american homes were made of cardboard. they look so cheap!
I like how every shot is so simple and lit up. Very nice work brother.
Mike these look frickin insane. Smooth as glass. Beautiful work. Love the transition zoom out from the bed to the top view of the house.
Thanks Ken!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography whats the name of that transition? in premiere?? thanks!
@@crosstalktv5780 it’s a transition pack I purchased: tinyurl.com/y8hdwn59
You do such an awesome job. A new subscriber, but already loving it
Awesome stuff thanks!
Great footage !
Thank you
Outstanding video!
Great video Mike. I like the clip you show - well edited, smooth, cut to the music and very polished (I've so much to learn!)
Are you adding Warp Stabilisation to any of the clips in post, or are just very good at the ninja walk?
Thanks Mike, and as always, keep up the great work.
Thanks! I didn’t use any warp stabilizer for that video. I do use it occasionally if needed. That’s why I like 120 fps so much, really looks smooth!
Love the clarity. Can you a SET UP video, ( best settings) just got a new camera, and there are so many "recommendations"
Good idea!
Your videos are awesome buddy. I have a a7s3 what's the best setting for real estate video. Iso frame rate ect
Really nice work bud.
Thanks!
Awesome shoot. I look forward to the day where you show your gimbal usage and how you do it.
Thanks! Maybe I’ll do a more detailed video on that at some point
Nice great info
Nicely done man!! Do you do your zoom transitions manually or did you source them and the audio?
Thanks! They are from a transition pack that I purchased: tinyurl.com/y8hdwn59
Great info, Thank you for your time. I shoot real estate footage for my wife, ( laughing I see I am on her link) anyway, thinking to upgrade to this camera. Wondering-
do you know if this camera when used with a Zhiyun 2s gimbal will still give you a HDMI output signal? Stated differently, does the Sony a7iii USB and HDMI simultaneously function? Thank you again for this great video and love your footage. Those people are lucky to have you as their professional.
Hey! That’s a good question. I have never attempted using both ports simultaneously myself but my guess is that they both should function at the same time.
Great footage Sir!! I am thinking about doing realestate videography soon,and wanted to know if you needed a realestate license to get started.
Thanks! Nope, no need to have a real estate license to do this kind of work. I don’t know any real estate photographers that have a real estate license personally.
Hey Mike … Your videos and content are definitely my go to source for all things Real estate photography..I just started practicing video with my A7siii and feel like I’m exposing the inside perfect but my windows are basically blown out… Based on your videos I see that the highlights in windows are very bright… I’m wondering is it acceptable to have very bright windows , I guess it’s impossible to expose for both windows and interiors for video unlike photos with brackets
Hey man! Yeah, not much can be done about that. I don’t pay any attention to the windows when shooting video.
Nice bro. Its pristinesnapshots from instagram :) nice video!
I’ve been shooting 4K 120 in the S&Q setting. Only 100MB and you set 24p or 30p output. Quality is stunningly good even at the reduced bit rate. Only drawback is no audio. Clearly not an issue in your case. Then to go to normal speed you just speed up the clips accordingly! You need the fast SONY card though. Try it! saves a lot of disc space.
Thanks for the tip! Yeah the reduced bit rate scares me but I’ll have to try it out. I use the S&Q for other non real estate stuff at 1 fps for like fake time lapse stuff.
Did you add any lenses for this camera? Which lenses did you use? Great video, thanks.
Thanks! Everything was shot with the 16-35 GM. My work horse! amzn.to/3i8Yc4a
Hi
Love the video, I was wondering if you use HDR for video, or is there a way to prevent blown out windows as I live in Spain 🇪🇸 and it's very bright here in the summer?
Thanks! It’s difficult to achieve that. You could shoot in a LOG profile to increase your dynamic range a bit but it won’t solve the problem. Also could bring a bunch of lights with you but that is impractical. I just deal with it and accept it for the most part.
Great video as always Mike! What's with all the beds? Foster home?
Thanks! I mentioned in the video, it’s a Jewish vacation rental home (like a kosher AirBnb) so multiple families stay there together. It’s not a full time residence for anyone. I know, it’s not typical property.
