Sounds like a Terminator meets Alien showdown, but it's not... it's better!  Today we have Tara Jones from Reel Dwellings TV on the show talking about Video and how to take it to the next Radical Level. 

Tara Jones is an experienced Professional Video Host.  She'll be discussing various aspects of Real Estate Video and how it affects today's Industry and YOU.  Tara will share answers on many of the questions we all have about Real Estate Video. 

When to do it yourself vs when to rely on the pros?  How to over come the fear of video and how to best use it to sell homes and communities.  What makes a good video, what makes a bad video, and why video is so important in today's Real Estate market?

What's the best camera for video?  How much does it cost to have the pros come in? What is the future for Real Estate and Video?  What are the biggest Challenges shooting, editing, uploading etc.?


About Tara:
Tara and Reel Dwellings TV are taking real estate video to new heights. 
No more boring still photos fading in and out while listening to bad jazz music.  Professional videographers, expert editing and experienced on-screen talent make real estate video engaging and dynamic.  If you are looking to showcase a neighborhood, highlight your services, or take your virtual tours to a higher level, then join our show.

 


Tara has already put up some very useful "Help & How-To" posts here on ActiveRain.
  She has also helped a few AR members cross that threshold and assisted them into the blazing hot video scene.  Check out her Blog here on ActiveRain, you won't be disappointed. It's ALL about "video" with some great tips, tricks, and techniques.


Meet Tara Jones from Reel Dwellings TV and ActiveRain


Come join us, ask questions, or just listen in.  We'll be live on the air at 2:00pm EST, 11:00am PDT.  Just go to RainRadio for all the details.  Join me every Thursday at the same RAIN time, same RAIN Channel. :-)

I'm really excited to have Tara as our guest.  I was very fortunate to meet her in person at the Inman Connect in San Francisco a couple months back, and I'm really looking forward to her sharing her experience and wisdom that she has gained over the many years of doing video.  Listen to R.A.I.N today, as Tara expands on some of the thoughts and ideas she has already been so generous in sharing with us on AR.

Tina - that's exactly why were having Tara talk about this stuff today.  It's not to say that photos still shouldn't be used and be replaced with video, it's to share why Video was predicted to be a multi-billion dollar business by sometime in 2009.  The virtual tour is another topic I'll bring up today with Tara. Thanks Tina.

Tara - It will be really fun.  There are so many members who struggle with various areas of video, from fear of the camera, to the  "How Do I embed it into my Blog" I guaranty, you will be a shining light for these folks today.  Once they see the value, understand the power, and realize the benefits, many will jump at the chance to get started today. 

Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule and day to do this, I we really appreciate it.  I'm honored to have this opportunity, and thankful that you are willing to share your time, wisdom and experience with us. :-)

Pippa - I know how much fun you're having with video.  For some though, this is the scariest thing in their life.  We are going to try and help others today learn to have the same fun you are, and help remove all the self - doubt and inhibitions that keep them from moving forward and diving into video. 

Tara will be sharing many ideas and solutions for those who want to take advantage of this time and make the video plunge.  Glad you'll be joining us today. Should be really fun.  Regarding yesterday, I'm always here if you need me. :-)

Mara - thank you so much!  I ran out of time or I would have taken more callers.  I'm glad we got you through on the line, I think I better extend the length of these shows.  30 minutes just zooms by so fast.   I am still learning all this stuff, but I love it!!  I think this will bring more value to members than just me posting on my Blog.  I am lining up some really great guests with some awesome and timely topics.  I hope you'll continue to listen. 

I dug out my "Rain Stick" just for you.  I think I'll use it from now on. 

Maybe next week, I'll go to a special commercial break featuring a surprise guest...someone famous....

I'm working on that right now.  :-))  Thanks again for calling in and being a part of the show today, look for some bonus points coming your way.

Brad:  Great Show (again).  I expect the best on Rain Radio.....and you delivered..... again.   I caught the last 24 minutes, and listened in while compiling a virtual tour.  Tara said "still shots out" and "video in".   Jeez, I don't know if I will ever "get video".  But it was an informative show.  I am one of those people who can't think of being in my own promo videos.

Terry- Just know that it is going to take some time to get it right and it will NEVER be perfect.  That's part of the beauty of video...you can always look at it and see something you would have done differently to make it look better the next time.  Complete your first project and then move on.  You will be amazed at how much you learn and grow as you continue to create video. 

As always, we're here to help and answer any questions you may have.  Good luck!!!

Tara - as always, that's the best advice!!  Terry - she's right, every video I watch that I have ever done, can always be better. I always see something I could have changed or done differently. 

Just move on and learn from each experience. 

Example: Just go look at the first Blog post you ever did, look how far you have come.  Video is the same thing.  Practice and experience is the only thing that replaces being taught.  You can learn to fly a plane in a classroom, but reality says "you'll only get better, the more you fly."   :-))

Narrated video live tours, not pictures zooming in and out is a real "tour" of a property.  The tour shows how the rooms, the "pictures" all tie together. Good post...exciting times and another tool to broadcast the property in an easy to swallow format for the viewer that you lose after 6 seconds unless you make it easy, smooth and informational!
