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!
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.
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!

Its been only 6 or 7 months of me doing RE videos and it gets hard sometime to what to do and what not to , so i have to keep my eyes on internet for learn new things. Honestly, i love your content. It gave me confidence and helped with skills so huge thank you!
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
For the past year I've been watching your videos before each RE shoot I've done to give me that extra confidence boost to verify I know what I'm doing. Thanks alot for the content it's definitely helps!
@@AndreiRestrepo hey while I have you I've got a question. 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)
Great! Very simple and accurate! Straight to the point. Beginner real state videographer here from the Philippines. So happy we have the same gear! God bless you more!
That’s awesome, glad you found it valuable! I also have a lot more content on RE photo & video on the channel if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
This is just what I needed! Did Real Estate photography 10+ years ago, and now revisiting the industry from a video standpoint as the world has changed.
Glad to hear it! Yup, I can imagine it’s pretty different from when you did it. Vertical short videos is a big thing too for listings now if some of the agents have a social following
thank you for all this amazing info. was trying to figure out which lenses and a couple items to get to get started. happy to use your amazon links! thank you again
Thanks so much! I believe this is when I used a one off different music service for a few videos called Moods Sound Design, and the track is called New Morning. Thanks for watching!
any suggestions on what lens/cam setup to use for CONDOs specifically? Looking to shoot condos up and down the beach for my friend. Thank you. (I know they can be really really dark with little windows and sunlight coming in)
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!
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!
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
I have been a professional interior photographer for over 20 years working for all the top fashion houses in Asia. I have been asked to shoot a video walkthrough for a new Chanel store, video is something I have never done in my career before. I stumbled across your channel while surfing the hundreds that are out there and just wanted to give credit where credit is due, your video was informative, straight to the point and gave me all the information regarding ISO, FPS and shutter speeds that I needed to know. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, greatly appreciated.
Hey Scott! Thanks so much for your comment, I truly appreciate the feedback! Really glad you are finding the content valuable. Great to connect with you all the way from Texas! Best of luck on the video shoot, let me know if you have any additional questions!
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?
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 !
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
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
I'm getting into video editing for single family real estate and this has actually been very informative from a creator perspective as well as a what the relators perspective.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Appreciate the feedback. I have a lot more content on video editing too on the channel if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! It all depends really. This was a $1K project just for the video but along with a hefty travel fee. Our photo/video packages range from $500-$2K or so. You should join my community to get more insight on this business! Thanks for watching
What is the most affordable camera you recommend? I don’t have a lot of money to spend and know I will need to upgrade - but what would you suggest? Best affordable setup?
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.
Thanks so much! We have our pricing based on the size of the property, in different tiers. Our video work starts at $500, and goes up from there. This was around $750 + a travel fee since it was 2 hrs away from me. Thanks for watching!
Such a tutorial! Thank you so much! Do you have any tips and tricks what to do with camera settings if realtor wants a straight some kind of one shot video tour through the house? I found it really challenging because of the rooms have different lighting and wb, how can you adjust it while shooting? Auto iso definitely doesn’t work, too much noise in some rooms…. Thank you!
Thanks, glad it was valuable! Yeah those are tough, I never do them for that very reason! Best bet would be to just use a phone for that, I think the result would look more natural vs doing auto everything on a camera funny enough. Thanks for watching!
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?
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.
Of course! For the wide shots, I actually just flip to manual focus so focus doesn’t jump mid-shot. And for detail shots with my 50mm lens, I use center point AF ! 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!
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
Thank you for the great content!! I'm really interested in getting into real estate videography. Question, where are you storing your completed video footage when most real estate website don't have video footage? Are you simply linking to your private website or youtube? Thank you!!
Thanks! We just send the final video to them through dropbox or host it on our business's YT channel. They also share them to their social networks as well, especially short form reels of houses now! Thanks for watching
Thanks for your video, interesting to see someone else's take on it. With so much push toward social media content what is your process for vertical video & reels etc? Have you had a play with the Dji Osmo pocket3?
