It’s here, I just launched a new product over at my other site, Gainesville360.com.

Fusion for Video is the art of combining beautiful photography with amazing video for a high impact, compelling presentation.

The stills were shot with my Nikon D3 and the video was shot with my Nikon D90. I ran separate audio for the 2nd video. A special thanks goes out to MiYoung Lee who was very patient while I got the audio figured out, she did a wonderful job introducing the home.

This is a great Shannon home. The shoot came out despite the weather turning south. It seems all I’ve been doing lately is dodging rain drops and rescheduling shoots… ughhh! Here is a link to my virtual tour of the listing.

I had to take a double take when the owner told me Tommy Waters had built this home. I bet it drove him crazy - there’s not one piece of crown molding in this million dollar listing. You can view the real estate video and virtual tour I did HERE. This home was a challenge to photograph and especially video. It was dark on the inside and I wanted to make sure I was able to achieve detail in the shadow/dark areas. The home has a great feel that I think I was able to capture.

I am getting ready to launch a new product for my Real Estate clients on my other website, Gainesville360.com.

So I’ve been practicing my techniques and work flow. I’ve invested in a lot of software, equipment and training to be able to produce a high quality, affordable product that will continue to separate my clients and their listings from the rest - getting them the traffic they need to sell.

If done right, I feel video can really add value. I chose this house to practice on because it will probably be the more difficult type of home to produce video on… mainly because it’s empty! Empty houses are a challenge to photograph. It’s hard to make them feel warm and inviting, however, with video, I can help create emotion with movement and sound. It opens all kinds of creative doors for me.

Some times I feel the Nikon D3 is really overkill for what I mostly get hired to take pictures of - that I would actually do just fine with the Nikon D700 ( though the D700 wasn’t out when I made the decision to purchased my D3.)  However, there are times when having some of the extra features the D3 offers, such as 9 frames a second, comes in really handly. The first image above is a great example. I bracked 7 frames on a moving boat and was able pull together a blended image with relative ease back in Photoshop. So having 9 frames a second makes handheld HDR and blended images very possible in some really awkward, unyielding environments.
