If you’ve never booked an indoor drone flythrough video before, you might be wondering: “What’s the process like? How do we go from idea to a finished video that I can use in my marketing?”

At Indoor Drone Tours, we’ve built our process to be seamless, fast, and creative — designed for busy commercial real estate marketing teams who need premium content without headaches.

Here’s exactly what you can expect when you work with us.

1. The First Sales Call: Vision + Planning

This isn’t a “hard-sell” meeting with a suit and tie. Our sales team is made up of content creators and real estate experts who understand both property marketing and storytelling.

• Call length: 15–30 minutes over video.
• What happens: We’ll listen to your goals, review property details, and walk through our packages and add-on options — like social media versions, email GIFs, or website header videos.
• Deliverables: A proposal will land in your inbox quickly (sometimes within 30 minutes, usually same-day) so your project can get moving fast.

2. Pre-Production: Aligning the Vision

Once you approve your package, pre-production begins. You’ll meet with your project manager and, if you like, other members of your team who want input on the creative direction.

• What happens: We’ll talk shot lists, branding guidelines, tone, and specific requests.
• Deliverable: A production guide that outlines everything — ensuring smooth communication from sales → project management → on-site creatives.
• Benefit: You don’t have to repeat yourself to every team member. Everyone at IDT is aligned before shoot day.

3. On-Site Production: Where the Magic Happens

On shoot day, our crew (usually 1–2 creatives depending on package level) will arrive and walk the space with your team. This is where the words in the production guide become a visual plan.

• Staging people: If your video involves staff, tenants, or actors, we’ll choreograph movement, assign cues, and rehearse for their big “fly-by” moment.
• Live monitoring: You can watch flights in real time on our monitor or phone screen, and even review raw footage on-site to give a thumbs-up.
• Multiple takes: We fly paths multiple times to capture options for editing.
• Timeframe: Most shoots take ~4 hours; larger or more complex projects may require a full day or multiple days.

4. Post-Production: Bringing the Story to Life

After the shoot, our editors get to work. This is where the raw footage transforms into a premium marketing asset.

• Turnaround:
  • Real estate projects → draft within 3–5 business days
  • Premium/special projects → draft within 7–10 business days
• Revisions: You’ll collaborate with us on text, graphics, speed, music, design, and more until it’s perfect.
• Creative polish: Color grading, sound design, animations, broker interviews, and graphics elevate the video into a story that sells.

5. Final Delivery: Your Marketing Asset

Once finalized, you’ll receive actual video files — not a locked-up link in someone else’s platform.

That means you can distribute your drone flythrough anywhere:

• LinkedIn ads
• Social media posts
• Email campaigns
• Website headers
• Paid advertising
• Property listing platforms

👉 Unlike 360° tours or Matterport players, your flythrough is a flexible video asset you can use across every channel of your go-to-market strategy.
