Some added info to go with the video. Generally speaking a house up to 3000sq ft I can shoot one of these with the Realtor in 1.5hrs, normally less. Confidence on camera is key for this and I only work with limited clients (RUclips is my main job) Edit time is approximately 3-4hrs and normally I have alot more titles, motion graphics with tracking etc in the video. Pricing starts at $750+ USD for a video like this and its delivered within 48 hrs. That price is fully dependant on your market.
Great video Chris, thank you! Out of curiosity did you also offer real-estate photography in your packages, or did you stick to just video?
Thanks again eh!
Thanks for being so forthcoming. My understanding is that the demand for fast turnaround time is high in real estate.
In my opinion you're charging too low
just starting out and had my first real estate shoot 3 days ago... it didn't go so smoothly: shot full auto WB and auto ISO :( editing was a headache. wish I would have watched this before, great video! do you also include photo in your package?
Is this a standard picture profile of LOG?
I can say that I'm new to video shooting and this video helped me a lot in getting to know the RS3 Mini. It also helped me improve my shooting angles and video shooting technique. Watching you shoot the video and seeing how you shoot helped me understand a lot. Thank you for the video dude :)
Love hearing this
Thanks for taking your time to put this together. A good addition to the craft. I am curious about your comment on shutter speed and the occasional low light situation you sometimes hit in some homes. How do you compensate in situations like that?
ISO performance with Sony cameras is the key for low light
This is by far the best video I have seen on this topic Chris! Thank you very much for the tremendous effort and sharing all this often impossible to find knowledge ;) 👊
Ahhh too kind. Thankyou
@@chrisbrockhurstgreat video. So shooting 60p 4k with a 14mm you’re shooting 17.3 cropped. Isn’t that sometimes too tight?
The best tutorial I've come across on this topic. Super good team. Thank you for sharing....
I just started looking into doing property tours and photography just got all my gear including the dji camera stabiliser which happens to be the same one ur using 😅. This video was very help ful for a beginner like me could you do a vid showing how to use the stabiliser
Brilliant!! I am making every agent on my team watch this you show more then just making a video. Every real estate agent should watch this … Thank you!
thats a huge compliment, thankyou!!
Thank you Chris, this was so motivation and informative. Learnt a lot and even helped highlight my own abilities and resources great start for 2023… ironically we are in winter over here too…
Loved you dynamic with your wife… should do more together.👏🏽
Appreciate you, Thankyou for watching
Super helpful tips! Maybe I missed it but can you share where the final video walkthrough it?
Your wife constantly reminds me of Eleven from Stranger Things! Thanks for putting this awesome video together for us!
great video and very useful info, when you say you use autofocus do you mean you tap to focus or you are using CAF?
Love the video bro, so just making sure I understand it... The B Roll and A Roll with your wife talking, was both shot in 60 fps? And you adjusted the SS depended on lighting??
Are you keeping your camera recording at all times? Or just small clips at a time?
please consider make a video about the gimbal setting you use
For the most part it looks like he's simply using pan follow mode - and apart from the the importance is to have it properly balanced. You can adjust the follow speed and 'dead pan' settings to taste to get things looking smooth :)
video coming soon!
Excellent video! Please can you tell me what is the bracket thing attached to the gimbal? Thanks
Setting for keep that move smoothly?
Awesome video! What mode do you like to use on the RS3 for the interior following shots of with the realtor?
Always the slowest and smoothest possible i can. Deadband should be set so you have to move it a fair amount before it reacts
What gimbal is that?! I have the Ronin SC but I am not a fan, I like yours!
