The Third Annual 'Be The Star of Your Own Movie' Contest

By
Home Stager with Rooms With Style

So….a movie that tells something about what I do??

Well, that’s easy! My job as a Home Stager is to make a buyer fall in love with a home. Period.  

I star in a movie everyday! It is called “Love Story”.  Love Story 

Love Story is a classic movie released in 1970 about two people meant to be together. It starred Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal. It grossed more money than any Paramount production before it.  

I know it had a sad ending and “Love means never having to say you’re sorry” but in real life there are many happy endings and yes, you really do have to say you are sorry. More times than you can imagine!  

I digress, back to the movie…..every job I take on I think of the buyer that is going to walk through the front door and what they are going to see. I want them to fall in love at first sight.

11 seconds is the average time a buyer knows if they want a home so literally, it is love at first sight.  

Here is my movie about a ‘Love Story’….Rooms With Style stars as cupid.  

Will it be love at first sight???

 

Cupid

 

Stay tuned to the end to find out!  (be sure to watch it full screen)

 

 

 

 

 

 

No tears in this ‘Love Story’. Now who doesn’t love a happy ending. If you need to create a ‘Love Story’  for your lonely house contact Rooms With Style and start looking for your perfect date!

Oh Lisa...that is so sweet! Thank you so much. I had a ton of fun doing it but it took me 10 hours to come up with the idea and make the movie. Hopefully if I did it again I could do it quicker.

Thank you Rebecca. The second video was done with IMovie and Richard Yates did that one for me as part of a Staging Contest he ran that I won. I tried using that but I couldn't get a theme to work for pictures, only actual video so I switched to Animoto. I have used one other one too for a 'fun' movie last year but I forgot the name of it. LOL
