We're frequently asked if we an we change the music on the cinematic video - the short answer is yes!
The video transitions for your property video are timed to the beat of the original music track, in other words, “baked in” so changing it is a process that is a bit more cumbersome than simply swapping it out a selection on a a drop down menu. Please allow 24-48 hours for video revisions.
We are experienced professionals at selecting the best song to pair with our cinematic camera movements, but music is subjective and some of our clients and/or sellers wish to choose their own music. If you wish to change the music please consider the following tips.
1. Provide keywords to your videographer if you have a particular mood in mind for your video beforehand, or better yet, have some music playing on the TV or Stereo while we’re shooting to help set the mood. If an Endodontist can do it, why can’t we? Shout out to Dr. Roth saving teeth up there on the Mainland!
Sample: Beach Vacation with Sound Effects
Sample: Dark and Dramatic
Sample: Island Happy
Sample: Mardi Gras
Sample: Deep Sea Fishing
2. As you can see above, It pays to be bold in your music selection. People sometimes request something slower and more relaxing, but after we make that change for them, they tend to find the video boring. Be mindful that we use the music to pump up the drama and keep buyers interested and sometimes a slower more relaxing video does not keep the prospect's attention. In other words, this is not background music, its purpose is to keep the viewer watching through to the end of your video.
Sample: Slow and Relaxing
Sample: Upbeat
Sample: These go to 11
3. Unfortunately, we cannot use your favorite Jimmy Buffet, Carrie Underwood or Guns & Roses Song, but if its too windy to go fishing or diving in the Florida Keys today and you feel like diving even deeper into the rabbit hole of royalty free music, we have a full subscription here www.epidemicsound.com and can use any track on there you desire. Whether it is an 8 Bedroom Marathon Retreat, Mansion at Ocean Reef, Key West Historic Eyebrow home or Bayfront Islamorada Bungalow we have you covered. They even have sound effects!
Gulp! Rock on everyone!
