Just How Hard is it to Shoot Your Own Video Tour?

by Phil:

Christian was recently invited to speak as a panelist for the 2007 Real Estate Connect conference in San Francisco. On the eve of the panel, we decided to do a quick tour of our friend’s place. The following morning, while our cabby patiently waited for us out front, we quickly recorded a tour (literally in 5 mins). Then edited this presentation together an hour before the panel.

Why? Well we wanted to show off the product but, more importantly, just how quickly anyone can shoot, upload and broadcast their property. I shot this with a DIGITAL CAMERA (Canon TX-1), downloaded the footage to my MAC, and edited it all together with iMovie. You can do this today. Get out there and try it! And if you need help, post questions in the WellcomeMat neighborhood. Someone will help you out.

BTW, I defy anyone to show me how a few photos or VT could provide this type of A, interactivity and B, storyline. People buy stories NOT photos.
