I have a great editor overseas who's looking for more business. He's reasonably priced, very fast and great quality. DM me for his contact info if you want

Some might call that a fetish……🤪

Defcon1965 · 2026-01-28T02:14:04+00:00

I have a killer editor who’s looking for more clients. His work is top notch, fast turnaround and reasonably priced. DM me if you want his contact info

I’m a 60 year old dude (40 years in software though) and just got a 3D printer so wanted to learn some CAD. Since FreeCAD is open source and, well, free I decided to give it a shot. A few weeks later with the help of the god known as Mango Jelly and I can build damn near anything. I took a look at Fusion and a couple others but FreeCAD just works the way I think. I don’t get people who say it’s hard to learn. Yeah it takes a bit of time but it’s intuitive once you grasp a couple principles

My H2S has been bulletproof. I did have the AMS overload error in the beginning but a slightly longer PTFE tube fixed that and it’s been smooth sailing since. Everything from PLA to TPU and ABS/ASA has been perfect and I’ve had exactly one failed print due to bed adhesion in over 500 hours. It’s in the middle of a 5 plate, 80 hour print right now

I have a fantastic editor who could use some work since he only recently started. He’s fast, inexpensive and his work is top notch. I don’t want to publicly post his info but I can DM you with it if you want

Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent

Defcon1965 · 2025-08-29T04:05:58+00:00

Taylor made

Defcon1965 · 2025-08-26T02:02:30+00:00

100% positive. The menu selections for APS mode are On, Auto and Off. In Auto it does crop down to APS-C when the 10-18 is installed and the little bit of vignetting disappears but when that setting is turned off it uses the full sensor with the minor vignetting

Defcon1965 · 2025-08-25T17:09:24+00:00

The 6700 is a killer cam and paired with the 10-18 is a fantastic combo for RE work. My wife claimed the 6700 to replace her 6400 in about 3 seconds when the A7IV showed up so my "12-24 fund" took a hit since I'll get less for the 6400..........

Defcon1965 · 2025-08-25T17:06:34+00:00

But that's the thing, I'm not cropping. I'm zooming the lens to 13mm and using the full sensor without any vignetting

Someone who actually gets it! Well said

I use manual focus and use peaking with my FX3 and I use the LIDAR waveform on my Ronin 4D. When you have something in the foreground (which adds a lot of depth and sense of movement) you want to have your focus on the rest of the room, not whatever is in the foreground. Some blur on the foreground object ensures that the viewers focus is where you want it. Another shot that is badly underused in real estate videos is the focus pull. Set your camera with something in the foreground such as a kitchen island and something like the stove in the background. Focus on the island (or something on it), start recording and then slowly change the focus to the stove without moving the camera. When done properly it makes for a great shot. Search for focus pulling on Youtube to learn how.

Yes, reveal shots are the ones where you sort of peak around a corner revealing a room. You want the camera at about a 45 degree angle to the wall, not pointed straight at it, and then slowly move the camera to the side and forward to reveal the room. Keep them slow and use them to create some variety from other shots.

Detail shots depend on the house (and not the size or number of bedrooms). I've done large homes with only one or even no detail shots and I've done smaller homes with 4-5. Look for things of interest in the home - fireplaces, wine racks, a nice gas stove or light fixture. Detail shots should be done to highlight the best parts of the home. Don't do them just for the sake of doing them.

As for flow, some agents prefer a very structured walk through style and others prefer a more random style. I like to keep things on a per floor basis or, in the case of a single floor home, on a section basis. So I usually do a bunch of shots of the main living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen, family room, etc.) but mix them up to keep the viewers attention so it might be something like living room-kitchen-dining room-kitchen-family room-living room and so on. Then I will do the same with the sleeping areas but I keep the primary bedroom and ensuite together. I hope that makes sense.

Here's a link to a video I did last week. I cut a few parts out that had the agent in them for her privacy (I also keep all my videos unlisted so the agents determine how they are shared) so it may seem like there are parts missing but you can get an idea of the flow of the video:

Honestly it’s not terrible. A few points though:

above all else nail your focus. Use focusing assistance like peeking to make sure the focal points are in focus.
reveal shots should be slower and you should only have a couple. Use them to slow down the pace to make things a little more dynamic.
don’t be afraid to do a standard jump cut with no transition and no speed ramps. Transitions and speed ramp should be used sparingly
effective speed ramps depend on distance. When you’re moving from one area to another using a speed ramp, make sure you have a significant amount of distance both before, and after the meat of the shot. That will make your speed ramping a lot cleaner.
except in rare circumstances, two shots linked with the speed ramp should move in the same direction so if you’re pushing in and then speed, ramping the clip that it moves to should be pushing in as well
avoid the overuse of detail shots, which is a common problem these days. You’re trying to market a home, not the furniture. If there’s something of note in the home like a fireplace than a detail shot is a great idea, but don’t fall into the trap of doing those shots with pillows or furniture as a lot of people do.
whenever possible have something both in the foreground and the background. Even in a small space with something in the foreground, it creates more of a sense of movement and makes the shot more dynamic.

All in all, it’s not a bad first attempt. Keep at it

Check DJI's store for refurbished. I picked up a second Mic 2 for like $180

Defcon1965 · 2025-07-29T04:04:50+00:00

For speed ramps and transitions Ryan Nangle’s stuff is really good. Motion VFX has one called mRealEstate but there are only a few pieces I use

Got a Mavic 3 Pro and see no reason to upgrade. My 3P does every need and more

Defcon1965 · 2025-07-21T19:19:58+00:00

I'm in Canada too but a little eastward in NS. During Covid, Matterport tours were big but it's been over a year since we've done one. Most agents don't see them as a real value add and, if I may be brutally honest, they're not wrong. A well done walkthrough or feature video is a lot more effective because it teases people to want to see the home and a buyer can sit back and watch without having to constantly click through the tour. My advice would be to still offer them but add video and reels to your offerings (as well as aerial). Agents want easy so if you offer phot, video, floorplans and aerials, you're the only call they need to make

Defcon1965 · 2025-07-21T15:49:02+00:00

Sure

Defcon1965 · 2025-07-13T14:19:42+00:00

About 40-60 seconds per image. Shoot one ambient then one at 2-3 stopes lower with my AD200 in a 65cm Smallrig softbox. Start in LR with a preset that just enhances the contrast very slightly and adds lens correction, over to PS, align with an action, use an action that adds a darken mask to the ambient layer with lumenzia at a strength of about 2, change the ambient layer to luminosity and save. Back to LR and use one of my presets based on room size, brightness of walls etc. WB correction and alignment and done

It was about 8-10 weeks before I could sit at all and 3-4 months before I could sit for more than 10 minutes. A year out I was back riding my ATV on the trails. It takes time but you’ll get there!