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. If the main purpose for the video is for socials, then we’ll actually shoot it vertical. I use a Zhiyun Crane 4 gimbal now and it easily supports vertical which is handy! In this video, I showcase how we reformat our videos to vertical, thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/FFKz9lPphgo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vrJP15ZajC_P_sNn
Thanks so much! The setup I’m using is a couple thousand. But you could get started with an entry level camera like a canon R8 or preowned EOS R too. Just having the proper lens is important! Just the essentials like the camera, wide angle lens, and gimbal probably under $2K. Could also start with a newer phone too since they are getting better and have ultrawide angle lenses too. Thanks for watching!
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!
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!
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!
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.
@@AndreiRestrepo While you're here: I've got canon 250d kit lens + 50mm f1.8, Zhiyun weebill s gimbal, Mavic air 2; Will this do to begin in real estate? Thanks
Nice! Definitely a great start. Only thing I wonder is if the kit lens is wide enough. I started off using a tamron 10-24mm lens that was great for crop sensor cameras. That or the canon 10-18mm
Great video! After 24 years in news, I am really interested in Real Estate videography as phase 2 of my career. I have the gear, can’t wait to get started. 👍
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.
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!
Would be very helpful if you could do a room by room video, showing how you set up your camera with different exposures and WB per room before shooting
Thanks so much! It was a track from a music streaming service called Moods Sound Design that i used to use, but now I use Epidemic Sound for all the real estate videos I shoot. I actually have a curated playlist with all those tracks here you can check out: bit.ly/40fzia8
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?
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! th-cam.com/users/shorts3_XUsyI01tI?feature=share
Hey! No I definitely didn’t, and for a good reason! You could charge, $100, $500, $1000, totally depends on your market, the homes you do, the clients, too much, and I didn’t want to say “charge this $___” and leave people thinking that’s a for sure rate. So I just wanted to purely showcase how to get started and how I produce them. My business charges $350 as a base, and aerials, bigger properties, twilight video, are all add on’s that add to it. thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! I pretty much leave it on for the entire shoot. Only time I’ll take it off if it’s a really dark room/low light scene since a polarizer darkens your image by a stop or so. Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
@@AndreiRestrepo Great idea with keep trying… I just thought there might be a direction to go in but… Who cares just keep looking for it. As for gear, I have the EF 16-35 f2.8, I can always use a heavier lens.
When you are shoting to edit, do you shoot the detail shots as you go through the rooms or after you have done the wide angle shots of the whole house?
After! Sometimes if I just zoom in to 35mm on the same lens, I'll do them at the same time. But typically I shoot all the wides, then put the 50mm on for details and go through the home again, but doesn't take as long since it's just details! Thanks for watching!
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?
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!
By far the most enjoyable and most complete video I came across on Estate shooting. Suggesting to use a Polarizer filter is a pro tip, not to mention all the others! Thanks ever so much Andrei
@@AndreiRestrepo you really covered so much, from gear to planning to user experience. I definitely feel more enriched and ready to shoot my next estate on Friday. Thanks again and I am going to check out your other videos too 🍻
Hey! Thanks so much. Haven't used the r50! I think it would be great start though. Just pairing it with the proper wide angle lens that can get the same field of view!
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!
Wow very impressed. I have a Lumix GH4 with a Sigma 18-35 lens and Meta Bones Speed Booster .. wld tht be too heavy for the Gimbal you are using? Its a heavy lens but I don’t have w gimbal yet. Great vid
Thanks so much! No, it could totally hold it. I use an DJI RS3 Mini now, which that wouldn't;t be able to hold it, and a Ronin-S or the newer DJI RS2 RS3 gimbals would as well. Thanks for watching!
Love this video Andrei, nice to find ya and your content, you were what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to watching more and learning. Thanks for your work.
For this video, I used a Synco P1L. Not bad for mobile audio recording, not much control though. I recently invested in the new DJI Mic and did a video shoot with it and wow! Blown away by it, definitely recommend checking it out since it’s great for professional camera recording and you can use it with your phone! amzn.to/3dOEQ8d And the synco p1L: amzn.to/3frpoiC
Andrei you’re awesome man. I’m definitely going to buy your products when I start this. Are you a real estate agent as well? If not, why not sell houses with what you’re already doing?
