Exterior: frontage, access, parking
- Aerial pass along the frontage for visibility and signage.
- Drone top-down for the parking count and the site plan.
- Front-door approach from the lot to the entrance.
Interior: volume and condition
For open floors, a tracking walk from the entrance across the floor shows depth and column spacing. For warehouses, a tilt up from the floor to the roof structure shows clear height, and a truck along the dock doors shows loading. Shoot with all the lights on; commercial interiors are unforgiving in low light.
Where it fits in the package
Put the wide cut on the property's page and link it from the OM and the broker email; put the vertical cut on the brokerage's social accounts. Keep numbers — square footage, clear height, dock count — in the text, not on the video.
Questions
Does video matter for leasing as well as sales?
More, if anything: a prospective tenant touring by video can rule a space in or out before a site visit, which saves the broker's time on both sides.
Can I video an occupied space?
With the tenant's agreement, and with people, branding and confidential material out of the photos. Villenza will not add or remove anything, so what is in the photo is in the clip.
