The three to learn first
Dolly, backyard reveal, front-door approach. They are forgiving, they suit most rooms, and their photo sets are the easiest to shoot.
The next five
View push for a view, staircase climb for two floors, tilt up for height, truck & pan for a feature, and one drone move from a pilot's stills. With these eight you can make any listing.
When the rest earn their place
A pool wants the glide; a farm wants the aerial pass; a hillside wants the rise over roof; a luxury reel wants the drone dolly zoom. The room-by-room guide maps them, and the camera moves page lists them all.
Questions
Can I use the same move on every room?
A dolly everywhere works; two or three moves across a listing keep the reel from feeling repetitive.
How does the planner choose?
It reads the photos, groups them by room and picks the move each set can support — and says what to re-shoot when a set cannot.
