Go for it! Drones are awesome! I have a Mavic Air and love how small and mobile it is. The connection is not always solid, because it's based on wifi. Mavic Pro and Phantom have ocusync and works better. My advice is to think about your specific use case and take mobility into account. Enjoy flying!

You'll want to build volume in your video business so you need to target agents with lower priced homes to charge $440 per video that works for us.

Instead of a heavy steadycam type device I just use my drone - I hand hold it - 4K/60. SUPER smooth. Light. Can do that all day :)

[@justonbrazda3846]

Mike Flynn try doing that indoors in a dimly lit room. Let me know how that goes.

[@hedbonker5604]

I have lights...

[@justonbrazda3846]

Mike Flynn and you move them around from room to room? Haul them to every house? You should sell the drone and lights and get a proper setup.

[@hedbonker5604]

You are right, Justin, I suck. You are the king. Have a nice day.

[@justonbrazda3846]

Mike Flynn just telling you you’ll get better quality with a larger sensor camera.

[@themikereda]

I read a lot about keeping the ISO native because it gives the most dynamic range, but I've heard you say keep the ISO as low as possible, I assume to keep the noise level down. Do you think it's worth losing some DR to keep the noise down? I use the Sony a7SII and in the SLog-3 PP every shot is incredibly noisy but the DR is outstanding. Wondering your thoughts here. Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@ditlonay]

Actually if you push your ISO too low, it can create noise as well. Native ISO has the best image overall for your camera, DR and noise (to my knowledge at least)

[@ditlonay]

Also, sometimes with sony log, it's grainy till you grade it, then it usually goes away, that's my experiance at least. I don't shoot slog3 (cause its npt 10 bit) tho, so maybe thats just with cine4/slog2.

[@curlsoncamera]

Every shot will be noisey but usually cleans up in the grade, native is aimed at giving you the best dynamic range but doesn't necessarily mean no noise as the DITLONAY says

[@themikereda]

Thanks for the response. I'm getting away from SLog3 because the noise isn't as much of a problem as the artifacts and the strain of the 8-bit image after grading. The noise isn't as prominent but it's just too messy with the banding and the weird color artifacts. Starting to get more into Cine4, but I'll remember to keep it at the native ISO. Thanks again!

[@luboyanev]

Hey Mike, I shoot with the A7Sii as well but I normally shoot in Slog2 because its easier to grade. I'm guessing that your shots look noisy because you expose Slog footage like a normal picture profile. To have less noise while shooting in Slog profiles its a normal practice to overexpose your shots because Slog preserves a lot of highlight detail which can be brought back down. Give it a try (maybe also google how to expose slog) and goog luck

[@NathanYounghusband]

Love your tutorials! So much insight and great tips. Love the bird chirping sound design to bring the viewer into the video and take them out at the end :)

[@skymakai]

Rewatching this after having joined FTF a couple years ago and becoming successful with luxury real estate video. It's so cool to come back and see that I know all this stuff now, and see how you present the info.

[@alvisterdsa4016]

Hi. May i pls know whr do u select the focus point while doing the interiors?

[@saiyan_princestudios9790]

Alvister D sa usually with RE you set focus to infinity (everything in focus) if there is a centerpiece or something really cool you want to focus on go ahead and shoot it wide open for those shots. Or if you need it 2.8 bc of low light and that’s the widest you can go go ahead and have the focus centered.

[@stewardsproductions]

Anyone know what song is in this video from Audio Jungle and Sounddtripe? I still haven't received a reply

[@arizonamediaservice7444]

Excellent video. I started shooting videos for real estate in 1979 on a 3/4" portable in California. It was a brand new idea then and I had a hell of a time to convince a realtor. I maybe had 2 tapings a week, making about 100 Dollars...LOL...times have sure changed. Today I use steadycam and Phantom as well but never had the time to do an educational video like yours! All I can say is BRAVO!!

[@jameldecasseres8638]

Thanks for posting this Parker. I learned a ton and appreciate you sharing your skills and techniques. Thanks a million!

[@davepov]

Overall, good video. However, a few comments... I've been shooting drone video for years and I'm certified. It's not a great idea to take off from a concrete driveway. The steel reinforcing rods in the concrete can reek havoc with your drone compass. Also, while I know you don't want to be in your drone shots of the house, you should still fly LOS. You would have avoided hitting that tree if you had. I also don't agree with shooting 1/125 on the shutter. I think 1/60 gives you a smoother look but that is personal preference. Steadicam type devices are fine but I prefer a one-handle gimbal, very smooth shots and you can pass it over objects in the house like kitchen counters for a very cool shot. I even saw one real estate video where there were two guys who used a two-handle gimbal. One guy walked up to the edge of a balcony, let the gimbal go over the railing then lowered it with a rope to the 2nd guy below who took it and continuing walking through the house. A single, very cool shot you can't get any other way.

[@cuddleslug547]

its been proven by many that your shutter speed should be around double your frame rate

[@erumaplaysvb]

He shoots in 1/125 because of the 180 degree shutter rule. Which means double your shutter speed for your frame rate

[@surfingfl897]

Also I’m not sure if this guy has his 107. If he doesn’t, flying a drone for commercial use is a no no. I’m going to guess he doesn’t because he’s flying with no LOS. Another FAA no no. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@erumaplaysvb]

Because it is a very wide lens, that affects the depth of field too.

Hi, Why in real estate videos everyone prefer natural colors? Clients don't like LUTs or any color grading?

[@ValdiValdies]

Why natural colors ? Because it would be misleading potential buyers if showing wrong colors. Imagine buyer coming to take a look at house it turned out to be different color.

[@user-st1ge4gm8z]

Jiffer Totally agree, but any cinematic look is it bad idea?

[@busimo]

Because camera's don't yet have the potential to capture real color. Do you think the footage from cameras are in real color or what you see from your eyes? So color correction is needed.

[@matwest711]

Cameras will never be able to capture "real color" because everyone sees color differently. Hence the black and blue or gold and white dress.

[@IDStudio737]

If I was a buyer, I want to see the “natural” look (color) under natural lighting as much as possible. This is especially important for viewing colors of walls, flooring, cabinetry, etc. Color grading and LUTs have a purpose, but probably not best for Real Estate- indoors. Probably OK for outdoors when used modestly

0:42 translation they're too cheap! 3% on a $500k house = $15k. They just don't want to give out any slice of their pie to creative work. They're from the school of Point & Shoot and cell phone photos they take themselves. And then they wonder why it takes so long to sell. Your work is very nice though! Not boring like most real estate videos I've seen.

[@Apollyon1111]

True, but as long as the market is so fast, they don't need great stuff to sell a run of the mill house. Once the market tightens up again, they might take an interest in how fast good photos and video sell their competition's listings.

[@anthonybanks2915]

taxes on 15 k is usually around 3500 - 4000 depending on what tax bracket you sit...Plus, there is other marketing that must be done and it will cost money....further reducing the bottom line. The rolodex needed to sell a luxury listing "fast" as you say is thick and will take years of experience and grit to produce. Yet you say the agent is "cheap"...lol...silly. I think the home owner should put the money up front and then the agent should reimburse half at closing...square deal