Thanks so much! No, I’m not. I have no interest in that side of it! Just like things a full time job, being a real estate agent is as well and I wouldn’t do well on the sales side of it, happy with what I’m doing! I know some that are both shooters and agents, interesting dynamic for sure!
I I were just getting started I'd look at either an fairly new entry-mid level mirrorless camera by Sony or Canon, or even get started with my phone if I have one of the latest ones. You could look at Canon EOS R50 for a very beginner level, or something like an R8 or the R6 I was using in this video. For Sony, I'd look at a Sony a6400 or an a6700 if I could budget more. Then just getting the proper lenses is just as important! Thanks for watching
@@AndreiRestrepo so I need to buy a DSLR / mirrorless camera (at least 18 mp) wide angle lens (at least 17mm on a full frame / 10mm on aps-c). What camera should I get? Sorry I should of asked this first
Unfortuently that won't be wide enough! I had trouble getting the proper shots with an 18mm so 24mm wouldn't be wide enough. I would look to et a pre-owned wide angle lens to not break the bank to get started. Thanks for watching!
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
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!
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!
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!
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! 🙌🏼
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. Check out this video as well! More real estate video info: th-cam.com/video/Laod5Hy8pMQ/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching!
Great video! Thorough and so great for to add to the arsenal, doesn't seem so foreign with your amazing direction! I will definitely be planning gear for this industry of photography and also hope to get my toes wet with what I have! Finally video is superb. 👍
Good morning.. i just found your video.. i was looking at your recomend gear and notice you have a vnd filter as well. So do you stack your cpl and vnd filter when you shoot your videos?
I only use a VND outside, but honestly just if I'm filming an agent talking to have the correct shutter speed. If I'm just filming the house, a CPL filter is more beneficial inside and outside, plus practically nothing is moving in the frame as well. So I'd honestly recommend just using a CPL! Thanks for watching
Thanks so much! If I remember correctly this was a $750-$1K project. Usually takes me about 4-8 hrs to do a video like this and I like to do it in a few different sittings, not all at once. Thanks for watching!
hi there! you mention about prefer to use f2.8 lens. doesn´t that causes too much out of focus scene? isnt it better to shoot f4 or f8 if camera allows it?
It’s doesn’t as you can see from the clips in the video, because you’re dealing with such a wide field of view. Not like a 35mm lens at f/2.8. But yes, you can definitely film at a narrower aperture like f4+ if the scene is bright enough, like outside. 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!
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!
@@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 💯
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!
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!
Thanks so much! Truly appreciate the feedback, glad you found it valuable!
Y 😢. 😅Si
Love that you added the finished video at the end, so many channels just tell you how to do it and dont show how it all fits together
Hey Tyler! Thanks so much. I agree 100%, I’ve found myself thinking the same thing when I watch other videos! Thanks for watching.
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.
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!

I'm just getting started in the real estate side of photography/videography, and this was very insightful!
Thanks so much, appreciate it greatly!
For the past year I've been watching your videos before each RE shoot I've done to give me that extra confidence boost to verify I know what I'm doing. Thanks alot for the content it's definitely helps!
Hey! Thanks so much, I truly appreciate hearing that you find the videos helpful! Appreciate your comment greatly!
@@AndreiRestrepo hey while I have you I've got a question. 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)
Great! Very simple and accurate! Straight to the point. Beginner real state videographer here from the Philippines. So happy we have the same gear! God bless you more!
That’s awesome, glad you found it valuable! I also have a lot more content on RE photo & video on the channel if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
This is just what I needed! Did Real Estate photography 10+ years ago, and now revisiting the industry from a video standpoint as the world has changed.
Glad to hear it! Yup, I can imagine it’s pretty different from when you did it. Vertical short videos is a big thing too for listings now if some of the agents have a social following
Gosh that opening sunset shot was straight fire!!
Hey Oscar! Thanks so much, I remember the second I saw that I was like oh man I can’t wait to use this clip. Haha Thanks so much for watching!
thank you for all this amazing info. was trying to figure out which lenses and a couple items to get to get started. happy to use your amazon links! thank you again
Thanks so much, truly appreciate that! Glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!
