What a walkthrough does
Photos show rooms one at a time. A walkthrough shows how they connect: the view from the kitchen to the living room, how much light comes in, where the stairs land. For a design-build firm, that's the closest thing to bringing a prospect into a finished job. For a remodeler, it shows the scope of a whole-house project better than a gallery of stills.
How we usually structure one
- An exterior opener: the approach, the front door, maybe a drone pull-back.
- The main living spaces in the order a visitor would see them.
- Details that sell the craft: trim, tile work, built-ins, hardware.
- The client's favorite spot, if you know it, and a closing exterior shot.
A walkthrough for a website usually runs one to three minutes. We also cut a 30 to 60 second version for social posts from the same footage.
Voice, captions and music
Some firms record the owner or designer talking through the project; others want music and on-screen captions naming each room and material. Both work. If you record a voice-over on a phone, we clean it up and level it under the music. Captions are burned in for social versions, since most people watch those with the sound off.
Footage that cuts well
- Slow, steady moves: walk slower than feels natural and hold each shot for five seconds or more.
- Lights on, blinds open, clutter out of frame.
- A few wide shots of every room before the close-ups.
- Horizontal for the website version; a few vertical clips if you want reels too.
Questions
Can you blur house numbers or personal items?
Yes. Tell us what to hide and we'll blur or crop it, which matters when a homeowner still lives there.
Can the same edit go on YouTube and our site?
Yes. We export a 16:9 master for both and add a vertical cut if you need one.
Got a hard drive full of job-site clips? Tell us what the project was, what you shot, and where the video will be shown.
