Why Co-living Needs Video Retouching

In the Co-living sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Video Retouching delivers measurable results that transform how co-living professionals communicate with their audience.

Specific Challenges for Co-living

Coliving spaces sell a lifestyle, not just square meters, and video is the medium that conveys shared experiences most effectively. The production must capture communal kitchens during evening cook-offs, coworking desks buzzing with laptop activity, and rooftop gatherings — all while featuring real residents rather than actors to maintain authenticity. The target demographic is 25-35 year-old remote workers and digital nomads who discover spaces through YouTube tours and TikTok vlogs. A typical content package includes a 2-minute brand film, monthly community event recaps, and resident testimonial clips. Budgets range from 2,000 to 6,000 euros per quarter, with the main KPI being application-to-move-in conversion rate.

Video Challenges in Co-living

Standing Out in a Visual Market

Properties with professional video tours sell 20% faster than those with photos alone. Yet 65% of real estate agencies still rely primarily on static images, missing a critical opportunity to engage buyers emotionally.

Virtual tours, drone footage, and cinematic property showcases have become the new standard for luxury and mid-range listings alike. The challenge lies in producing content that captures the atmosphere and lifestyle a property offers, not just its dimensions.

With 95% of buyers starting their search online, video is no longer optional — it's the first showing. Agencies that invest in professional video report 403% more inquiries on their listings.

Success Stories & Case Studies

Luxury Estate Showcase — Paris 16th

A luxury real estate agency commissioned a cinematic property film combining drone aerials, steadicam interior tours, and lifestyle vignettes. The 3-minute video generated 2.4M views on social media and the property sold within 10 days at asking price.

New Development Pre-Sales

A property developer used animated 3D walkthroughs for an off-plan development. Pre-sales reached 78% before construction completion, compared to their usual 45% benchmark. The investment in video production returned 12x in accelerated sales.

Key Benefits for Co-living

Measurable Impact

Professional real estate video delivers quantifiable results: 73% of homeowners prefer agents who use video, listings with video receive 403% more inquiries, and virtual tours reduce unnecessary physical visits by 40%, saving time for both agents and buyers.

Drone footage adds a premium perception, with aerial property videos commanding 8-12% higher perceived value. For new developments, animated 3D tours enable pre-sales months before construction is complete.

Our Video Retouching Process

VFX Pipeline

1. Plate Preparation: Shot analysis, camera tracking, rotoscoping, and clean plate generation for smooth integration.

2. Asset Creation: 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting of CG elements to match the live-action plate perfectly.

3. Compositing: Multi-layer compositing in Nuke/After Effects with color matching, grain matching, lens distortion, and atmospheric effects.

4. QC & Delivery: Frame-by-frame quality control, final render at full resolution, and delivery with VFX breakdown documentation.

What Makes Video Retouching Unique

Video retouching applies frame-level corrections to remove unwanted elements — skin blemishes, logos, wires, reflections, crew visible in mirrors, or any object that shouldn't be in the shot. We use content-aware fill, clone stamping, and frequency separation techniques adapted from high-end photo retouching, applied across every frame of the affected region. This is different from VFX (which adds elements) — retouching subtracts them. Turnaround is 1-3 days per shot depending on the area size and movement. We deliver the cleaned footage as a drop-in replacement clip matching your original codec and resolution.

What You Receive

You receive: final composited shots in ProRes 4444/EXR, VFX breakdown reel, individual element passes (beauty, diffuse, specular, alpha), and project files.
