How to Make a Video for a New-Build Community or Subdivision Launch

A community launch video sells the place before the houses exist: the amenity centre, the model park, the trails and the school, the drive from the city, and the plan of the phases from the air. Then each model gets its own video, reused across the lots that use it, with the caption saying which model, which lot and which upgrades the video shows.

The community

A drone fly-over of the site from a licensed pilot's stills shows the phases and the amenity; a tracking walk through the amenity centre and along the trail shows the life. A drive-in clip from the highway shows the commute.

The models

One video per model per the new construction guide — a dolly into the great room, a staircase climb, an overhead rise over the island — reused for every lot on that plan, with the caption naming the model and the upgrades.

Progress and honesty

A monthly clip of the site's progress keeps the launch alive on social. Every video says which lot and which stage; the model's finishes are never implied for a base-spec home.

Questions

How many videos does a launch need?

One community video, one per model, and a monthly progress clip. The model videos are reused across dozens of lots.

Can the sales team make these themselves?

Yes — three photos per room of each model, and the community photos and aerials, and the whole set is built in an afternoon.
