Before-and-after is the most trusted format
Transformation content shows buyers that you can deliver, not just that you have nice photos of a finished space.

How a remodel video works
1
Plan angles before work starts
We identify the key camera positions, or you mark them on a floor plan for larger projects, so the after shots match exactly.
2
Capture before images and video
We shoot the space before the work begins: photos and video from each planned angle with consistent framing.
3
Complete your remodel
Do your work. We stay out of the way until the project is done and the space is cleaned and staged for the reveal.
4
Return for the after shoot
We come back and photograph and film from the same positions to capture the finished result at its best.
5
Edit the transformation video
We build the before-and-after edit, photo comparisons, video reveal, animated transitions, into a polished deliverable.
6
Deliver horizontal and vertical versions
You receive a website/trade show version and a social-ready vertical version for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

Remodel video questions answered
Have an active project? Text (513) 437-1915 and we'll confirm logistics.
Do you need to shoot before the remodel starts?
For the best transformation video, yes. If 513Shutter captures the before images, we can match angles precisely on the return visit. That angle consistency is what makes the before-and-after edit look dramatic and professional. If your project is already underway, contact us and we'll work with what's available.
Can you use photos or video we already have?
Yes. If you have quality before photos or video from a previous shoot, phone, or camera, we may be able to match those angles when we capture the after. Send us samples before booking and we'll let you know what will work.
Can you create vertical reels for social media?
Yes. Vertical (9:16) versions of the before-and-after video are available for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Horizontal versions for your website and trade show use are also available. Most clients request both.
Is this good for contractors and remodelers?
This service is designed specifically for contractors, kitchen and bath companies, flooring installers, painters, exterior contractors, deck builders, and other home improvement businesses. Transformation content is among the highest-performing video on social media for home improvement companies.
What types of projects work best for transformation video?
Kitchens, primary bathrooms, finished basements, complete interior renovations, exterior overhauls, decks and outdoor living spaces, and whole-home remodels all produce strong transformation content. Projects with clear visual before-and-after contrast work best.
What are the deliverable formats?
Standard deliverables include a horizontal video (16:9) for website and trade show use, a vertical version (9:16) for social media, and individual before-and-after still images. Additional formats available on request.
