Moving Up, Down and Out of Town… My Video Contest Entry

Moving Up, Down and Out of Town…

My assistant and I had a brain storming session for about 2 hours on Wednesday, coming up with potential ideas for this video contest.

I must say, we were all over the place! By about noon, we had enough material to move forward and collect our “shots” all from my Flip Video Camera.

We established the fact that we have helped many clients in various situations in life. This video contains 3 scenarios of life changing moves, as re-enactments of similar situations.

The SOLD sign is actual footage and actual audio… No special effects were used.

My Internet marketing has by far, surpassed any other method of marketing these days.

We have the experience and knowledge to help you with your Idaho Real Estate needs.

I hope you enjoy this video. I would love your critiques and comments. Thank you!

Renee, thanks for the confidence & for taking the time to watch!

Barbara, thank you so much for taking a look!

Lyn, The sign was my favorite part! I crouched under a ladder and had a buddy drop the sign from on top of the ladder. It took 4 takes to get it just right!

Don, That was great! I liked how you just popped in at the right moment to make a statement that highlighted what was needed for each buyer/seller. The dramatic signs was a fun effect! Seems like you had a lot of fun doing this!
