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!

That means a lot, so glad to hear that!

No, that’s definitely outside of my editing skill! My editor takes care of doing those. I’ll only edit twilights I actually shoot in the evening!

Definitely more to say than I can answer in a comment! But I started out just connecting with local realtors through family and friends doing free shoots to build a portfolio, then paid work, and building my business. I’ve made a video on this - ruclips.net/video/4aWDlwQca7Y/видео.htmlsi=2hmtEbRcaewhzyM9

For sure! Ya, that episode is fully dedicated to vertical video shooting!

Haha, I've definitely encountered that before! The only solution is to not shoot in front of it and adjust you composition or focal length to not catch you in the first place. No way that I know of to remove myself from the mirror for video!

@@AndreiRestrepo Thank you for your help and advice. I thought I have to shoot it and then do 2hours of editing trying to do some tricks to remove myself from the footages. In some areas it is too hard, imagine a modern bathroom with an fully mirrored wall in the opening. 😅🤔.

Yeah those are tough! When the mirror faces the doorway like in a small bathroom, I crouch down below the mirror so it's a really low shot but I don't get my self in the mirror.

@@AndreiRestrepo 🙏🙏🙏😅

Great question !! I think either camera can do both, really well. But for an easier workflow and convenience, I'd pick the R6 Mark II. For most of my career I've always had only one camera, and for the time I had only the R6 mark ii, it could do it all! I just came to the point where I would do shoots where I needed a second body and it became easier to have one camera rigged for video, and the other for photo. I'd pick the R6 mark ii to do it all because of the sensor stabilization that's amazing for photos, the way better battery life is a big reason for both photo & video, and a few other perks. Now, that's not to say that the R5C can't do both because it obviously can, but you need an external better solution for video shoots, no IBIS, and a bit bigger body than the R6 ii. So for one camera solution, I'd say the R6 mark ii would be best. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate your detailed answer!! Wish you all the best!!

I would for RE video work, it' looks great! The only other thing to consider is a zoom lens where you aren't just fixed at 12mm. Depends on if you also shoot other type of work where I zoom lens would be more valuable. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, I did do that for a few tests! You're right on what you said, but since they're different size sensors, it's hard to compare in the first place. I actually now use an R6 Mark ii & R5C. The r6 mark ii has gotten few updates and it's a great hybrid camera!

Glad you found it valuable! Lately I've also been stacking just two horizontal videos so it's easier to see what's going on and then full screen versions as well. Thanks for watching!

For sure! It's an older 34" LG ultrawide monitor! Here's the link to it, thanks for watching! amzn.to/3XGtV1T

Glad to hear it, welcome! 😄

Hey! Bunch of good questions here. It definitely didn't happen overnight, 3 years in my actual business model, and it's finally a pretty well established business model! Haha. When I first started, I just did my best to connect with local realtors through any connections I had, produce the best work I could, and repeat over and over again. For organization like that, I recommend using a real estate based CRM. We use Aryeo where clients can request and book shoots and everything else you need. After you get to the point where you can't handle it all like I am, you start to bring on shooters, editors, admins, and so on to help keep running your business! You should also think about joining my community! being able to chat with other RE shooters just starting out or running their own business could be a huge help for you. It's on my website if you're interested! andreirestrepo.com

@AndreiRestrepo Thank you kindly, my friend... You're the greatest since sliced bread 🍞!

Glad to hear it! I have a lot more content on RE photo editing on the channel if you're interested. Thanks so much!

I use the conversion LUTS by Phantom LUTS! Seriously haven't come across any other LUTS as good as these. Their camera color specific and aimed to replicate ARRI color science. Better colors and highlight roll off than the standard canon ones IMO. But yeah I use their CLOG3 neutral for almost all of my work and they have some stylized ones too. Here's my link to them if you're interested! bit.ly/3I9PX7U

Appreciate it, glad it was valuable! Yeah, probably one of my favorite tips on cleaning up the colors inside for sure!

Hmm, never used a 7in monitor! Unless it's only for interview/full controlled studio setups, I think it might be overkill, 5in is plenty big IMO like this one!

@@AndreiRestrepo thank you so much!!! Something I feel hard to see the straight lines on a small camera monitor for real estate shooting... hehehe..

Haha I feel that! Bigger screen would definitely help!

Sigma makes some great glass, I have the prime set ART series! Super versatile and sharp, def recommend!

Hey William! Good question. I would think just having base prices for each sqft tier, and the same add on's available for each one. The value will go up, the bigger the property and then the add on's. For example tier one 0-1999 sqft $250. But then add on's available like drone, video, virtual tour, etc. And she for tier 2 listing, 2000-2999 sqft. I think crunching some numbers with how you currently have it set up would be best if switching the model would work! Thanks for watching !

@@AndreiRestrepo thanks for the response 😄

yeah, that is a bit of a bummer. but since we deliver the photos next day, it's ready by then so we can just send it with the photos at the same time

Correct! I just like to go handheld and taking single exposure shots of them!

