As a full service company, we always keep the requirements and desires of the client at the forefront of our minds when we undertake a project. Weather not quite right? We'll return when it is. One of the images looks a little 'washed out'? We'll return to re-shoot until you are happy.
Please read on to find out a little more about our service:
Planning
If yours is a single establishment, or you are fairly
certain of what you want to achieve, then we can probably
arrange everything via phone and email. We will discuss
the number of images, the day of the shoot and costs.
We will also try to arrange a date and time to do
the shoot.
If you are a larger establishment, would like to discuss
terms face to face, have more needs or are part of
a group, then we will send a representative to visit
you at your premises. We can then plan out the entire
schedule and you will be presented with a simple,
one contact, one contract solution.
Web, CDs or both
Are you looking to use virtual tours on your
website, or would you like to distribute them on CD
to your prospective customer? We can supply CDs with
the virtual tours at very reasonable rates. Please
call for rates.
Resolution
We will also discuss the resolution possibilities.
Higher resolution = better tour but also means longer
download times – this is generally ok with a
corporate audience sourcing conference rooms etc,
as they are normally on Broadband. Therefore we now include as standard
lower resolution images for home
use however, along with four different viewer types for each virtual tour. This ensures all users are able to view the tours.
The day of the shoot
We will arrive at your establishment in good time
to discuss exactly what we’re going to do, and
gain your approval. Please be aware that due to our
exacting standards each image can take around 30 minutes
to shoot and check on the laptop – so please
allow plenty of time.
Our experience will allow us to suggest good ideas for tours, and make decisions around lighting etc. On the subject of lighting – this is all-important with virtual tours – each image has to be shot under the same conditions or poor results would follow. Some virtual tour companies may not take the time that we do in these areas – subsequently their tours may not do full justice to your establishment.
We would normally ask that you prepare any rooms or areas as you would like them to appear on the tour. We will then take several shots of each tour and load the resultant images on to our laptop.
We then quickly put the images together and ask you to sign a preliminary approval form once you have viewed them. This means simply that you have been shown the images and feel they look good. Please bear in mind these are not the finished article. Ours is a similar process to normal photography where you may get to view a picture on the viewer of the camera, and approve it verbally prior to seeing the developed version a few days later.
Our commitment to
you
We’ve had a good look around the various websites
out there and have to say that the popularity of virtual
tours is obviously increasing. However, there are
plenty of virtual tour providers who perhaps don’t
go that extra mile to produce a very high-quality
image.
