Q: Why not just use AI to turn photos into a video?
A: AI can animate still images, but it can’t capture true motion, flow, or scale. It guesses what’s behind walls — and buyers can tell. Real video is smooth, immersive, and authentic.
Q: Why can’t I just take videos on my phone?
A: Phones shake, struggle with lighting, and distort space. Professional video captures room flow and keeps buyers engaged. Your listing deserves better than a shaky phone clip.
Q: Isn’t hiring the cheapest videographer good enough?
A: Cheap usually looks cheap — shaky, blown-out, or poorly edited. High-quality video creates a premium feel that attracts serious buyers and can boost perceived value.
Q: Why not just make a slideshow with music?
A: Slideshows are static. Video guides buyers through the home, showing layout, scale, and flow. People remember a walkthrough — they skip slideshows.
Q: Why do real estate videos cost more than photos?
A: Video requires skill, stabilization, lighting, audio, and real editing. Photos show rooms; video tells a story. That’s why video drives more engagement.
Q: Why do I need video if I already have photos?
A: Photos capture moments. Video captures movement. Buyers want to experience the home. Video keeps them watching longer and increases showing requests.
Q: Can AI replace professional drone footage?
A: No. AI can fake motion, but it can’t capture true depth, location, or legally operate in FAA-regulated airspace. Real drone footage shows the property authentically and safely.
Q: Why include neighborhood or city footage?
A: Buyers shop for lifestyle as much as the home. Parks, trails, schools, downtown — showing the surroundings makes your listing more compelling.
Q: Why does it matter who films it?
A: Real estate video is a specialty. Smooth motion, proper angles, exposure, color, pacing — these make a home look larger and more inviting. A pro gets it right.
Q: Can’t I just use a 360° camera?
A: 360 tours are useful, but many buyers skip them. Cinematic video is emotional, fast, and shareable. Top listings often use both — but video drives attention.
Q: Why does camera movement matter?
A: Smooth motion creates an immersive walkthrough. Jerky movement distracts and pushes buyers away. Pros use stabilizers to create fluid, natural movement.
Q: Why do music, pacing, and editing matter?
A: Editing is storytelling. Good pacing + the right music = emotional impact. Poor editing breaks immersion and makes a listing feel cheap.
