The weather cleared up in Honolulu for the first time in a week. First the rain, then the VOG, (volcanic smog from the Big Island) plus no trades = haze.

re back and blue-skies so Neal Izumi and I headed up to Nuuanu Valley to shoot the exterior shots of 34 Gartley Place plus the added footage of the local park (Queen Emma’s Summer Palace…royally beautiful), school (Nuuanu Elementary idyllic rainbow painted set amidst the Pali’s) and Oahu Golf Club (I would walk this course even if I never hit a golf ball…another world of emerald).
Yesterday we had the pleasure of shooting stills and video tour of fully renovated open floor home near the 16 th tee of the Waialae Golf course. It was a challenge because of its strength, a home open to the beautiful enclosed lawn and pool from ever part of the house.
That juxtaposition always poses a challenge because of the bright sun outside and the relatively dark interior. Can’t wait to see the 2 completed tours.
Ever since I first saw the Earth from space I fell in love with the living planet that is our home.
When I was a kid I had many dreams of flying, I mean I actually flew in my dreams.
Now I can combine these 2 experiences and bring a dramatic and useful experience to those seeking a new home. We offer Zoom In and Fly To video intros to our High- Def Walk Through Real Estate Video Tours.
The viewer starts high in the sky and zooms down to a neighborhood on Oahu right down to the individual home. You get a sense of place and where you are on the Planet and the Island.
From there we launch into our video which usually starts with an pan around the neighborhood and then an entrance through the front door.
Look for a demo of this cool option (standard on our high end “Show Time” package) in the near future.