Love this!!! Thank you so much!! Now to write everything down😊
Welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
Great video. What's the name of the song from the final edit? Can't find it anywhere.
Thanks so much! I believe this is when I used a one off different music service for a few videos called Moods Sound Design, and the track is called New Morning. Thanks for watching!
any suggestions on what lens/cam setup to use for CONDOs specifically? Looking to shoot condos up and down the beach for my friend. Thank you.
(I know they can be really really dark with little windows and sunlight coming in)
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!
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!
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
I have been a professional interior photographer for over 20 years working for all the top fashion houses in Asia. I have been asked to shoot a video walkthrough for a new Chanel store, video is something I have never done in my career before. I stumbled across your channel while surfing the hundreds that are out there and just wanted to give credit where credit is due, your video was informative, straight to the point and gave me all the information regarding ISO, FPS and shutter speeds that I needed to know. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge, greatly appreciated.
Hey Scott! Thanks so much for your comment, I truly appreciate the feedback! Really glad you are finding the content valuable. Great to connect with you all the way from Texas! Best of luck on the video shoot, let me know if you have any additional questions!
Just to say thanks for this.
Appreciate it very greatly!! Thank you, glad you found it valuable. 🙌🏻
Watched this twice! Super helpful tips!
Awesome, glad to hear it! Thanks so much 😊
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?
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 !
Just said to my wife, this is what I need to be able to produce. Fantastic video man, and your final edit is just incredible. Well done sir.
Hey man! Thanks so much, I truly appreciate that! What kind of work do you produce right now? Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Hey Kyle! Appreciate the Super Thanks greatly! Glad the video was valuable! 😄
Bra I already know how to shoot a real estate video, last episode of South Park taught me.
Omg my friend showed me that, too funny and spot on 😂
😂😂😂😂
@@AndreiRestrepo Link me to the episode y'all talking about. Please 🥺 🙏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@AndreiRestrepocan u shoot videos with the Sony alpha 1
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
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
Thanks man very helpful. I’m looking to get into real estate video.
Hey! That’s awesome, glad it was valuable! Thanks for watching

Thanks so much! Glad you found it valuable
Just got back from my first property shoot - this video and your others helped a ton. Thanks so much!
Epic! Glad to hear it, thanks for watching! Glad you're find the videos helpful
I'm getting into video editing for single family real estate and this has actually been very informative from a creator perspective as well as a what the relators perspective.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Appreciate the feedback. I have a lot more content on video editing too on the channel if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
Really great info. You are amazing. How much do you charge to shoot a house like this, including stills, video and some drone footage? I have no idea!
Thanks! It all depends really. This was a $1K project just for the video but along with a hefty travel fee. Our photo/video packages range from $500-$2K or so. You should join my community to get more insight on this business! Thanks for watching
What is the most affordable camera you recommend? I don’t have a lot of money to spend and know I will need to upgrade - but what would you suggest? Best affordable setup?
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.
Not bad! Hope I get to this point one day
You definitely can! Thanks for watching
Amazing video. Curious about how you priced this shoot? If you can share any tips that’d be brilliant
Thanks so much! We have our pricing based on the size of the property, in different tiers. Our video work starts at $500, and goes up from there. This was around $750 + a travel fee since it was 2 hrs away from me. Thanks for watching!
Such a tutorial! Thank you so much! Do you have any tips and tricks what to do with camera settings if realtor wants a straight some kind of one shot video tour through the house? I found it really challenging because of the rooms have different lighting and wb, how can you adjust it while shooting? Auto iso definitely doesn’t work, too much noise in some rooms…. Thank you!
Thanks, glad it was valuable! Yeah those are tough, I never do them for that very reason! Best bet would be to just use a phone for that, I think the result would look more natural vs doing auto everything on a camera funny enough. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks! Great idea, I never even thought to use phone for this situations! You’re the man!
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?
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.
This is realy helpfull boss.. thank you soomuch for this .. ❤❤❤
Glad to hear it! I have a lot more RE content on my channel if you’re interested. Thanks so much!
Thanks for posting. Did I miss how you use auto focus settings?
