video: The Devil Is in the Details... - 08/08/11 01:23 PM
The Devil Is in the Details... Watch that last step, it's a doozie seems to be the order of the day. While rummaging through a bunch of old inspection photos, I came across this interesting diddy. Rehabbers in the Nashville TN real estate market seem to do what they do best. They do a great job at making the interiors "to die for"; however, it has often been said, that the devil is in the details. H-m-m-m-m, it appears as if the contractor left out one minor detail on this balcony. Silly me, who would want a safety item like … (16 comments)

video: Making the Change... - 07/26/11 05:52 AM
Making the Change... Most of you who follow my posts know that I am making the change to segregate the inspection business from the photo/video business. So bear with me as I will post links back to my other ActiveRain blog. Due to the terms and conditions, I cannot reblog my blog but there are those who may want to see what is happening in my other world so I will periodically back link. I wrote a post earlier today explaining the basics of video frame and frame sizes and why pictures don't always import well into your video. If … (15 comments)

video: Walk & Talk, but Nix the Gum… - 03/03/11 05:30 AM
Walk & Talk, but Nix the Gum…By now, most of us should have mastered the ability to walk, talk and chew gum to demonstrate our dexterity and multitasking capabilities. Let's face it, it is a natural part of every day social interaction, but when it comes to videos, folks stand stoically in front of the camera and drone on. Boring... For your next video, try this trick. Set your camera on a swivel head tripod and have a friend pan while you walk through the room pointing out the features. This not only shows off the room, but there is something … (32 comments)

video: Keying on the Right Color... - 11/21/09 08:25 AM
Keying on the right color...Chroma-Key or green screen technology is a studio technology that has been around for awhile and is constantly improving. When I got my MAC, I was fascinated that iMovie had the ability to do chroma-key or green screen. As quickly as I was enamored, I was just as quickly dissatisfied with this program due to its lack of control and functions. Good quality video requires good quality software. Period! Making decisions based on the computer platform (MAC), software capabilities, and business plan, I settled on Final Cut Pro. Now started the up-hill battle, the learning curve. Chroma-key … (12 comments)

video: Technology - Test Video - 10/20/09 06:26 AM
Technology - Test VideoThose of you who frequent my blog know that I am heavy into technology. One of my passions is video. Last week I shot some footage of Gary McBee of People's Home Equity in front of a green screen. Faced with the choice of either watching the local team be further humiliated or do this video, I chose the latter. This short 2 minute video goes to show you what you can do when you have the right technology and desire. As Gary will be putting this on his website, your input ☝ or ☟would be greatly appreciated. … (11 comments)

video: Video Listings... Why Don't Agent's Use Them? - 07/25/09 07:03 AM
Most of you that follow my posts, know that I am constantly thinking out of the box and throwing in my 2¢'s worth every chance I get. Well, the other day, I coerced, fellow ActiveRain members Ellen Anderson and Aileen Schwendimann, kicking and screaming to my studio office to do a video presentation of one of their listings. (not really) Although nervous at first, they soon settled down and got into the act (literally and figuratively). Although, video presentations such as this are really nothing new, I do not see a lot of real estate agents use this cutting edge technology … (24 comments)

video: RE:Water Stains... - 07/21/09 06:16 PM
As some of you may know, I am starting to do a series of videos about some common issues found during home inspections. I do want to take this opportunity to thank those who have been responding to these. In response to one of the questions asked, "How do you repair water stains?", I have came up with this video. Enjoy - No tomato throwing allowed...
Have a great Tuesday, Y'all... 8-) If you or someone you know is purchasing or listing a home in Brentwood, Franklin, Nashville, Spring Hill or Thompson's Station in the Davidson or Williamson county area … (20 comments)

video: Water Stains Don't Have to be a Deal Killer... - 07/17/09 01:34 PM
Some new home buyers and their agents really freak out when it comes to seeing water stains on the ceiling. In my ongoing series of videos "Helping YOU Live YOUR American Dream" I address this in my short 70 second video. I would greatly appreciate your input as to other series you feel may be helpful to you and your clients...

video: Wednesday's Thoughts - My 2¢'s Worth - 07/16/09 05:36 AM
One of the reasons that I got and set up a new off site office was so that I could have a place to do videos. After a lot of work over the past few days, I finally got my studio set up and late this afternoon, I shot a test video to test the system. As most of us know, many folks do not have a clue of what a home inspection is about or why they even need one. I plan to start a series of videos that may help your clients understand the reason they need a qualified … (59 comments)

video: Happy Father's Day - Video - 06/21/09 07:08 PM
It is Father's Day. As I look back on my life, I look at Father's Day with a mixed bag of emotions. My dad has long passed, but his Love for me helped shape me into the man that I am today. As I look back on my children, I often wish that I could have done a better job, but then they really turned out okay in spite of me. I now look back on my children that are now fathers and mothers, I guess that they too will turn out okay. I put together this short video as a … (1 comments)