Inside Real Estate Photography ah yes I commented before I finished watching! Video turned out amazing, great work.
@@bradleymvranish5840 Thanks!
great video! Have you figured out what the best settings and picture profiles are? I assume Slog3?
Thanks! I think different profiles and settings have their advantages and disadvantages. Slog 3 will definitely get the most dynamic range out of your footage. Gonna make a video on this soon!
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Great! I look forward to seeing the video. I see a lot of hype with HLG profile. I wonder how that stacks against Slog3.
Hello,
Great video!
Do you shoot with a picture profile? I am fairly new at shooting real estate but own the this camera as well.
I’ve actually just been using PP1 for most of my real estate videos for quite a while but now since I got the a7siii I’ve been experimenting a lot more with s log 3 since you can now use it at a much lower iso. Video coming on that soon!
Mike, may I ask with what lens you shot this? Looks amazing!
Thanks! 16-35 f/2.8 GM
Great video, I hear editing in a 4k timeline is better. The quality and you have the option to render both 1080p and 4k.
True! It definitely allows for more flexibility
Hi, great videos and very informative. Just a quick question, how do you do the transition at 4.15?
Thanks! It’s from a transition pack that I purchased: videohive.net/item/200-pack-cinematic-action-transitions-sound-fx/21797912?irgwc=1&clickid=wxfVzQxISxyLRzJwUx0Mo38KUkE2W7UNUwe7SM0&iradid=275988&irpid=27795&iradtype=ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK&irmptype=mediapartner&mp_value1=&
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Mike, do you switch stabilisation off in camera when shooting real estate with a gimbal?
@@2009LDP I keep stabilization on even when using a gimbal
is the drone footage of different camera? It looks all perfectly the same. Great job
Yes! Drone is a mavic 2 pro
Base iso for s-log 3 is 640. Anything below that is extended range and is no different than just turning exposure down in post.
I’m still struggling to nail down SLog 3…been doing it for almost 2 years now…just doesn’t look as smooth and clean as his PP1…probably user error on my part with the videoing and editing side. What have you found?
@@AdamBrown I use cinematch to adjust exposure. I make sure to overexpose just a little bit. Tell cinematch that you’re shooting in slog3 but don’t tell it to change the the color science. Put your lut after cinematch to change to Rec709. I prefer phantom luts. The exposure slider is essentially the same thing as changing exposure in camera. This workflow is by far the easiest and quickest way to do it for me.
Well shucks. I saw one of your other videos where you said you shoot in HD because that’s what your camera supports at high frame rates and, really, for real estate video that is viewed mostly online, that’s all we need. I was very encouraged! But yeah, physics being what it is, it turns out that $3,500 cameras do yield better results, even if just slightly.
Don’t be discouraged! Yeah, it’s not a world of difference. HD totally gets the job done and does it well. After doing this for a long time I’m just always looking to find ways to squeeze out more quality wherever I can get it!
Do you shoot in manual or auto?
They some big ass file sizes
Awesome. Did you find the 120fps 1080 footage was cleaner on the a7iii than the 1080 60fps footage? Seems that way on the a7iii and a6400 to me.
Hmm. Can’t say that I noticed too much of a difference. You may be right though. With 120 fps I’m using higher iso to compensate for the need to use a higher shutter speed at that frame rate so if it is cleaner than 60 fps that would be a good thing.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Yeah it’s definitely a good thing I used to shoot 60 thinking it would be cleaner from letting more light in etc but I think the 50mps on the 60 is the problem. Even though it’s half the frames as the 120 @100mps I still think the 50mps has a negative effect. Either way can’t wait to get my asiii thanks for the input!
Hey guys i just picked up the Weebill S and its the business. Will hold any size wide angle lens and super smooth for 60-120fps. Just turn off your cameras built-in stabilizer. Also, be aware of LED lights as I found the high speeds record a lot of strobibg due to the Hz in electricity. I found that at 100fps in the UK - ruined the shot. Have you encountered that Mike?
Yes for sure, that's a big problem nowadays with LED lights becoming the norm. The only way I know of to minimize it is to tweak your shutter speed. You'll be off the 180 degree shutter rule but its better than having strobing footage.
