Drone Shots Made Easy

Adding aerial images and video can really add a wow factor to a normal listing.  In this post I detail some of the tips and tricks I use in drone shooting.  Hopefully it can help you too.

I am flying with a Mavic Pro2 with the Hasselblad camera.  The thing I like about the Mavic is it is small, easy to maneuver, stable and the camera lens and sensor are great.  I also have a Phantom 3 Advanced, and I find it a bit harder to use, and less stable.  So if you are still using a Phantom, you might think of upgrading.  

Creating an aerial video is not hard.  The FloorPlanOnline production department will take your video clips and make a custom video.  All we need is raw footage to help us tell the story.  You can check out the FPO Air doc on some key moves you should have for each video.  I also have compiled a few videos from YouTube that explain some of the modes that help make it easier.  The Mavic has more but the Phantoms also have various flight modes.  Just search YouTube for your specific model and modes.  

At the end of the day, we just need some stable, well exposed clips to put in a video.  These are generally 2-5 second clips.  All you need to do is fly and record and FPO Production will extract the clips out of the footage.  Just follow the shots in the FPO Air doc.

A Private Five-Acre Estate!!!

Woodinville, WA

See The Story of This Home

A quaint New England style colonial sited on a prime and private five-acre estate. The approach sets the stage with a long circular driveway, past the English garden to this classic, two-story entry. You have arrived! This home beckons you to entertain with a light and airy grand great room that boasts large windows which look out onto both front and back gardens, French doors that open onto the front brick patio, ascending ceilings peaked with stout beams and skylights, and a traditional brick encased open-hearth for crackling fires. There’s an expansive dining room framed with box beam ceilings, banks of windows bathed in sunlight bringing in organic, laced leaf views and French doors that merge the indoors with the outdoor spaces. The pièce de résistance-the stunning kitchen! Showcasing a monolithic island. With furniture grade cabinetry in warm pine, rich slab stone and professional grade appliances. Your culinary adventure awaits you. Guests sit around the over-scale island after a Woodinville wine tasting event or retreat to the cozy family/media room featuring an English pub style bar, where you can enjoy a nightcap by the warm fire and a movie. Built-in cabinets conveniently store media equipment, with connections to speakers inside and outside of house. Beyond the “pubroom” is the spacious home office or guest room, accessed from a private staircase; ideal for the remote-working executive in search of a private space. Head upstairs to lose yourself in tranquility beyond the doors of the master suite. Epic proportions, luxurious materials, a large walk-in, a deep stand alone soaking tub and designer tile envelopes the spa-like shower. Two more bedrooms with walk-in closets and a beautiful vintage style full bath, plus an upstairs laundry center for utmost convenience. The main floor also features a large butlers pantry with sink and second refrigerator, a separate mudroom, and a guest bath. Causal elegance, exquisitely crafted, no expense spared. This home and property are a true gardener’s paradise! Lovely planting beds surround the house and grounds, with an enclosed brick-paved formal rose garden in the front, fruit trees, raised garden beds, and a berry patch in the back. Don’t miss the quaint cottage. An artist studio, large home-office or for conversion into quest house. For the hobby farmer, a matching chicken coop awaits the addition of your own feathered friends, and additional sheds for all your storage needs, or to house small farm animals. Property has room for equestrian potential. Life at this storybook setting is a blend of East Coast allure and European panache!
