sure! So if the primary video that the client wants is a horizontal edit, we shoot it that way and then reformat a vertical version for socials.

Honestly if you have a newer phone with a wide angle lens, I’d get started with that! Just need a mobile gimbal like a DJI Osmo for example. Other than that, an extra level preowned Sony or canon mirrorless camera would be a good start. But you are probably still looking at $1000ish give or take investment.

[@AudaryaisticPhotography]

I was re-watching your video🙂and three questions came-up: 1. When you do dolly (push-in/out shot) using manual focus, does the image go out of focus after a little walk towards or away from it? Would auto focus make sense for dolly shots? 2. I noticed that on your lens, you had the stabilizer switch set to off. Is there a reason to keep it off on a gimbal? There is no image cropping. 3. Lastly the frame rate, when shooting at 60 fps, I can record fine as low as 1/30th shutter speed on R6 instead of using 1/120th as you mention. Have you tried or noticed any issue not following the double-frame rate rule? Thanks so much!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey there! 1. It might slightly, but it’s not noticeable. What I do is focus in the middle of the room or towards the back wall, and then do the shot in MF. Since it’s an ultra wide lens, even at f/2.8 everything will seem in focus. For details, I’ll have AF on! 2. I did for that lens because I would get odd wobbles with it have IS on. Now using the 15-35 RF, I have IS on and it’s even smoother + RS3 Mini gimbal 3. I have noticed that you don’t have to religiously stick to the shutter rule, I just always do by default. I’d say if you’re editing in a 24fps timeline, make sure you don’t go below 1/30 but test how the image looks, maybe not below 1/50 to be safe. It may start to look weird if there’s anything moving in the frame, which is why I do 30fps inside at 60fps. Thanks for watching!

[@HomeandYacht]

Get the rf 15-35 2.8 lens. It's worth it.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah it definitely is ! I’ve rented it a few times now, would be ideal for this type of work!

[@arvindkannan8643]

A small doubt in the aperture setting though...when we open all the way to the lowest possible aperture, how do we set the focus point? Because, f2.8 or f4 would definitely have a shallow depth of field. And talking about the focus, do we need to set in manual or auto focus mode?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

True, but it’s more forgiving because we’re using such wide focal lengths like 14-16mm, and not like 50mm + where the focus is a lot more shallow. I typically focus on the middle or towards the back of the room, flip to manual focus so focus doesn’t jump mid shot or something like that. Luckily newer mirrorless cameras having focus peaking and MF guides to show you what’s in focus as well.

[@harrisongould9460]

Nice clean video. I have the gear...exactly, but I'm a stills guy. This would be fun but challenging. Do you ever address those 'led lights' flickering? Will the '30 frames/1/60th' rule fix this? Will shooting 4K24 with 1/50th help. Lastly, Canon's RF 16mm f2.8 lens is a sweet inexpensive fix as long as the editing software has Canon's lens profile software installed. Canon now can produce lenses with inferior true 'lens specs' because they fix it with software. They didn't that that option with film cameras.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Totally get it, but definitely fun! Yeah, sometimes there's no way around it. You can try adjusting your shutter even if it's breaking the 180 rule to see if it stops, sometimes it does and I'll do it for the shot. And yes, totally recommend the 16mm 2.8! While it does have a good amount of distortion, on some cameras you can enable the profile correction in camera for video I believe. Either way a great lens to get started with. Thanks for watching!

Hey man, glad you found it valuable! I use manual focus most of the time for the wide shots. I simple set focus in the middle of the room or so and then do the shot. Sometimes when using AF, it’ll jump in the middle of the shot. And then I use AF, just some sort of center point, for the detail shots. Thanks for watching!

[@jonstonham]

Great video, Andrei! Very succinct and informative. Winning combination. What drone did you use for your shots?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! At this time, I was using a Magic Air 2, and now I use a Magic Air2s. Both are great! Thanks for watching!

[@LooeyvilleSlugger]

Great video. Thanks for the tips. Wondering about lighting. Do you ever find yourself needing or wishing you had an additional light source?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! Sometimes, but it's just not practical to bring and setup lighting for shoots like this in my opinion. Using flash for real estate photography is much more practical since you're holding a small flash you can bounce off a wall and move on. Would be hard to have a powerful light on a stand in the corner of a room and move it around plus not capture it in the shot itself. I'd rather invest in a camera with good low light performance, lots of dynamic range, and a lens with a fast aperture. Then simply mess with the lighting to home actually has, like if there's a lot of natural light, turn on or off practical lights, and so on. Thanks for watching!

[@JJMOONMEDIA]

Thank you, Andrei, I just came across your video and I LOVED IT! Can I ask you, How one charges for these types of videos? Is it a commission percentage on the sale?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Thanks so much, appreciate it! Nope, just set rates based on the video content you deliver or by the size of the property is what I would suggest! We have our real estate photo & video packages divided up into sqft tiers so pricing is based on the size of the home since bigger size typically = more expensive and more work on our end to photograph and film!

[@TheShotbyMK]

Do you have any videos to master white balance and the settings on the camera best for real estate? Im using a Sony A7IV for portraits right now, but it does really nice video too just in auto. Excellent overview view video and the final product was amazing. Im a softwear developer for data, so im trying to do this as a side hustle.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks for sharing! Not a video entirely on it, only what I mentioned in this video about it. But I typically start at a 4800k and cool down or warm up from there depending on the ambient lighting! Thanks for watching!