Beyond awesome !!! Makes me want to buy the house... You accept FHA!?!?!?
😂 Thanks!!
I think the video would look much nicer yeah! Being able to crop with no quality loss is a huge plus... but my pc would certainly struggle with 4k!
Yeah, my computer can’t even play the clips back haha. Thank goodness for proxies!!
Hey Mike, which picture profile are you using? I find the only way to use the a7siii in real estate is Slog3 with 12800 iso. But, that is a pain in the ... as I have to adjust the settings every time to hit 1.7 exposure required. Anyway to make this process easier?
Hey! I use PP1 for simplicity sake but regardless, I’m manually adjusting exposure, white balance and focus for every shot I take.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography is there dual ISO for that as well? I find the only reason as log 3 to be good is because usually properties are not that bright.
@@rizi yeah you definitely get more dynamic range with slog 3 but it’s more work. The dual iso applies across the board no matter which proifile you use.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography what are the benefits for PP1
Also, thank you for your reply.
@@rizi certainly not dymamic range haha. Benefits are requires little color correction or work in post but you are sacrificing control over your look since it’s pretty much baked in.
What lenses did you used??
16-35 f/2.8 GM
Great video, but i must say, the vertical lines were bothering me a bit in a few shots
Thanks, I don’t concern myself with vertical lines when shooting video. When you’re shooting in motion with a handheld gimbal you’re not gonna get straight lines, that’s just the nature of the beast.
Can you shoot 4K 120p without a CFExpress Type A card, like I plan on using a lexar v90 120 gb card. Non SNQ mode 4K 120
Yes you can! I use the same Lexar cards in mine.
Please tell me where did you go to learn Photoshop. I am really needing to learn how to do all of this. Thank you for your time.
This all edited in adobe premiere. Honestly I taught myself how to use it over the years. TH-cam is a great resource for tutorials for sure. You can learn just about everything.
Mate, leRn from TH-cam. But heres the trick : Learn how to brighten and sharpen a photo and layers. No need for fancy 3D stuff. For teal estate all people want to see are nice bright photos. Also learn how to use a few of the transform tools to correctimages that look a bit wonky or need stretching. Hipe that helps.
Great video! You didn't shoot in S-Log, did you? Saw several blown out highlights in the lamps and windows which I typically don't see as bad on my A7III shooting in S-Log 3. Sorry for nagging but dude, your verticals are messed up in most shots.
Thanks, I’m not concerned with verticals when shooting video on a gimbal
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Amazing video. Love your content but you should take care of those verticals. It makes a difference. Sorry to point that.
@@efemerum all good, to each his own! I just don’t find verticals to important for video shooting and I’ve never had a single complaint. Also, if you or anyone else can shoot video on a gimbal with perfect verticals I’d love to see it!
which gimbal do you use?
Ronin S
Is it possible to make great real estate videos is premiere
rush?
I’ve never actually used Rush before so can’t really say.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography I tryed it. Works well. Only you can not reverse a clip.
I like the colour grading but i have noticed all your verticals are off. Why didn't you have corrected that in post?
I don’t concern myself with verticals for video work. Photos for sure but not video. Camera is in motion on a hand held gimbal while walking so it’s not going to be level. There’s no real way of correcting it in post that I’m aware of. If there’s a method you know of please share! I can’t really imagine how it would be possible but I’d be interested to hear about it if it exists.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography You can correct that in post using the corner pin effect. here is the result using an A7S3 with Zeiss 16/35 f4 vimeo.com/484558454
What lens were you using? is it always necessary to keep shut at double such as 240fps? thanks.. iso??
16-35 GM I use. I usually shoot at 1/125 shutter inside and haven’t run into any problems.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography that’s awesome thank you so much for the reply love your channel take care!!
@@crosstalktv5780 thanks!!
Why 120fps over 60fps though? Seems a little like over-kill to me but would definitely appreciate your reason as to why
Simply because I like the look of it haha. Nothing wrong 60 fps. Whatever floats your boat.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Thanks for the reply brother - Great video as always
Do you use this for stills as will is it high enough megapixels?