This video is awesome - and the beginning real estate video is really well done as well. My question is - do you get a lot of these requests? its been my experience with a lot of realtors in my area (and the houses I have shot for them - ranging anywhere from 200k-1m USD) these houses are selling themselves and FAST - by the time I even give them photos back (sometimes within the same day) they have offers on the house - so when I offer to make a video - they are like - Why?? By the time I even post the video and try to show it - the house is sold! Is this just the market I'm in ...or around? For example in 2021 I sold my own home for over-market (and asking price) value in less then 48 hours with over 20 in person showings in that weekend and I didn't think we would get what we were asking - I was shocked....I also don't see many other real estate videographers in this area (PHILLY surrounding areas) doing these either. Or maybe Im going about it all wrong? should I be looking for 1m-5m homes???
great video!!! what mode do you use on the Gimbal ? PF , PTF or FPV?
So beautiful
Thanks?
Hey Chris amazing video. Quick question, when I record in my house, while viewing in my camerea all the lights flicker... how do I stop that from showing up on film?
Thank you.
Great question. In some editors they have a option for that, there’s also some plugins that’ll work. Matt whoismatt Johnson also has a great video on how to do it by adjusting frames
I would love to see how you edit all the clips together
Thank you
HI CHRIS is 16 f2.8 its enough for filming electrical works in site
Vinyl flooring and gas fireplace? She understands that’s a gas cooktop right? Haha 😂
Damn, your wife is good at narrating!
Screenshotted this and sent it to her, you’ll make her day.
You need to bring in lights. Like, a lot of them.
No.
@@chrisbrockhurst the windows are blown out and the lighting is flat, it won't fly when you shoot high end real estate like commercials for resorts etc
@fredriksvard2603 fully agree. But that’s not what we’re doing here. The average realtor isn’t going to have budget to pay for that level of production nor can you move around like I did with the realtor in this video if you start lighting like that. Time and a place
which handles for the ronin are these?
DJI ones
@@chrisbrockhurst thanks dude
putting a mic on talent is considered "touching them inappropriately"?
Cool Master....I mean primary sleeping room. And I've done these video but just can't justify it. To all of you thinking about doing real estate videos, you're way better off to find a client you shoot videos for that you can also run ads (Ig,Tik Tok, FB, YT) to the same videos for. Then you charge $1k-$3k per video tailored to their business and get them leads. I charge a minimum of $1,500 a month per client to run ads. I'm lazy so i don't have very many clients (about 4.5 right now) and I literally spend about 5 hours a week maintaining accounts. Do good work up front and reap the benefits. Imagine if you were actually motivated, you could be making way more money than me. Last tip, find clients that sell big ticket items, they have no problem paying you the amounts I mentioned above if you're bringing them in $20k plus a month. Examples: paving, roofing, metal building companies. I have a guy that knocks out $100k jobs in a week off the leads I get him. Pretty sure I only decided to tell the internet my secrets today because I just got back from shooting one of these real estate videos and It has been so long I needed to come to youtube to refresh my memory. And let me tell you it was miserable, stuck up realtor telling me what to do and home owner was even worse. It was hot outside and I had to do stuff like fly the drone around in circles, carry a heavy gimbal around couches and in tiny closets...gross. Only did it a because my step monster is friends with the owner of the brokerage and he needed bailed out. So save your future souls and choose anything else but real estate vides. Good luck out there soldiers and godspeed... 🫡 p.s I haven't typed anything that long since...well, ever.

Dude this was so good. First off, the actual final video I forgot I was on RUclips haha. Felt legit like a TLC “House Hunters” episode but with a better realtor 😎😂
Awesome work and yo! Kudos to directing, remembering tales, AND filming your own bts all at once. Awesome work man.
ahhh you're too kind Justin. That means alot!! I genuinely enjoy making this style of video, it feels so natural to me to make. I'm sure very much like how when your shooting a BTS video. Hope I can get more of these made soon. Appreciate you!
She's a natural in front of the camera! That's a big plus for an agent.
Great video regarding your workflow. Agents really need to stop Vanna White(ing) their properties. I find it so cheesy. Plus, it's so not necessary to sell a home.