@@AndreiRestrepo bro when it gets really dark are we able to lower the aperture to f5 ? sometimes you get stuck late at night. Also everyone says to keep it at 8 or 9 but what about if you use an infinity lens and keep it at infiity then you can lower the aperture?

Do you use a tripod? For night shots I typically try to still keep it at f/6.3 and up, that way the edged are still sharp. If anything I'll also not let my shutter go down too slow and raise the iso a bit!

@@AndreiRestrepo what is too low of a shutter? Ihave an fx3 with is the best for low light

You're still talking about photos right? Asking since you're saying you have an fx3 and it's a cinema cam! but yeah typically for photos on a tripod, I want go slower than a second or two, but if there's not wind then I'll let the shutter be 5-7 sec long. But for video, I would film everything at night at 12,800 iso since that's the second native iso for that cam!

Hey! Haven't used Kuula, just matterport. Ricoh I believe doesn't accept IS360 cameras.. not sure on that. But you can use IS360 cameras for matterport tours, I actually have a video on that!

@@AndreiRestrepo Hey.. thanks for you reply. Yes I saw your Matterport video as well, not sure is RICOH app accepts IS360 however I upload some pict from insta to RICOH app and it worked. But I am still wonder which software use. Is there any other way to be in touch with you? ☺Greetings from Costa Rica

Sure, send me an email and I'd be happy to help with what I can! hello@andreirestrepo.com

For sure! Here's the link! amzn.to/45fy55v

Thanks so much, appreciate it!

Welcome, glad it was valuable!

Interesting, has it happened again?

Thanks so much! I also have a one year review updated video on the Mac mini m2 pro as well. Greetings from TX!

@@AndreiRestrepo ♥

No, it was just because newer cameras were running newer codecs that my laptop couldn’t decode properly, no matter the editing program. Since then it’s worked just fine for me and haven’t had any issues with premiere pro!

@@AndreiRestrepo davinci support more codecs than premiere pro

Nope, it typically hovers around 100-150gb free. It would be more but I'm always syncing stuff to dropbox directly from my client folder on the desktop so that would actually be the main benefit for me to have more storage on the computer. Thanks for watching!

Appreciate that greatly! Glad it was valuable. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! Means a lot since it was my first wedding video I put together. Just work/life balance was never there, always shooting weekends for my weddings or second shooting, so much editing, always having to find new clients (couples) to work with, the list goes on. RE fixed a lot of those things where I can work a regular work schedule, weekends off, work with the same clients over and over again, hire and expand my business too.

Glad to hear it, thanks for the feedback and for watching!

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Thanks so much! Probably 2-3 edit sessions, each being 3-4 hrs!

Thanks so much, glad it was valuable!

Thank you!

It’s the real estate market, but that’s not my pricing now. That was just an example and around the pricing when I first started. Our average order is between $500-$1000+ luckily! Another plus is now having another photographer that works in my business to handle the smaller shoots that are on the $200-$500 range so we can do more volume. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, appreciate it!

The wider the lens, the less noticeable depth of field you'll have. I normally use a 15-35 RF 2.8 lens and I'll film the real estate shots at 15mm and then talking parts at 24-35mm. Not as wide, more but noticeable blurry background. So a zoom lens with a wide aperture like 2.8 would be my suggestion!

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!

That's probably your best bet! Having Auto WB and Auto exposure somehow since WB and exposure will change from room to room. Exactly, just like a mobile phone would do it!

I think it’s totally fine! That way agents know exactly what the cost is so when they reach out they have probably already seen pricing. For us, I don’t show pricing in case we get approached by other work outside of real estate. Thanks for watching!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks so much! I’d recommend the osmo mobile gimbal line by DJI, I hear those are great! If your setup is too heavy for them with the cage and lens adapter, then probably the rs3 mini would be good!

@@AndreiRestrepoappreciate this!

Yes, breakdowns just fine with everything attached so I never have to set it back up!

Just something I've always seen done! Pretty much any way I can add movement or things being done in the shot vs just a static looking video clip. That's why I do a good amount of lifestyle real estate videos with people in them! Thanks for watching

Yeah, fully manual! If I said that, I definitely did not mean to, I se everything manually so the camera doesn't change any settings through the shot. Short clips of each space, and then put together in editing. Thanks for watching!

​@@AndreiRestrepovery cool. I think agents, and a lot of people, like the idea of a "walkthrough" from one room to outdoors or a different space, often with speed ramps. How do you manage these shots without exposure adjust through the shot ?

You can speed ramp different clips together for that very reason since exposure wouldn't match! Just merge them on the fast part and motion blur a bit to hide the clip change

Thanks so much, means a lot! It’s a beauty dish softbox so the dish stays in the center to spread the light and then the softbox is double diffused. This is the 34in version that’s silver on the inside, but now I use a 42in that’s white on the inside, love it! Thanks for watching
