Planning your project

What types of properties do you cover?

We handle apartments, build-to-rent, single-family communities, commercial, industrial, resorts, and mixed-use sites. Interior, exterior, drone, twilight, lifestyle, and full media packages are all available.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the type of asset, the size of the property, the media package, and how much coverage you need. A basic photo set for a smaller property may land in the $600–$1,200 range, while full media packages with video, drone, twilight, and lifestyle coverage for larger communities can range from $2,500–$8,000+. For larger portfolios, industrial sites, or full marketing campaigns, budgets can range from $10,000–$40,000 depending on the number of shoot days and deliverables. We always send clear quotes once we understand the scope.

How far in advance should I book?

Most clients book 5 to 10 days out. Busy seasons fill up faster. If you need a quick turnaround, just ask. We can usually fit it in.

What does the process look like?

We start with your goals, deliverables, and timeline. Before the shoot, we plan the shot list, schedule, and property preparation with your team. After production, we handle editing, revisions, and delivery in the formats you need.

What is it like working with Clearform?

We come prepared, coordinate closely with your team, and work efficiently on active properties. From the shot list through final delivery, we keep the production organized and the quality consistent across your assets.

On the property

Do you travel?

Yes. We work nationwide on individual properties and multi-property portfolios. We coordinate scheduling, production, and delivery across markets. We do not charge travel fees.

Do you offer drone coverage?

Yes. We are FAA Part 107 certified and insured. We can capture aerial photos, video, and full fly-throughs depending on what you need

What if the weather is bad on shoot day?

With all productions, we work together to schedule a target primary shoot date and a backup date from the start, so you always have coverage options. If weather affects exteriors or drone work, we move to the backup date at no cost. Interiors can usually still be filmed as planned.

Do you offer twilight captures?

Yes. We shoot both true twilight and simulated twilight depending on the look you want. True twilight requires a specific window of time around sunset.

Can you shoot while residents are present?

Yes, as long as access is arranged in advance. For occupied units, we ask that spaces are prepped and ready before our arrival.

Delivery and brand standards

When will we receive the finished work?

Standard delivery is 3 to 5 business days for photos and 7 to 10 business days for videos after filming. Larger productions or more involved edits may take 2 to 3 weeks. Share your deadline when booking so we can confirm the schedule and any rush options.

Can you work with our brand guidelines?

Yes. We adjust color, framing, pacing, style, and overall edit direction to match your brand standards or your existing marketing assets.

What video formats do you deliver?

We provide files ready for property websites, ILS platforms, social ads, leasing screens, and internal team use. This includes web-optimized MP4, vertical and square cuts for social, 4K masters, and any custom ratios your marketing team needs. All final videos come with clean versions and compressed versions for easy upload.

Portfolio and ongoing work

Can you handle shoots across multiple properties?

Yes. We work with property groups, developers, REITs, and commercial clients who need coverage across several assets at once. We manage scheduling and delivery for all sites.

Can you create videos for social media?

Yes. We create vertical, square, and landscape edits with captions and formats suited to the channels your team uses. These can be planned as part of a shoot or made from existing footage.

Do you offer video editing and motion graphics services only?

Yes, we can handle post-production independently if you have existing footage. Our motion graphics team specializes in transforming raw data and static slides into animated visuals. We also provide expert video editing to polish existing corporate content that needs improvement.
