Real-estate video from photographs

A listing with video is watched longer and gets more calls: a clip conveys space and light the way no photo can. But shooting a video tour for every apartment is expensive and slow. A neural network solves this differently: it animates the property's existing photos — rooms "breathe", the camera passes gently through the space, and from 8–12 frames a neat tour is assembled.

What you can assemble from photographs

• A tour of the rooms. Each room — a short shot with smooth camera movement and transitions between rooms.
• A living interior. A static photo of a room with light movement: light from the window, barely-there dynamics — the frame stops being "dead".
• Neighbourhood context. Wide shots of the street, the yard, a nearby park — the atmosphere of the place around the property.
• Furnishing options. Show an empty room furnished different ways — how the space could look.

Upload a photo of a room and ask for a calm camera pass. Tip: "a bright spacious living room, high ceilings, large windows, daylight, soft shadows on the floor; the camera slowly pans left to right, revealing the room; calm, realistic". Video costs more than pictures: a clip is available after signing up and onboarding.

How to describe the shot so it comes out decent

A weak prompt is "a beautiful room". A strong one is specific: what's in the frame, what light, where and how the camera moves. Keep four layers:

1. Space. "A bright living room, high ceilings, east-facing windows, light parquet".
2. Light and time. "Daylight, long soft shadows" — light sells a home best of all.
3. Camera. "A slow pan", "a smooth pass forward", "an orbit from window to door" — without it the model will jerk the frame.
4. Mood. "Calm, cosy, documentary" — without cinematic grandeur that gives away the fake.

Assembling a tour in an evening

1. Gather 8–12 good photos: the facade, rooms, key details.
2. If needed, improve weak shots and remove the extra from the frame.
3. Animate each photo with a short shot (image-to-video).
4. Glue the shots into a tour: 60–90 seconds for a listing, 15–30 for social.
5. Add a voice-over with a description and contacts and a calm background track.

What's next

In all these chapters everything rests on one skill — the ability to describe a frame. The book's final chapter is a large collection of ready video prompts you can simply copy and drop in your own subject.
