My 2nd Video Tour . . . - 06/01/07 11:35 AM
Is pretty much like the first video tour although I was more successful at making the pans steady. On this one I added some titles to explain what you're seeing and to help guide the viewer through the home. I'm not at all happy with how the upstairs of the home
