 POINTS TO REMEMBER

*A real estate video tour is made up of “stopping points” at doorways to rooms. 

*Walk much like a cross country skier moves. 

*Move from stopping point to stopping point then pan the room a single time then back out just a bit to clear the door jam.  Then turn and walk to your next stopping point.

*Most tours are made up of 4 rough clips 1) Front exterior with a gentle zoom to front door 2) Main floor interior & 2nd floor  3) Lower Level  4) Back Exterior

*Verbally speak about key features of the home and HDHat.com editors will add text labels at those key features 

*If you make a slight mistake don’t stop recording simply say “Stop don’t use that last bit let me step back and do that again…..Start Now”.  HDhat editors will cut your little mistake and begin again where you say “Start Now”

  *VIDEO TOUR RAW FOOTAGE IS LIMITED TO 11 minutes of un-edited footage and a maximum # of clips of 5.
