Drone Services Needed - 2507 W Erie Ave, Lorain, OH 44053
Drone Services Needed Below is check list for the shots that we are wanting. Please reach out if you have any questions on any specific shot. General Drone Shots: Time Lapse directly above subject property Approximate flight time: 4:00-5:00 minutes Generally 400 feet or above (if allowed) such that the entire building, parking lot and surrounding streets (if possible) are in the shot. Drone should hang in single position shooting from directly above the property straight down. If the property has a traffic light contiguous to the property line, we would ideally get the traffic light (and traffic pattern) in the time lapse overhead shot. Important details: Drone must maintain steady positioning throughout the four to five minute period. If the drone shakes, the shot is not usable as we speed it up to 1500x in post production and cannot stabilize poor drone footage at that speed. Time Lapse in front of the subject property with signage and street in foreground Approximate flight time: 4:00-5:00 minutes Shot generally less than 100 feet. This is designed to give the viewer a decent shot of the front of the property with the idea that the viewer can see the traffic patterns and foot traffic (parking lot) of the subject property. If possible we do not want the front of the building signage obscured by power poles or traffic lights. If we’re shooting a Dollar General, ideally we want the monument signage in the foreground and the building signage (on the front of the building) in the background and we don’t want either sign obscured by power poles, stop signs or otherwise. Important Details: Be careful about power lines as this shot is generally shot at 30 to 40 feet in the air. Important details: Drone must maintain steady positioning throughout the four to five minute period. If the drone shakes, the shot is not usable as we speed it up to 1500x in post production and cannot stabilize poor drone footage at that speed. Circle the property (Close, Right to Left) Approximate flight time: 1:30-2:00 minutes Generally 100-130 feet. Shot is designed to give the viewer a sense of the overall property. Want to make sure the entire parcel is in view and we are pulled back from the parcel approximately 50-75 feet. Important Details: We want to see the sky line in this shot, so you have to pull back far enough to give the viewer context. Approximately 10% of the top of the view should be the sky such that the viewer can see the skyline. Drone camera vertical feature must be steady during this circle. We will speed this shot up in post production to about 200x-250x. If the camera is moving vertically, it will not be steady in the shot. Circle the property (Close, Left to Right) Approximate flight time: 1:30-2:00 minutes Same instructions as above. Complete the circle and then go back the other direction in the same flight pattern. Going different directions gives us some flexibility in post production to keep the viewer engaged by changing the direction of the circle. Circle the property (at distance, Right to Left) Approximate flight time: 2:45-3:30 minutes (subject to property size) Max out at 400 feet or above if possible. The goal of this shot is to give the viewer the overall perspective of where the property sits in the town/city. If there are other aspects of nearby properties that enhance the overall area, this is where we will highlight them in post production. We will generally chop this shot up in post production to highlight the aforementioned “secondary properties” that hopefully enhance the understanding of the subject property. An example of a secondary property is a school, hospital, grocery store, Target, Home Depot, major interstate, tourist attraction, sports arena or stadium, major thoroughfare etc. Important Details: Need to get the sky line in this shot such that the viewer has context. Generally speaking, about 10% of the shot should be sky. Important Details: If the property is near a major town (example: Nashville, Lexington, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville) where the downtown skyline of buildings is viewable, we want to make sure we get that in this circle. Highlighting how far a property is from a major downtown skyline is an important detail for investors who are buying from out of the area. Circle the property (at distance, Left to Right) Approximate flight time: 2:45-3:30 minutes (subject to property size) Same instructions as above. Complete the circle and then go back the other direction in the same flight pattern. Going different directions gives us some flexibility in post production to keep the viewer engaged by changing the direction of the circle. Pull Back Approximate flight time: (1 minute) Start at the front of the property approximately 40 feet in the air and pull back rapidly going vertical with the front of the property always in view such that the viewer gets a sense of a close up and a distance shot. Flight mode should be on “sport” as we generally don’t like to speed this up in post production and want to use a faster drone speed so the cars don’t look like they are going at a speed that is not realistic. Pull In Approximate flight time: (1 minute) Reverse the Pull Back shot from above. Start from way out and come close to the front of the property. Watch out for power lines. Ground Video Shots: · An iPhone can be used. Be sure to clean off the lense prior to shooting and turn the iphone sideways to get wider angle. DO NOT USE IPHONE IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. · Stand on the front right corner of the property and shoot the shot starting with viewing the road and then slowly panning towards the property finishing on the front of the property. Ideally we would want traffic flow on the road and then panning towards the front fo the property. We always want to pan towards the property and not away from it. · Stand on the front left corner of the property and shoot the shot starting with viewing the road and then slowly panning towards the property finishing on the front of the property. Ideally we would want traffic flow on the road and then panning towards the front fo the property. We always want to pan towards the property and not away from it. Ground Still Shots: Pano shot with signage in the foreground (if possible). We will use this shot on the front inside photo of the package. Generally we will use a close up drone shot for the cover. The second shot will be a pulled back drone shot with surrounding properties highlighted and the third shot will be this pano shot to give the potential buyer a sense of what it would be like to stand on the property grounds. Still shot from the front right of the parcel (signage in foreground if applicable) with the signage on the front of the building unobscured. Still shot from the front left of the parcel (signage in foreground if applicable) with the signage on the front of the building unobscured. Bonus Shots: Please do not do this if you are not 100% comfortable doing so as this shot is not necessary, but a positive. Any still shots from any corner on the inside of the building. Generally I will hold the camera up above my head to try to capture as much of the inside of the buildings layout as possible. Any video panning shots of the inside of the subject property generally taken from the back corner of the inside of the building such that the viewer can get a sense of the inside of the building and its layout. Please be advised, this is not necessary and in some cases may be strongly frowned upon by store management. In some cases I would get permission from the store manager saying I worked for the landlord and I was doing a general building inspection and wanted to get a shot for any roof leaks or otherwise. Again, this is not a necessary shot, but a nice to have shot.
