Location Presentation

The entire process for this video took 2 days from start to finish for planning, shooting, writing and editing.

The video shooting process

–  on the day of shooting, I spent 1 hour arranging and moving furniture in the apartment. I spent 90 minutes taking still photography and video footage of the rooms I wanted to show.

–  I recommend a filming time of two hours to allow for this kind of video shoot. Since I was filming a rooftop apt., changing natural light was a significant consideration. I recommend shooting videos like this before mid-day in Berlin, when natural light is best.

After filming/ Editing

I spent 1 hour selecting and editing still photos and video footage to create the 90 second image sequence.

Sound

Since live sound was not used, I spent 1 hour composing and editing a soundtrack from my pre-recorded audio file library.

Final editing

I spent 1 hour synchronizing the music soundtrack with the image sequence, writing the descriptive text and uploading the video.

In Summary

To provide an estimate of how many man-hours are required to make this kind of video, consider that it took a total of:

–  1.5 hours of filming

–  2 hours image selecting and editing

–  1 hour to record and edit the background music

TOTAL: 4.5 hours from start to finish