Yes I do! For real estate work the resolution is just fine in my opinion.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography okay awesome!
Hey Mike , do you shoot the entire video @ 120fps? Or do switch frame rates depending on the room etc …

Do you archive all of your footage? How do you store it all? Now that I switched from photo to video storage is becoming a problem. I have a few very large HDD but it is not enough, a huge NAS would be great but I don't have the budget for it. I might have to start deleting old footage.
I do archive it. I know it’s not the best solution but I just buy an external hard drive, fill it up and then buy another. So on and so forth 😐
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography thanks, that is my system too.
@@s2kologist been thinking of a RAID setup for quite a while but never pulled the trigger on it
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography yhea I want a nas but it is so expensive
Inside Real Estate Photography may be a dumb question, but I am just starting out... what is the reason for archiving everything, even footage from several years back?
Do you still shoot 120p? What PP are you using now? Thank you!
Yes I do! I’m mainly just using PP1 for real estate videos.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Have you tried HGL PP7?
You still using PP1 now that the update has PP10 and PP11?
I have still been using PP1 mostly but doing more and more experimentation. Will cover this in a video at some point!
What lens did you use to shoot the video?
Everything was shot with the 16-35 GM amzn.to/3i8Yc4a
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Isn’t the 1,1 crop due to the stabilization a problem? Now is your focal distance 17.6. :O
@@tocimereality9598 there is a 1.1x crop due to 4K 120 fps not stabilization. Maybe you are referring to the new active stabilization in the a7siii that crops in? I’m not using that feature so it’s just 1.1x crop and I hardly notice the difference.
I'm a little confused as to why shoot realestate on a 120fps timeline? I see you export at 24fps, so you're slowing your footage down by 500% in post. But given its real estate that's static by nature, wouldn't you get the same result by filming in 24fps to begin with? Im thinking I must be missing something
I’m shooting at 120fps but editing on a 24fps timeline and conforming the footage to 24fps in order to create slow motion. If you film in 24fps and slow it down you want get good results because the extra frames aren’t there so the editing software has to fake it and result isn’t nearly as good.
Who would want to buy this house?
Why 4k 120? Seems a bit over the top. surely 4k 60 is enough. Love the way the sony A7SIII looks so clean. I love my A7III but that A7SIII looks so clean
Nothing wrong with 60 fps but I prefer 120 personally. Dreamy smooth 😁did the same with the a7iii just in HD.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography Fair enough nice to know. Is there a place I can see your breakdown of settings for the A7III and A7SIII?
@@matthewosbornmedia8828 there sure is! th-cam.com/video/okMJMtKtsaM/w-d-xo.html
My opinion. 4k 120fps seems really dumb. Way too slow of motion. Much worse quality. you have to double the ISO. I've always shot at 60fps, and shoot 1/60ss for interior shots. Keeps the ISO really low and the 1/60ss is more than enough. I'm looking into getting the A7siii so I can shoot 4k60fps at 8bit bc I don't need the crazy flexibility of 10 bit colors. Too much file storage and slows down editing
I disagree! A7siii has a very clean image, it’s made to handle higher iso. There’s more than one way to go about it. If you prefer 60fps go for it. I shot 60fps for quite awhile now I love the look of the 120fps. Everyone has their own preference and style.
@@InsideRealEstatePhotography ALright, you do you man.
Hi...Thanks for the video...well done. Please for me...you have too many commercials. I am not being mean or rude...but I would not subscribe because of that. I wish you the best! Thanks
Thanks! I understand but a lot of time and work go into making these videos. I could just have easily made all these videos a paid course somewhere other than TH-cam that would cost hundreds of dollars. Instead I put everything out for free on TH-cam and the price is you have to watch the occasional commercial (most of which you can skip) so I can get some compensation for all the effort I put in to make these videos. Personally, I think that’s a pretty good deal!
Man that was awesome. Whats up with all the beds though? This house (as staged) is not worthy of your video skills. If I was as good as you I would walk out and say NO VIDEO FOR YOU
Haha thanks. As I said in the video it’s a Jewish vacation rental so it’s not a permanent residence for anyone. It’s meant to sleep a lot of people.