Of course! For the wide shots, I actually just flip to manual focus so focus doesn’t jump mid-shot. And for detail shots with my 50mm lens, I use center point AF ! Thanks for watching
Thanks man. Very informative. What focus mode /setting you use tor video. Thank you
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!
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
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
Thanks 🙏 I really like it . Simple and clean
Appreciate it! Glad you found it valuable. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great content!! I'm really interested in getting into real estate videography. Question, where are you storing your completed video footage when most real estate website
don't have video footage? Are you simply linking to your private website or youtube? Thank you!!
Thanks! We just send the final video to them through dropbox or host it on our business's YT channel. They also share them to their social networks as well, especially short form reels of houses now! Thanks for watching
Thanks for your video, interesting to see someone else's take on it. With so much push toward social media content what is your process for vertical video & reels etc? Have you had a play with the Dji Osmo pocket3?
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. If the main purpose for the video is for socials, then we’ll actually shoot it vertical. I use a Zhiyun Crane 4 gimbal now and it easily supports vertical which is handy! In this video, I showcase how we reformat our videos to vertical, thanks for watching! th-cam.com/video/FFKz9lPphgo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vrJP15ZajC_P_sNn
Great video. Just to get an idea how much does the tech cost for camera and accessories? Thanks.
Thanks so much! The setup I’m using is a couple thousand. But you could get started with an entry level camera like a canon R8 or preowned EOS R too. Just having the proper lens is important! Just the essentials like the camera, wide angle lens, and gimbal probably under $2K. Could also start with a newer phone too since they are getting better and have ultrawide angle lenses too. Thanks for watching!
Great video, Andrei! Very succinct and informative. Winning combination. What drone did you use for your shots?
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!
Nice video, do you make interviews, I would like a video where you can mix real state plus interview
Thanks! Check out this video where I do share some info on that! th-cam.com/video/md4zK_Xuf3I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Yg3w86w8twK93-E4
do ya use the vnd filter ? or just only cpl. the motion blur seems not that important though ?
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!
Would you ever bring your own lights if the house was dark? And do you always white balance for daylight?
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!
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!
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.
Great video bud!
Learned a lot!
Thanks so much, appreciate it!
@@AndreiRestrepo While you're here: I've got canon 250d kit lens + 50mm f1.8, Zhiyun weebill s gimbal, Mavic air 2; Will this do to begin in real estate? Thanks
Nice! Definitely a great start. Only thing I wonder is if the kit lens is wide enough. I started off using a tamron 10-24mm lens that was great for crop sensor cameras. That or the canon 10-18mm
@@AndreiRestrepo thank you!
I'll try to find one of those.
In the meantime, I'll keep watching your videos and learn.
So happy I found you!

Thanks so much! Adobe Premiere Pro, but also Final Cut and davinci resolve are great options too. Thanks for watching!
Great video! After 24 years in news, I am really interested in Real Estate videography as phase 2 of my career. I have the gear, can’t wait to get started. 👍

Thank you, amazing explanation.
What song is that you used at the 8 minute mark when the #4 slide pipes up. That’s perfect for video I’m doing now.
Hey man! Appreciate the feedback! You got it, it’s “Nanda Devi - Ooyy” on epidemic sound!
@@AndreiRestrepo grateful for the response man. You’ve genuinely made an impact with your video. Helped me a lot thank you!
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.
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!
Would be very helpful if you could do a room by room video, showing how you set up your camera with different exposures and WB per room before shooting
Yes, this is great video idea! Thanks for watching
very helpful video, Thanks a lot. May I have the music name you used in the finial edited video? and where can I find such good music for my videos?
Thanks so much! It was a track from a music streaming service called Moods Sound Design that i used to use, but now I use Epidemic Sound for all the real estate videos I shoot. I actually have a curated playlist with all those tracks here you can check out: bit.ly/40fzia8

Hey Trevor! Appreciate it, glad you’re finding valuable!
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?
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! th-cam.com/users/shorts3_XUsyI01tI?feature=share

Nicely done! To the point and lots of value information! Great work!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching!
