THE FINE PRINT
VIDEO: Real estate videos are generally shot with very strict deadlines in mind. To that end, we strive to have our videos completed, edited, and uploaded by the very next day so you may get them listed and on the MLS. The fast turnaround time and long editing and compression times, coupled with the need to keep prices low prevent us from offering standard options that may be offered with other types of video production.
Video is complicated, technical, and time-consuming. The files are massive. We are able to provide video tours of real estate at a significant reduction in price from what you would normally pay for a video of this quality due to several cost-cutting factors:
1) We follow a templated format. View any one of our thousands of video samples. Replace that home with your listing – that is exactly what your video will look like! Custom shoots are available that vary from this format at an additional charge, due to increased production time.
2) Each video takes several hours in transcoding, editing, and compression for the web. Any changes, no matter how insignificant they seem, require a complete re-edit and recompression of the material for both branded and unbranded versions, so there is no such thing as “a small change”. Therefore, we do not offer previews or music choices and we do not offer client edits (as we do for videos for other industries that start at well over $600).
We will happily correct any errors that WE make at no charge. Any additional editing, changes, etc. that you would like made after the fact are $100. If there are specific rooms you do or don’t want to be filmed, or specific narrative or contact information you submit to us, please be sure everything is correct before the video is edited.
PHOTOGRAPHY: Under current copyright laws, the copyright of any photography remains with the photographer unless specifically agreed upon. Nashua Video Tours retains all rights to photos taken of properties. We license the use of the images to the listing agent of the property at the time the photo is taken. The license of use is extended to the agent for the amount of time that the property is for sale.
Photographs taken by Nashua Video Tours are not to be used for any purpose other than the marketing of the property listing. Agents must obtain permission from Nashua Video Tours to use the image for any other medium (marketing of agent’s services, calendars, etc).
Photographs taken for an agent cannot be passed on to another agent should the seller wish to change real estate agents unless the contracting vendor was the seller. If the homeowner pays us for the licenses, then they can transfer the images to different agents for the purpose of marketing their home. The new listing agent will need to contact Nashua Video Tours. We do not allow photos from a shoot commissioned by one agent to be used by another agent. Nashua Video Tours requires that the new listing agent purchase one of our packages, and we will shoot the property again. We realize that real estate is a competitive business, and we do not want to damage our relationship with any customer by licensing work they had commissioned to a competing agent.
We are fully committed to providing the best service possible to our customers. To that end, we are extremely flexible about how our customers use our images. We want to work with you to meet your needs. All we ask is that you discuss any transfer of medium with us before doing so. Generally, we will be happy to license the use of our images for other purposes at no additional cost.