Yes I completely agree! I’ve done several videos and once I go to edit with realtor talking I throw it out. I believe an intro overview of property in beginning and outro with summary is best and let the property speak for itself coupled with descriptive captions during each transition. Music that fits the mood of home is what we like
I really appreciate you sharing the process. For a beginner like me, it's very inspiring, and wanting me to try some of them myself.
What do you mean shutter speed doesn’t matter. If you are going to teach, do it correctly, at 60fps your shutter speed should be at 120.
Wow Chris! This was essentially a masterclass. You shared so much knowledge and this will definitely help so many people. I also enjoyed watching you and Carrie work together. Fantastic video!
Appreciate you man!
I agree. Awesome tutorial!
I have a Sony ZV-E10 camera with Sony 11mm f.8 lens for landscape videography I need a lens with blurry effect for real estate hosting video please suggest which budget lens should I buy like Viltrox 35mm or 50mm, Sigma 30mm or tamron 17-70mm zoom lens ?
Great Video. What camera settings do you use? Especially for varied exposure settings i.e. when sun and cloud come in and out and change the exposure of the room?
Thank you for showing us the BTS of this Chris. Teaching of this level shouldn't really be free! :-)
As a young person just starting to get into filming, this video was amazing and has showcased a tone of helpful tips and tricks. Thank you so much Chris!
AWESOME video! 👏 Did you use auto white balance? And are you using a histogram to determine proper exposure?
what type or brand model is the dual handle brackets? thanks
DJI
thanks bro@@chrisbrockhurst
great walk through tutorial Chris!! for exposure what value do you set the zebras at? and if I'm going to use phatom neutral luts as preview in my camera (fx3) does the zebra values remain the same?
Amazing video! A question for you on how you would edit this for social media clips. Would it be best to shoot videos in open gate (anamorphic) 4:3 to get a bit more height than the 16:9? Or what's your opinion on getting clips out of this video you shot here for 9:16 reels?
Chris, great video (as always). Quick question: At 18:14 you talk about shooting for interiors and fixing the "little over exposed" windows in post in "SL3"? (Least that's what it sounds like you say). Can you explain that a little deeper? I shoot with a Sony A7iii and my biggest failure is having windows "blown out" when the interior is exposed properly. Love to learn some tips! Thanks.
I love how she correct your when you pronounced “garage” 😂 my wife corrects me all the time lol
Hi Chris, great video. I do have a question as I watched through your video, if I try to avoid memorizing scripts as I move around the house showing the tour, is it a valid or feasible solution to somehow mount the telepromopter onto gimbal? Are there any challenge to do so? and do you have combination and gimbal and teleprompter to recommend that work really good together? Thanks heaps Chris!
Such great information, thanks so much. Can I ask though, why can't the master be a master in Canada? Why does it have to be called a "primary"?
Nice tutorial. No telling that house is from 1914. Whoever renovated it is an unsensitive brute. Horrible ”renovation”
Your style is so much different to us in Australia. This style would not pass in AUS.
Are you rolling the entire time? Doesn't look like you're starting and stopping the camera.
A little more in depth on camera settings would be amazing, auto focus which focal point ISO etc
Hey Chris, excellent fun tutorial for those wanted to know how to shoot real estate. I don't do them but found this interesting nonetheless. Love to see a follow up post workflow. Also, curious that you never seem to start/stop the camera. Finally, do you have a gimbal setup? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Appreciate you watching. Yeh I often run with it as one take, in the edit it’s easy to just skim through and see where I’m at in the house. Just my method of doing it. Gimbal setup is pretty simple, just RS3 with Dual Grip handles
All good 👍
I could suggest to shoot a host separately, different lenses periodically. Not the wide lense only.
This is amazing! What gimbal settings are you using? Are you always shooting the widest focal length on your lens?
Always slow and smooth with the deadband set so you have to move it a decent amount before it picks up movement (you can set this on the gimbal or in the ronin app)
Thank you for sharing, this is wonderful "How to".