You did not include what is most important... Rates and charges? how much to charge and what you recommend, strategies etc $$$
Hey! No I definitely didn’t, and for a good reason! You could charge, $100, $500, $1000, totally depends on your market, the homes you do, the clients, too much, and I didn’t want to say “charge this $___” and leave people thinking that’s a for sure rate. So I just wanted to purely showcase how to get started and how I produce them. My business charges $350 as a base, and aerials, bigger properties, twilight video, are all add on’s that add to it. thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo @Andrei Restrepo Awesome, appreciate ur response thanks.
Nice work man! My r6 doesn’t seem to do as well In low light. Wow!
Really? I always found it performed pretty well in low light! What lens are you using? Thanks for watching!
Thanks bro good video. Do you use the polarizer only for areas with the windows & harsh lighting on the floors?
Thanks so much! I pretty much leave it on for the entire shoot. Only time I’ll take it off if it’s a really dark room/low light scene since a polarizer darkens your image by a stop or so. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo cool thanks 👌
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.
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!
@@AndreiRestrepo Great idea with keep trying… I just thought there might be a direction to go in but… Who cares just keep looking for it. As for gear, I have the EF 16-35 f2.8, I can always use a heavier lens.
When you are shoting to edit, do you shoot the detail shots as you go through the rooms or after you have done the wide angle shots of the whole house?
After! Sometimes if I just zoom in to 35mm on the same lens, I'll do them at the same time. But typically I shoot all the wides, then put the 50mm on for details and go through the home again, but doesn't take as long since it's just details! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the insite
loved this video
Thanks so much, really appreciate it!
Awesome video my friend thanks for sharing
Thanks for the comment, glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!
love the video. very helpful. IS it ok to add texts/voiceover describing the house for a real estate video?
Thanks so much! Absolutely, I usually ask the agent if they want any specific titles or descriptions throughout the video. Thanks for watching!
Im not even interested in photography but i really enjoy watching your videos
Wow, what a compliment! I appreciate you, thanks so much :)
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?
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!
By far the most enjoyable and most complete video I came across on Estate shooting. Suggesting to use a Polarizer filter is a pro tip, not to mention all the others! Thanks ever so much Andrei
Thanks so much, truly appreciate it! Glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!
@@AndreiRestrepo you really covered so much, from gear to planning to user experience. I definitely feel more enriched and ready to shoot my next estate on Friday. Thanks again and I am going to check out your other videos too 🍻
Great video, what’s your thoughts on the canon R50 as appose to the R6
Hey! Thanks so much. Haven't used the r50! I think it would be great start though. Just pairing it with the proper wide angle lens that can get the same field of view!
Great video. Thanks for the tips. Wondering about lighting. Do you ever find yourself needing or wishing you had an additional light source?
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!
Wow very impressed. I have a Lumix GH4 with a Sigma 18-35 lens and Meta Bones Speed Booster .. wld tht be too heavy for the Gimbal you are using? Its a heavy lens but I don’t have w gimbal yet. Great vid
Thanks so much! No, it could totally hold it. I use an DJI RS3 Mini now, which that wouldn't;t be able to hold it, and a Ronin-S or the newer DJI RS2 RS3 gimbals would as well. Thanks for watching!
Love this video Andrei, nice to find ya and your content, you were what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to watching more and learning. Thanks for your work.
Hey Max! Really appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!
Andrei, I have a chance to pick up a Sony A7 III for a really good price. Is that an ok camera for starting off? Thank you
Hey Cory! Absolutely a great camera to get started with this type of content. More importantly, find the right lens and you’ll be set!
@@AndreiRestrepo, I have a chance to pick up a 16-35 Sony Zeiss lens fe4 . Do you recommend that for video?
Which wireless mic usually do you use it ?
For this video, I used a Synco P1L. Not bad for mobile audio recording, not much control though. I recently invested in the new DJI Mic and did a video shoot with it and wow! Blown away by it, definitely recommend checking it out since it’s great for professional camera recording and you can use it with your phone! amzn.to/3dOEQ8d
And the synco p1L: amzn.to/3frpoiC
Andrei you’re awesome man. I’m definitely going to buy your products when I start this.
