Real Estate Videography with the DJI Ronin

Real Estate Videography with the DJI Ronin

Last week, we did a real estate walk through video project for Netasha Williamson with Jan’s Realty. I used the DJI ronin M to shoot the video with my Sony A7Rii.

I don’t use this thing a lot because it just doesn’t fit well with the type of video I’ve been shooting the most. When filming a deer hunt or jumping on frogs and alligators, there is no time to setup a gimbal and I’m not carrying that thing to most of the muddy, nasty places we end up going with T.P. Outdoors Adventures. I’ve almost sold it a couple of times because of this alone.

But when I do use it, it’s usually for a commercial or some other type of shoot where I have a clean, environment as well as plenty of time to set it up. In those times, its pretty slick. I’m always amazed at the impossible shots that become possible with the Ronin.

Most Recent Project

In the most recent project I used it to film the majority of the walk through in one continuous flowing motion in one take. I wanted to create this shot to give viewers the ability to see the home almost as if they were there walking with us.

We did shoot a few other shots that were spliced in, and there were some still shots included in the video instead of video at the request of the clients, but those shots could have been done just as easily with the Ronin. The ability to make such a flowing shot as essential a one man band is so awesome.

You can view the video here as well as some still photos shot for this listing.

Photography Workshop

Beginner Photography Workshop

Photography Workshop
Beginner Photo Workshop

We have just a few seats left for the photo workshop I’m Hosting this coming Sunday afternoon from 2:00-4:00 at PJ’s Coffee El Dorado, AR. If you are new to photography or have had a camera for a while and just don’t know what all those buttons mean or how to set it to anything other than auto. This class is for you. Look forward to seeing you there.

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP

For this workshop, we will begin by meeting for about an hour to go over basic camera functions and terminology. After you have a general grasp of your camera, we will spend about another hour as a group exploring down town El Dorado, Arkansas and practicing what you’ve learned. 

This session is specifically geared toward new photographers or new camera owners. If you’ve been shooting for years, you are also welcome to join but this is not going to cover any other advanced photography techniques. We’re starting with the basics. We hope to just have fun and learn some basic photography together. 

WHAT WILL I NEED?

Participants should bring a camera of their own. The brand doesn’t matter. This isn’t a brand specific session. I personally shoot Sony but any brand will do. Menus options may vary and I may or may not know exactly where to find all of the settings on your camera, but we’ll figure it out. The technique and the terminology is the important part. 

What about my iPhone? I phones take good pictures and they are handy. But, an iPhone camera is probably not the best option for this session. You’ll need a real camera. Point and shoot is fine. DSLR is fine. Mirrorless is fine too. You just need a real camera. 

There are lots of different lenses available for most cameras. The lens you use for this session is not that important. We’ll use what ever lenses you have. A kit lens that came with your camera will be fine. We will cover some basics of other lenses though and their functions and uses but there is no need to buy or bring any specific lens. Just bring what you’ve got or what ever you want to use.

We’re keeping this as a small group of about 10 people. So signup today using the form below to save your spot. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Give the Gift of Photography

Photography is a gift that Keeps Giving

I’ve been in photography and videography professionally for about 5 years. It was a hobby for much longer than that but about 5 years ago is when I got serious about learning the craft. Since then, it’s taken me on numerous adventures and I’ve met some of the coolest people in the world all because of a camera. Getting started though can be a little scary.

A new camera can be an awesome gift for Christmas. It’s a gift that truly keeps on giving. What’s even better is coupling that gift with some basic photography knowledge. Or even if you bought your own camera, navigating the various menus and dials and buttons can be a bit overwhelming.

Barreling to the Junior World Finals

Saturday was a busy day for us with lots of fundraising. First we spent most of the day shooting Christmas Pet Photos to raise money for UCAPS in El Dorado. Next we headed to the Hogskin Arena in Hampton, AR to shoot a Fundraiser Barrel run for Jackson Thurman and Brody Ivy.

These young cowboys are headed to Las Vegas to compete Junior World Finals and proceeds from the barrel run will help them with some travel expenses to get them there.

It was a little wet and cold, but the skies were generally clear which made for some good outdoor daylight barrel run photos and we had a great time shooting the run.

Check out the link below to view and purchase some of the photos from the run.
