It seems most of the shots we're filmed while standing still. Any idea on how good it is when you are walking and filming at the same time?

However, adding a wide angle lens to the Iphone 4 improves important things like white balance, saturation levels, contrast ratios and aids in post production stabilization. The simplest way to think of it is that with a wide angle the Iphone 4's camera is being sent more information so that the camera can make better choices for these important things I mentioned above. However, this is all technical.....the most important thing about an Iphone 4 is that an agent can utilize a small simple to operate high def camera to shoot footage that can be used by a professional editor to produce a fantastic real estate video tour......capturing the footage really is the easy part as I will show. In fact next week I will blog a "how to" video training that I gave to a new agent(Nichole) at her listing. After less than 3 minutes of training she went on to shoot footage that resulted in a tour every bit as good as a Pros. Literally my total time in training her from the first time she touched the camera was less than 3 minutes! You will be amazed at her results. The reason there are so many "bad" real estate video tours out there isn't filming. Most bad real estate videos are a result of bad editing! A critical component of professional editing is "stabilizing" the footage to deliver a final tour that is "smooth" with a flow that keeps the buyer interested. The Iphone 4 certainly is capable of capturing the high quality footage and that is great news for the tech savvy agent.
