Property Video Solutions

At PVS we're all about helping people to shoot high-quality video! Luckily for people who are complete beginners, with the excellent smartphones currently on the market shooting video on your phone couldn't be easier! We want to help people use the technology that's already in their pocket to take their video capabilities and their business to the next level. Here are our top five simple tips that you can follow to drastically improve your videos! Tip 1: The rule of thirds Whether you're first learning about photography, video or art, one of the most basic principles of composition you'll always come across is the rule of thirds. To explain it, we really like the definition by the blogger  Grace Fussell : "Imagine a 3×3 grid on top of any image. You should align the key elements in the image according to this grid — at the “power points” where the lines intersect, or along and within the vertical and horizontal lines. You can also combine these two a

A frequent question we get asked here at PVS HQ is who are the biggest influencers on the way we run our business and our philosophy general. If you asked either of our managing directors, the name they both frequently drop is Gary Vaynerchuk. Gary V  is a successful entrepreneur and businessman and  is a digital marketing expert, but he's much more than that. He offers inspiring entrepreneurs practical advice on not necessarily on how to become rich; but rather, a blueprint on how to live their lives on their own terms and be successful in business.  If you had to read one book by Gary V, we'd recommend Crushing It! Another inspiring figure that everyone in the team can relate to is Sir Richard Branson  — the owner of the Virgin Group. His philosophy is based on simple principles. They are: 1) Take care of your employees If you take care of your employees by giving them the tools to do their jobs, you treat them well, care about their wellbeing and go out of yo

Happy Belgian National Day to all of our friends, family and clients in Belgium! Or as they say locally, Nationale feestdag van België / Fête nationale belge! Earlier this year we collaborated with The European Copper Institute in Brussels to produce five short films with overlay animation for use as part of a Twitter campaign in conjunction with the 2019 EU Elections. We couldn't have been happier with the result! Especially as the films had over 100k views on Twitter! Given that it's Belgian National Day, we thought it was only appropriate to share a couple of the videos!

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, Chris and Matt were in Westminster filming for Steven Herd from My London Home ! The guys always love heading down to London to film, but when the weather is as perfect as it was, it makes the work that much sweeter. Over the two days our glorious leaders shot ten short films, two market updates and a development film. On the first day they shot in the St George's development by the Thames (which was gorgeous!) and on the second day they shot films highlighting Steven's top ten streets in the SW1 P postcode area. Below are a few behind the scenes snaps captured by Chris (which unfortunately means he doesn't feature): The PVS team is now hard at work editing the footage that we shot and we can't wait to see the final result!

Have you ever wondered what kit you need to start shooting property video? We get asked this question all the time and it couldn't be easier! For approximately £100 (or less!) you can be fully kitted out with everything you need. The first piece of kit you need is a camera. But luckily, as it's 2019, pretty much everyone has a powerful camera in their pocket capable of recording high-quality video. What we mean of course is your smartphone! So what else do you need? Well, there's three key pieces of kit that you still need to purchase to be fully up and running. Before sharing our recommended kit list, our unofficial PVS lawyers want us to reiterate that we are not paid to advertise any of these products and we have no relationship with them. They're on our introductory kit list because we believe in them for beginners. Without further delay, there's our recommended kit list: Key Kit No. 1 - Tripod The first thing you'll need to purchase is a tripod

PVS wants to wish everyone in France a Happy Bastille Day! Or as the French say, la Fête nationale! We're always thrilled to work with international clients as it diversifies our outlook and the way we look at the world, and exposes us to different ways of working. In honour of Bastille Day, check out the French version of a video we shot Yard Force about a year ago.

Chris and Matt travelled down to Chatham in Kent on Tuesday to film our latest destination film for the Kitchener Barracks development. The guys shot five interviews which included the local property expert Spencer Fortag, the number one cafe in Chatham Cafe Nucleus , the Director of Communications and Development of  Historic Dockyard Paul Barnard, Bob Russell the founder of Copper Rivet Distillery , and the Mayor of Medway Councillor Habib Tejan.  Here are a few behind the scenes pics from the day: Now that we're back in the studio, the team is hard at work keywording and transcoding the content and busy with the first edit. We can't wait to see the finished result! As an aside, Matt couldn't resist posing for a picture in front of the yellow no parking sign, but unfortunately it wasn't for us! Netflix was using the car park to film a new upcoming series.  To find out more about how Property Video Solutions can help your business pl

PVS wants to wish everyone a Happy Canada Day! We're lucky here at PVS HQ that we get to work with Devon (our token Canadian) week in and week out. He's only been part of the PVS family since April, but he's invaluable behind the scenes helping the business grow. Devon said, "Working at PVS has been great! The team is super close-knit and it's an awesome and cool environment to come to work. Being the only Canadian or "token foreign" comes with some playful banter, but it's always in good fun. "However, they've asked to take some pictures of me with my Canada Rugby shirt on and I'm sure they've doctored the images... I'm scared to think what they've done..." Clearly he knows the team too well! Here's our photoshopped Canada Day image of Devon! To find out more about how Property Video Solutions can help your business please visit our  website .
