Desiderata – Experimental Film-making For Real Estate

Desiderata. Latin: “desired things” – a 1927 prose poem by American writer Max Ehrmann (1872-1945) OK. It may be a little deep. But at platinumHD Propvid, we’re always striving to make more of a film about a property than just a video on it. I wanted to go for a colder look. We also brought …

Nirvana – Kirra Beach

Having worked on Reflection Tower II for Neicon, Marketing Manager Stephanie Tuttle commissioned us to look at Nirvana, while still a construction site. We’d have access to one ‘display’ apartment and to the facilities at Reflection, which would be similar in style. Everything else would need to be lifestyle. We start high on the cliffs …

2011 – A Year in Review

2011 – a Year in Review. When you shoot more than 50 real estate videos a week (just on the Gold Coast) and manage an online video network that now stretches across the world, through multiple time zones, a PlatinumHD Propvid day is one long and remarkable 48 hours. What’s remarkable is the burden of …

92 Savoy Drive. The Naked Truth About Last Night

Updated December 29, 2011: Views have now exceeded 100,000. Without any mainstream press. There are three versions of this film launched. Two on YouTube and one on VIMEO. Launching multiple versions was necessary due to some aggressive censorship on Neo content in the past. VIMEO now also offers up integration with Apple TV so seeing …

Lakelands by NEO

For those who don’t know, Neo‘s Ian Adams was a SWAT cop back in the UK. The best of the best. He has an unashamed, unabashed comedic quality about him, not dissimilar to the great Benny Hill. He can have fun with being sexist, taking it right up to the line with through self-deprecating sense …

Ballin Downs – A Testimonial

This just in from Agent Jason Savage on the Ballin Downs video – produced over three days, for $15,000 plus helicopter aerials. And again, we broke all the rules here. It is a generally accepted rule of real estate marketing that you never ever film or even associate a home-owner or his/her memories in any …

Ballin Downs. A’lysee’s Story

This marks the first time we’ve introduced a real human touch to a property film. This is A’lysse’s true Story. A’lysse also brought a real vision to this three-day production, aiming for a high-end polo look in terms of wardrobe. The production, the most expensive residential shoot produced to date, included two other pieces – …

I Love My Villa

Love My Villa. ‘Amalifi’ cost over $10 million to build. With that sort of price tag, in this sort of market, any type of marketing is going up hard against it. To add to the challenge, 50 Knightsbridge Parade East, Soverign Islands, had already been “video’d”, photographed, floor-planned, 3D whatever’d and word-smithed to death by …

The First Property ‘Short’ – Linnaeus

Pin sharp from front to back; every sky blue; each and every colour in the spectrum amped. Shadows brushed white, with radiating light; all lawns painted fresh-cut green. Today’s real estate photography – almost all real estate photography, including much of the material produced by this production house – has managed to remove itself from …

A Romantic Comedy – 6 Ben Lexon Place, Robina

It was always fun working with Lucas Wilson and Natalie Poteri. They happily let us push the limit. In this film Lucas plays a forgetful Agent, who can’t remember names, while Natalie is a potential buyer.