Are you a real estate agent as well? If not, why not sell houses with what you’re already doing?
Thanks so much! No, I’m not. I have no interest in that side of it! Just like things a full time job, being a real estate agent is as well and I wouldn’t do well on the sales side of it, happy with what I’m doing! I know some that are both shooters and agents, interesting dynamic for sure!
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks for your insight.
As a starter, which camera is best? If you have multiple options of cameras which camera are those?
I I were just getting started I'd look at either an fairly new entry-mid level mirrorless camera by Sony or Canon, or even get started with my phone if I have one of the latest ones. You could look at Canon EOS R50 for a very beginner level, or something like an R8 or the R6 I was using in this video. For Sony, I'd look at a Sony a6400 or an a6700 if I could budget more. Then just getting the proper lenses is just as important! Thanks for watching
@@AndreiRestrepo so I need to buy a DSLR / mirrorless camera (at least 18 mp) wide angle lens (at least 17mm on a full frame / 10mm on aps-c). What camera should I get? Sorry I should of asked this first
I would look at the canon r50, r10, or a preowned EOS R! you can also check out mpb.com for preowned gear, that's where I get some gear too!
So useful! 👏 I am a realtor in Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks so much! Cheers from TX!
The only lens I have is a 24-70 2.8 should i wait to get a wider lens to get started?
Unfortuently that won't be wide enough! I had trouble getting the proper shots with an 18mm so 24mm wouldn't be wide enough. I would look to et a pre-owned wide angle lens to not break the bank to get started. Thanks for watching!

Great work. What market are you in, Austin?
Thanks Frank! No, Houston and surrounding areas. I was brought out for this listing in Austin by one of my realtors. Thanks for watching!
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
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!
Thanks for the video! I plan on using my Canon m50 mark ii for real estate photography & videography so this was a gem!
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate the feedback, let me know if you have any other questions!
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!
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!
I need help I have an Xt3 and used a 3 bracket system, but when i merge it in light room it came out very underexposed? do i need a flashlight maybe
Hey! Hmm, did you properly expose the first image before the Bracketing sequence? How many stops apart are the brackets? 3 or 5 brackets?
@@AndreiRestrepo No i just left it all on auto? I chose 3 brackets. the room i tested didnt have much light in
Gotcha! Check out this video sheets I dive into the exact settings I use for bracketing hdr shots! th-cam.com/video/bmvCy8h-1pQ/w-d-xo.html
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! 🙌🏼
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.

@@AndreiRestrepo Hi! Wow thanks so much for taking the time to reply on my several questions, it helped a lot! I appreciate it! 🙂
Great video! Thorough and so great for to add to the arsenal, doesn't seem so foreign with your amazing direction! I will definitely be planning gear for this industry of photography and also hope to get my toes wet with what I have! Finally video is superb. 👍
Thanks so much, appreciate it greatly! Glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!
Good morning.. i just found your video.. i was looking at your recomend gear and notice you have a vnd filter as well. So do you stack your cpl and vnd filter when you shoot your videos?
I only use a VND outside, but honestly just if I'm filming an agent talking to have the correct shutter speed. If I'm just filming the house, a CPL filter is more beneficial inside and outside, plus practically nothing is moving in the frame as well. So I'd honestly recommend just using a CPL! Thanks for watching
@@AndreiRestrepo hey right on for the reply. I will keep that in mind when i start to build my kit up some more. Awesome video by the way.
Great video! Got useful tips
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!
perfect vid man, thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Great informative video! How long did the edit take? What did you charge the client?
Thanks so much! If I remember correctly this was a $750-$1K project. Usually takes me about 4-8 hrs to do a video like this and I like to do it in a few different sittings, not all at once. Thanks for watching!
hi there! you mention about prefer to use f2.8 lens. doesn´t that causes too much out of focus scene? isnt it better to shoot f4 or f8 if camera allows it?
It’s doesn’t as you can see from the clips in the video, because you’re dealing with such a wide field of view. Not like a 35mm lens at f/2.8. But yes, you can definitely film at a narrower aperture like f4+ if the scene is bright enough, like outside. 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!
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!
@@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 💯
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!
