Swing the doors open

This Reel is as simple as it gets. Set your phone up on a tripod in front of a door or set of doors, then simply open the door to reveal the room inside. This could be the door to the primary bedroom, a spa-like ensuite, an office, the library, the front door, etc.

Create a Reel for each room! It’s easy content to make. You can be in the video and show yourself opening the door, walking through and disappearing into the room. You can crouch and slowly push the door(s) open from the bottom, keeping out of sight. If it’s easier, you can even attach a clear fishing line to the handle and, from inside the room, slowly pull the door open.

What you’ll need: A single video lasting 4-6 seconds.

Garden in bloom

Does your listing have a beautiful garden? Maybe a gorgeous backyard perfect for enjoying the warmer months? Set up your phone on a tripod and let the environment do its thing. This one’s especially ideal when there’s a slight breeze that causes a bit of movement. If it feels a little too still, you can add movement by simply walking into the frame and setting down an ice-cold drink and a book, then walking away again.

What you’ll need: A single video clip 10-12 seconds long.