[@showingaustin]

[@michael_grey]

I got the R6 and picked up the Ronin SC2 recently and having issues setting it up on the R^. Can you make a video on how u set yours up please? Would love your input on this. Thanks. Also, I got the 24-105 f4 with my camera. Even though it is a kit lens, couldn't I use the 35mm, 50mm etc on this (not a prime lens) to do my detail shots?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey Michael! What exactly are you have issues with? Balancing the camera on your gimbal? If so, here’s a short video on how I balance it. Also, is the sc2 strong enough for an r6 + zoom lens? I thought it was for smaller mirrorless setups. And yes, totally can use the 24-105 for detail shots! Even though it’s not a fast aperture, you can use a tighter compression like 50-85mm and get some nice detail shots. Hope this helps! kzbin.info3_XUsyI01tI?feature=share

[@ashleycontarino1354]

Fantastic video! I have a Canon T6i and having trouble finding the level in my settings and was wondering if you would be able to point me in the right direction? Thank you so much for your time

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey Ashley! Thanks for the feedback. Nice, I started on a t5i! Of course, so if it’s like my canon camera, you should be able to press the info button a few times to where all your settings show, along with the level and histogram. If not, you might have to enable it in your custom settings. I believe it’s one of the last menus where you have to turn on the level, I had to do that for the histogram on mine. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

[@christopherbuckel]

How are you using a polarizer without getting X crossing on a wide-angle lens??? I almost have the identical setup and would like to know. Thank You

[@AndreiRestrepo]

That normally happens with a variable ND filter, even though most of the newer ones have gotten much better at it too. But with a modern CPL filter, you don't get any X crossing or even really any color shifts. Lives on my lens! Thanks for watching

Hello thank u for the video, I would like to know what about shooting a walkthrough video where the shooting is continous and the illumination of spaces may be different from one room to other, do you still recommend shooting on clog profile for these videos? I am kind of confuse in that since I am starting and really the videography is sorf od the process that sacares me the most, thank you Andrei!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! It's just tough to do it that way since every room changes in exposure and white balance. You would basically have to do all auto settings and probably just use a regular color profile, like it would look doing it with a phone. I would still recommend doing it in short clips and putting it together in editing to get the best image possible for each space! Thanks for watching.

Hi Andrei any tips about how to get started in this industry? I mean how to find a job? Normally the real estate agencies ask for a portfolio but how to build it without have the opportunity to visit the property? Thanks

[@AndreiRestrepo]

You could start in your inner circle, like friends, family, and see if someone could let you get some shots of their homes. Also reach out to model homes in your area to do a shoot and give them the content in exchange. And honestly the best way to get started in the beginning is to reach out and offer a free shoot so there’s no expectation on the shoot too. Thanks for watching!

[@joydivine1659]

This is so helpful - thank you! I was just wondering what focus-settings you use? This is something I have struggled with.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Glad you found it helpful! Unless I’m shooting details, I typically keep it in Manual focus for the wide shots. That way focus isn’t jumping while filming the shot. I just pick the middle of the room and set focus there. For details, I use a small center focus square and move it around where I need to. Thanks for watching!

[@liyu_cn]

do ya use the vnd filter ? or just only cpl. the motion blur seems not that important though ?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I do outside, but only really if I’m filming lifestyle stuff with agents, like the on camera part I think I used a VND. But yeah, CPL 99% of the time especially because there’s typically no motion going on. Much better benefit cutting out reflections and deepening blue skies. Thanks for watching!

Great video Andrei! Just been working on a real estate video and got 2 questions: 1. Is S-log3 also recommended in darker areas? If not, what would you recommend? 2. I discovered some flickering of the lights in my video. Do you know how to fix it? Hope you can help me out. Again, my compliments to your video!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey Jeroen! Which Sony camera are you using? Is your slog3 8 bit or 10 bit color? If it’s 10 bit, I think it should be fine, holds a lot more info and won’t fall apart. If it’s something like a Sony a7iii with not the best low light performance as the newer Sonys and 8 bit color, I’d maybe try the other color profiles. Ahh, I hate when flickering happens! I see it when there’s cheap lighting in a home and the trick is to change your shutter before you start filming and see if a certain speed gets rid of it. If it’s already in post, there’s a trick I saw in someone else’s video a long time ago. Something like they made 3 layers of the same footage, at different opacities, by 1 frame off I think, and got rid of it. I think you should come across it if you look it up on YT. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@jeroenbntvlzn]

@@AndreiRestrepo I'm using the Sony A7IV in 10bit color! The reason why I'm asking is because I see some grains in my footage, but still need to do some color correction. Thanks for the second tip, I'll try it out. Keep it up with the real estate videos 💯

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Nice! One of my other shooters is looking at upgrading to that camera, how do you like it? Oh yeah that’s normal, once you color correct and bring the blacks/shadows to a normal level, you’ll see less grain. I would start out with using Sonys slog3 to rec709 correction LUT. When I was testing out the a7siii, I used that for a base and it worked really well! Thanks so much, appreciate it!
