What is it with the world today? People are too quick to employ someone else to do what is ultimately their own job (and usually fairly easy) - If you are an agent, YOU should be recording that video, YOU should be adding audio to it, and YOU should be uploading it onto your site??

A video is a video. But a ken/burns style "video" has the big advantage of being almost a video, cheaper. In the assumption that "something is better than nothing" and that a quality video budget will be the 20 times more expensive, 99% of the Realtors will pick up the "video" Considering many aspects, the "videos" are a great marketing instrument.

Creating a montage of still that move around is not video, and never will be. Personally, I think the moving stills technique is crap. There is no change is perspective as you approach an object... it just looks wrong. If you are going to shoot video, then you need to walk thru the house, just as you would in person... otherwise there is no point to it. Stills are stills and full motion video is video.

Video is video... panning is not video... I stll like a professionally done 360 panos better than video anyhow. Why do we want to sacrifice picture quality to see tree branches move? Paul- agreed!

Zooming in and out of a photo doesn't make it more compelling than a still photo - does it? It still doesn't show the relationship between rooms like video. It's not really video - it's just a slideshow! Call it what it is! Aren’t Ken Burns slideshows still just PHOTOS?
