For Custom Home Builders
Film your homes before the owners move in.
A custom home takes a year or more to build, and there's usually a short window between the final walkthrough and move-in. We film it in that window, so you have something to show the next client.
You get a walkthrough film, drone footage of the lot, and stills for your website and social accounts.
The Problem
Most finished homes get photographed once, by the listing agent.
Those photos are made to sell one house. They rarely show the material choices, the sightlines, or how light moves through a room over the day.
Prospective clients and architects look at your past work online before they call, and listing photos are often all they find.

How It Works
Planned around your completion date.
Walkthrough
We walk the house with you in the last weeks of construction and talk about what you want shown.
Planning
We pick the angles and the time of day for each room, and work around staging.
Shoot Day
One session covers the walkthrough, the details and the drone footage, on a day that suits you and the owner.
Delivery
Photos within 24 to 36 hours, then the film, social cuts and files for each platform within 7 days. One round of revisions is included.
Why Builders Use Film
What a film does for a builder.
Show work in progress
Footage from the build, shared while the house is going up, gives people a reason to follow along.
Show the whole house
Most builder websites show a gallery of stills. A film shows how the rooms connect and how the house sits on its lot.
Use it for years
A listing photo is used for one sale. A film can stay on your website and in your pitches for as long as the work represents you.
Example
French Modern Estate, Brentwood
Our walkthrough of this spec house, finished by Onyx & Alabaster, has more than 14,000 views on YouTube without any paid promotion.
Builders get the same kind of film: a house filmed once, then used on the website, on social and in client meetings.
