Well, I decided a while ago that video was going to be a large part of our marketing and advertising because of the huge push the medium has made over the last few years. I've found creating a video is fairly easy, but creating a great video is difficult.
I tend to prefer still pictures in my real estate videos because live action videos can look horrible in an amateur's hands with all shaky and jumpy shots that can make you dizzy just to watch! Eventually I will try to incorporate more live action, but for now, I'm on mostly still shots.
But I have found a few tools that really REALLY help in making my video so far, like the program Windows Movie Maker. I know the program is simplistic for experienced video editors, but for me, I'll stick with the easy program for now.
Also, Bob Stewart did a webinar on Friday that showcased Canva.com. This website really provided a great tool for creating my info banners found in my video below. They do charge money to use most of their pictures, but what you see in my video was all free. All pictures that do require a charge are only $1. Hopefully the website will provide memberships in the future to enable a one time monthly charge for unlimited use, but for now its $1 a picture.
Because of my previous radio broadcasting career, I do have an advantage to most with voicing the video like I did here, but I can tell you that if you get a good mic (not acceptable, but good), a good audio editing software program and you really work on your delivery, you'll start producing audio comparable to radio spots you hear on the radio.
So check out my video, and I accept all questions and constructive criticism!
