I kicked off Propvid in Australia in 2004, shooting video for all the top Sydney Agents. Today, we produce about 100 to 150 productions a week in SE Qld alone, shooting video and doing stills, all in under 30 minutes, per-job. Getting there and getting back takes longer. Video is a compelling media. It is here to stay. Ask yourself this question. If you couldn't go and inspect the property. What would you base a buying decision off. Some photographs. Or full motion video. Its a new era guys.
Paul, Unfortunately, many MLSs in the US have rules that make agents responsible for vendors that are in a listed home. Some even have healthy fines for leaving vendors alone in the home.
I would ask - Why does an agent need to be there while you are doing your work - are you not the producer, director, editor and so on. A good agent would be out finding you more work - that's the way I look at it.
We did shoot video about 12-18 months ago but this has all but stopped, the agents found the time invested in actually being on site a big negative, it would take at least 1 hour and the top producers didnt appear to have that in their busy diary.
