Ozark Land Showcase:
Your Land's Unique Assets
You know your land better than anyone else. Certainly, better than any realtor could. You've walked it, worked it and enjoyed it. That's why our videos include an interview with the property owners. Prospects hear "first-hand" ( in your words ) what makes your property special. WORKING ( OR ) "GENTLEMAN'S RANCHES" No realtor can convey the passion of owning and working your land. Only you can do that! Our video's artfully illustrate your words with video footage we've shot on your property ( -so prospects can see and hear what you're talking about ). We capture your land's beauty and emphasize it's profit-potential so you can get "top-dollar" for it!
Every property is different. Each has it's own special assets, profit potential and allure. Beyond merely rattling off the "stats" ( i.e: your land's acreage, water, timber, mineral assets, structures, improvements ) as typical land companies and realtors do, we also give FAMILY TRADITION: LAND STEWARDSHIP prospects the "back story" of your land. In many cases that's a "multi-generational" investment of time and hard work ( -to bring your land to it's current state of development ). It's a story that's often "missed" by land hawkers and quick-buck realtors. We tell your story so the buyer knows and appreciates your land's true worth.
We can ( -with your help ) tell prospects the "history" of your farm, ranch ( or ) recreational property. Your family's heritage of good stewardship. That'll mean something to buyers, adding "intrinsic value". More over,
it reassures prospects your land has been "well taken care of". Many realtors and land companies gloss over or completely omit this point.
Reaching prospects: DVD's and the Internet...
Having a "Legacy" DVD you can send to serious prospects tells them YOU think your property is special!
That'll immediately impress them. WHY? Because most pro- perty sellers rely solely upon the trite photos ( or ) cliche'd "COLOR RICH" PHOTOGRAPHY and VIDEO
"check-the-box" videos their land company or realtor has slapped together to "move" your property. We treat your "Showcase" video like a true cinematic work of art ( -with shots, editing and back-ground music ) that presents your land at it's very best.
Unlike many land companies, we wait for a bright, sunny day to shoot your outdoor shots -to maximize the beauty of your land. Amazingly, many land companies and realtors shoot their photos and videos regardless of the weather. Believe me, dark, cloudy overcast days and grainy, muted colors WON'T show your property at it's best! We WAIT
for a sunny day to capture the rich colors and spectacular lighting conditions that'll make buyers want to purchase your land!
The convenience of DVD's plus a You Tube series...
Once we've shot, edited and scored your video ( -we pour about two weeks of work into each one ), we'll supply you with ( 5 ) DVD copies
you can send to serious prospects. This is especially helpful with out-of-town prospects. Our "next thing to being there" video may be just the trigger necessary get your prospects in the car ( -or on a plane ) to visit your property in person!
Our "Showcase" DVD's give your prospects what they need to know. They get them beyond
the "just looking" stage.
Send your serious prospects one. They'll be impressed. They can watch it at their leisure in the comfort of their own home.
SEND SERIOUS PROSPECTS A DVD!
It's a great way to go beyond the grainy B&W stills and "cookie-cutter" videos typical of most land companies and realtors. And prospects will notice and appreciate the difference!
"Ozarks Farm and Ranch Showcase"
In addition to DVD"s, a shortened ( 10-minute ) version of your video will air on our "Ozarks Down" You Tube Channel for a month. You'll not only reach local prospects but potential buyers country wide as well as global prospects -in any country You Tube reaches!

What to expect. Day One of your Shoot...
It normally takes two days of on-site filming to capture the video footage needed to assemble a "Farm and Ranch" DVD. The two "film days" start at sunrise - with you, your son, daughter ( or ) a knowledgeable foreman picking us up and driving us out to your farm or ranch.
COLOR, COMPOSITION and LIGHTING!
We capture our video footage at the times best suited to show-off your
farm or ranch's assets at their BEST.
Timing and lighting makes a difference!
Upon arriving, we'll gather some sunrise "beauty shots" ( i.e: fence line, road-in, "ranch sign" shots, etc. ) along with some long shots showing your farm house, barns, fields, pastures and your operation's general layout and expanse in the early-to-mid morning light.
As the morning progresses - we'll visit your important farm and ranch "assets" ( i.e: barns, corrals, workshops, fields, pastures, irrigation systems, wells and important land or water assets - like river or creek frontage, lakes, ponds, springs, caves, etc. ) you'd like us to show in
your video.
Around noon, we'll take a lunch break. We'll resume filming indoors ( -gathering interior footage of your farm house ). While there -usually the first day - we'll do an interview with you and any family members, foreman or farm hands you'd like to have present. We usually do the interview segment 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM ( or ) about an hour and a half before sunset til sundown ( -on your front porch if you prefer it to be done there ). You, your family members and foreman can include their input, insights and farm history to the video's "mix".
If you or some in your family are musical - we'll record their original tunes ( -to avoid copyright hassles! ) at that time -so we can include their music in the video's soundtrack. So, have those guitars and fiddles tuned, rosined-up and ready to go!
Day Two of your Shoot:
CAPTURE YOUR FAMILY'S LEGACY!
Immortalize your family's farm ( or ) ranch legacy for future generations! Or simply use
our DVD's to attract prospective buyers.
The second day follows the pattern of the first - with "bits" not filmed the first day "gotten to" the second day. After you, a family member or your foreman drives us home the second day, we'll devote a week or two to editing the footage we've gathered ( -adding any additional narration required. We'll also score your video's music soundtrack -including any music your family members provided when we were there ).
Once completed - allow two to three weeks - you'll receive ( 5 ) copies of your DVD in the mail along with a note telling you when your "Farm and Ranch Showcase" segment will be posted online.