Question: If you shoot at F4, would you rather use that 14 mm 1.8 or a do you think you can get away with a 16-35 F28 shooting at F4 (Aside from the fact that it is heavier)
I normally use the 16-35 F4, I just had the 14mm on loan. 16 is enough
@@chrisbrockhurstis 16 f2.8 its enough for filming electrical works in site
Great video! What are your gimbal settings? It’s really smooth
This is great Chris! Thank you for this free knowledge workshop!
Welcome!
Which pp and how do you expose .... Don't you use Slog3 ?
do you shoot this in raw video? and then color grade it? or just strait out of camera?
you record the slow motion in 1080p? because your camera have a big crop in 60p
No crop in 60p with the FX3
Excellent Chris, I know nothing about realestate and certainly would like to have try, thanks for such a excellent video.
This is very informational and useful to see. Im not going to lie, I have a bit of anxiety getting myself started with real estate videography and photography, but it helps to see the process through and through sometimes. Great video!
Really great to see your process on location. This is a excellent video. Would watch more if you share.
I’m looking at starting to create real estate walkthroughs and this video is incredibly helpful. I was intending to get the Nikon 14-13mm f4 lens. You say that you shoot with f1.8 at 14mm. Do you think f4 would be ok or do I really need the wider aperture?
Having watched the whole video I see that you do recommend f4 for the B-roll so that answers my question. Such a great video dude 👏
Do you recommend using the steady shoot (ibis), when the camera is mounted on a gimbal? In my case, I have sometimes noticed a bit of woobling when I use the a7siii and 16-352.8. How was your experience?
Nope! Always turn that off, the camera can get tricked and ruin your shots
Hey. Great vid. Very informative. My question is, what would you charge an estate agent for something like that? Thx in advance
Sorry without the narrative. As we don’t really do that here in England.
Your wife is super cool. Canadians are always the best.
This is quite inspiring, I've learnt a lot from this video. Thank you so much for sharing. Please keep teaching us, I'm going to try this method.
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
Watch those vertical lines, they're slightly off and absolutely thrashing my OCD right now. Congrats on the growth of the chanel man, enjoy watching your content :)
Yessss all those crooked lines that could be so perfect and straight. It really bothered me too and he didn’t mention it at all!!
@@he4vym3t4l is it mostly from angling slightly down or up with the camera?
Do you shoot this in slog 3? Auto white balance?
Chris just wondering what focus settings are you using when your wife speaks... I noticed everything looks in focus.. Is the wide angel lens making the whole scene in focus? I imagine you are using face tracking ... thanks -!
Eye AF focus but also I’m using F4 or higher to have more in focus because people want to see everything in general with real estate
Great job! I noticed you're never stopping and starting the video. Do you just start recording and let it go the whole time you're there?
Yeh this way I’m seeing the layout of the house again in the edit and know exactly how everything connects, just helps me build the edit sequentially
You keep producing quality and relevant information, a lot of good details, I should be paying you for this stuff =\ for now I’ll give a thumbs up on any platform you are on.
Appreciate you
Great Video Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this. As I am also starting my business here in Canada, I highly appreciate you sharing your knowledge, I hope 2023 is great for you!
Appreciate you
I may have missed this but what lens do you use?
How much do you charge for the video shoot?
The video I needed. Thanks!. Greetings from Peru
Hope it can help you learn some things!!
I stayed up late last night and took notes on this mate. Been making films for a bit and finally decided that I was tired of going hungry and put together a business plan. From the most sincere place in my heart, thank you for this. I hope you get to see all the ways this contribution elevates the community- it certainly will elevate my business and family. If you’re ever in the Burlington VT USA area would love to buy you a drink! Be well.
Ahhhh love hearing this. So glad it can help you!!!
I have learned so much from this about working with a gimbal. Thank you! I didn't think I can simulate slider movements with a gimbal and I probably can't yet at this point. Your footwork blew me away! How much of a difference does the double grip make on the gimbal?
ahhh this is amazing to hear, thankyou for sharing. The Dual grip makes me feel like i can grip the Gimbel in a way that just feels smoother to hold. A wider grip helps more than you realise. You dont necessarily need this exact one but something similar will help you!
