A real estate video shot list
you reuse on every listing.

The hero exterior, drone passes, the approach and entry, two moving shots each of the living room and kitchen, the primary suite, one wide per secondary room, the outdoor space and amenities, and details of each feature the agent names. Add the agent's intro and outro if they are on camera, and a twilight exterior for listings that justify it.

In the order a buyer walks it, so the edit reads as a tour: exterior and drone, approach, entry, living, kitchen, dining, primary suite, secondary rooms, then outside. Shoot the exterior when the sun is on the front, which can mean starting inside. Keep the shot list in walk-through order even when you film out of it.

A prep checklist two days out: every bulb working, blinds set the same way, cars off the driveway, counters and bathrooms cleared, beds made tight, pets and people out, TVs and ceiling fans off. Ask back for access details, the seller's must-shows and whether the agent will be on camera. Ask the agent to forward the list to the seller.

Put both in the shot list as their own passes with their own conditions. Check airspace rules for the address before drone is promised, and hold a weather rule for both. Twilight is best 15 to 30 minutes after sunset with every light on, as a separate visit or the last slot of the day. Licensing and flight approvals are handled outside the plan.

If the video is for the agent's social channels, often yes: a short intro at the door and an outro in the best room, two or three lines each, written before the day and recorded with a mic. Keep the agent out of the unbranded MLS cut. Put the lines on the listing board so the agent can rehearse them.

An unbranded video has no agent name, face, phone number or logo, which many MLSs require for the tour link. A branded video carries the agent and their brokerage and runs on social and the agent's site. Most listings get both: the unbranded tour for the MLS and the branded cut for social, planned together in one shot list.

Next-day photos and video within two or three days is a common promise, faster for a rush fee. Put your turnaround on the template and keep a row per listing with its shoot date, due date and status, kept in date order. The agent's listing date is the real deadline, so ask for it when they book.

Yes, from the listing notes, with you correcting it on site. In Storyflow you paste the bedrooms, the features and the agent's must-shows into the listing board, and the AI adapts your template's shot list and prep checklist to that property. You decide the order, the moves and what gets skipped.

No. Online booking, order forms, payments, invoices, locking media until the agent pays, property websites and MLS-sized delivery belong in Aryeo or HDPhotoHub, along with scheduling across shooters. Storyflow is what the shooter works from on site; put the listing board's link in the order confirmation, so the agent gets the prep list with the booking.

Unless your contract says otherwise, the photographer or videographer keeps the copyright and licenses the agent to market that listing. Builders, stagers, architects and the next agent to list the property need their own licence. State the licence in your terms, and price extra usage, such as a developer's advertising, as its own line.

Not during early access. Storyflow is paid-only during early access, with plans from $7.99 a month billed annually ($9.99 monthly). A free plan launches before the end of 2026, and anyone a paid member invites to a board joins free. Agents pay nothing to open a listing board.
