What Is a $295 Starter Listing Video Teaser, and How Do You Judge One?
The starter teaser is a short cinematic cut of your property, about 15 seconds long, that Legacy Luxury Media makes with AI from 3 to 4 of your existing listing photos. It costs $295, and the full $295 is credited toward a bigger package such as the $450 walkthrough film. Judge it on one question: does it look like your property and make you want to stay there?
See a sample first
This sample reel was made from existing listing photos. No crew and no shoot day.
You can also watch the sample reel on Google Drive.
What you get with the starter teaser
- About 15 seconds. Long enough to see the style on your own property.
- 3 to 4 of your photos. The exterior, the room that sells the stay and your best view.
- Silent. No music is added, so you can pair it with your own track later.
- $295, credited in full. If you move to a bigger package, the whole $295 comes off its price.
There is no shoot day and no crew. You send your listing link or the photos, and the teaser is built from what you already have.
How to judge the teaser
Watch it a few times and ask these questions.
Does it still look like your property?
This matters most. Light, color and geometry should stay true to what you shot, and no room should appear that does not exist. If anything looks off, say so.
Does the motion feel natural?
The camera should feel like it is moving through the space, not sliding a flat photo across the screen. Watch the edges of furniture, doorways and windows as the shot moves.
Does the first shot make you want to see more?
The exterior or the best view usually opens the cut. If the first two seconds would not stop you mid scroll, tell us which of your photos you think is stronger.
Does it match how you want guests to feel?
A lakeside cabin, a vineyard estate and a city loft should not feel the same. Check that the mood fits the stay you are selling.
Does it work where guests will see it?
Watch it on your phone as well as a laptop. Try it with the sound off and with a track you like.
What the teaser does not show you
A 15 second cut from 3 to 4 photos cannot show the full sequence. The full walkthrough film is 60 to 90 seconds from 8 to 12 photos, delivered in 1080p, and runs six scenes in order: the exterior at golden hour, the pool or main outdoor space, twilight with the lights on, the living room, the kitchen and the primary suite. We explained why that order works in What Should a Vacation Rental Listing Video Show, and in What Order?
If your photos are not strong enough
- A shot is missing. If a hero shot is missing, such as the exterior at dusk, the pool or the kitchen, we tell you exactly which one to grab from your phone.
- Your photos are too weak. We tell you honestly before you pay. For those properties there is a guided shoot kit: a ten minute shot list you film on your phone, which we then make cinematic.
Moving to the full walkthrough
The full film is $450 flat, with one revision included and a first draft within 72 hours of receiving your photos. The $295 you paid for the teaser is credited in full toward it. You license your photos to us to produce the film, you own the finished film, and we only show it in our portfolio with your written ok.
