In anticipation of Halloween ~ a Frankenstein creation of my own for your viewing pleasure!

Last week we shot 215 Jerome Avenue in Islamorada for Keith Allen at Century 21 Island Life TheRealKeys.com.  Keith always wants the works, but the home was unfurnished and the main feature was really its location near the Islamorada Arts and Cultural District. No, the Caboose doesn’t come with the house.  Funny side story...I actually lived on that street when the Caboose was delivered and it was quite the spectacle. Late one night in March of 2013 everyone in the Neighborhood put down their beers or whatever to behold the second coming of Henry Flagler clickity clacking right by our humble windows down Jerome Avenue.  One neighbor thought he was hallucinating.  This is a photo from the next day, when they were transferring the Caboose from the truck to the small section of railroad tracks behind this very home.

Anyway, we ended up shooting the photos, Matterport 3D scan and some aerial video that day.  Since I had some extra time, I shot some ground based video throughout the art district to add to this as well as other videos.  When I returned to the office, I regretted not shooting video for the inside of the home, but realized that the Matterport might just have what I needed to round out the property video with some interior motion shots and this is the finished product.

Perfect for Dark Homes with a View

It’s always a challenge to balance the interior and exterior light, especially when shooting video and everybody knows I hate blown out or faked out window views.  I think that for a dark home with dark ceilings, using the Matterport to generate the interior video, is awesome way to create the perfect cinematic video to effectively market that type of property both inside and outside at an affordable price.

New Marketing Support Tools on the Horizon

We're probably going to have to come up with a new package for this hybrid and we just received a new 3D Marketing Kit which I will use to become a Zillow Certified Photographer. I’m excited to finally have a direct line to a technical support person at Zillow that will help me provide and be knowledgeable about the media types rewarded by Zillow.com and will enable me to maximize the exposure for our clients marketing on Zillow.com