@@chrisbrockhurst thank you for answering! I have a Weebill S. I am sure I can find something for it as it was quite popular when it came out. Or perhaps I can find something generic. I am just a bit sceptical about attaching something to the singular 1/4 thread on the bottom.
Do you have a video for how you do the edit?
Where'd you get the 2 hand accessory for the gimbal?
DJI
So fun to see you and your wife working together. She is great in front of and behind the camera. Really enjoyed seeing what goes into making this type of video. Do you do any additional stabilizing in post, or is the gimbal and your ninja smoothness sufficient?
thankyou! shell appreciate that comment alot. All the movement your seeing is straight from camera, no additional stabilization.
Chris- thanks for the BTS sharing of your expertise! Question for Chris or anyone: With this video being shot at 60fps with the audio of someone talking, doesn't that mean the audio will be sped up or slowed if the speed of a clip is retimed on a 30fps or 24fps timeline?
It will slow. Detach the audio from the video
@@chrisbrockhurst Thanks, much. 👍
Chris - loved this video, I have to shoot my first house tomorrow - Did you shoot in 120 or 60 fps 4k?
Appreciate you 🙏🏼 60fps
@@chrisbrockhurst awesome thanks so much! Really enjoying your content. Love the videos where you are on the job. Have a good one.
I just have to say. Super super SUPER thanks for making this video for us. This is huge for upping my skills and making money with real estate. Thanks bro.
That was amazing. Thank you for this. Exactly what I needed as a beginner.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Love these longer form educational videos. What are your autofocus settings in the Sony? Would love to see your color grading process on this shoot as well.
Video coming covering these!
Great Video! So Educational. Looking forward for the Other Video Coming with the Details of Your Camera Gimbal Setting.
I am really curious on the Aputure F4-F8? Which Manual Mode or Shutter/Aputure Priority? Focus Area (Wide, Zone)?
What I forgot to add. Do you consider filming with a double gripp is way better/easier then just holding the gimbal or why are you using one? Many Thanks
Thankyou! I have a couple of vids coming that will explain all those things actually. Generally speaking im always in manual, full control is my preference
Chris, I absolutely loved your videography tutorial, I was wowed!
A couple of things, my friend.
I assume that your wife for this video shoot was a hired actress, and if so, was the client charged more?
I am in the Genesis of real estate photography 📸 and because of that I desire to offer my clientele packages that may include stills, and aerial shots in additional to interior video; how do you schedule your day in a way that you're not overwhelmed with appointments? 😊
For example: since no 2 days are exactly alike, how do you limit your workload without overdoing it?
Thanks for your effort and time in covering this subject.
Excellent video, I recently bought the Fulaim X5 wireless kit. Absolutely great for these realtor walk through videos. Just set the levels, hand it to the realtor to either clip it or use the magnet. No need to ever assist them running the risk of "getting handsy". Btw, this was HGTV quality and actually better in a lot of cases. I've seen some not so well shot episodes. You and your wife should have your own show, you 2 are that good! Finally, I shoot in 4K 30fps slowing it down to 24fps and its buttery smooth.
Would love some advice on focus while buzzing through the house on your gimbal. Auto? Manual? I have an R5. Any particular focus settings that would work best? Thanks so much. Love your videos!
great video, thanx! I would like to see a little follow up editing this and the final result.
Hopefully soon!
Great video Chris, the final edit is amazing, thanks for all the tips.
🙏🏼
Hey Chris, I have a rookie question.... what program/s do you use to send your work over to your clients? I am trying to find a way to send over 4k Video and Raw and or JPEG photos and haven't come to find anything yet.
Hello, excellent, I don't speak English, I'll use a translator, I would like to know what mode did you use on the gimbal? What type of focus did you use on the camera and what type of profile? , Thank you!!! 👍
Great video, Chris! Thanks for the knowledge!
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
