Real Estate Video Opportunities to help grow your business.
HD Video online is a reality. Sorlie Arts is able to help you market not only your listings, but also YOURSELVES to your potential and existing clients.
With virtually every home in North America now having multiple computers with high-speed internet, it isn’t difficult at all to incorporate a video onto your website or MLS listing. Sorlie Arts will visit your listing, take about an hour to film the house or property, and then provide you with either a Quicktime video or a Flash file that you can then add to your website until the property sells.
Another great marketing tool is a brief promotional video about yourself and perhaps your firm explaining what it’s like to work with you and perhaps including some video testimonials from your happy clients.
One of our customers asked us to create a memento video of the new house they bought after they sold their old house using a Sorlie Arts video!
Real Estate Videos can be built into your existing webpage, or you can request a custom micro-site built by Sorlie Arts with the listing address as the domain name

Website Video Production
Now more than ever, people are looking to video content for their websites to stand out from the static, text heavy websites of the past. Adding video to your website not only raises your profile in popular search engines, but it also gives you an increased level of credibility with your customer or end-user. In this global economy, customers like to know who they are dealing with. They like seeing faces and names and being shown what it is they are considering purchasing. Sorlie Arts has the ability to showcase not only the important details of your product or service, but also the highly crucial personalities behind the brands.
The biggest thing to consider when planning video for your website is how easy it is to actually do. We can come in to your place of business and in some cases be done within an hour or so – depending on the scope of your ideas! You don’t have to ‘memorize your lines’ – in fact – we prefer to just film conversations and take the best clips we get. When you speak from the heart about your passion – the footage looks, feels & sounds better. And on the other end of the spectrum, when you are trying to read from a script, you appear less genuine and that also shows through the video!
Give us a call and we’ll get together and make a plan for how to move forward.
Contact us by email or by phone (705) 727-1547. We’ll arrange to meet and discuss how Sorlie Arts can help your business grow!

Change is Good – New Logo & Website
We’re very excited to launch our new branding. We’ve been working on the idea of freshening up our image since late last year. In fact, we have a bunch of ideas in our minds about how to change Sorlie Arts for the better moving forward. When we started over a year ago now, designing a logo was a few sketches, a tweak here and there and then we were done. We ordered the business cards and went with it.
This time around, we opted to take a bit more time and with our friends at Thain Creative (amazing branding company for those interested), we came up with this logo…
We had a funny incident happen while this logo was in the works. We had a few concepts on the go so I decided to put my favourite (at the time) idea on Facebook. After 23 replies (thank you all by the way), we discovered that our ‘E’ in Sorlie had looked a bit too much like an ‘F’ and well – you can figure out what happened there – Sorlie Fa- well – you get the idea… Laugh all you want! I can take it!
This new branding along with our newly renovated website is part of our goal to be accessible and easily understood. We found that our old website was a bit too busy – hopefully this one will help those who are looking for our wedding films to find what they are looking for while those who are looking for our corporate video will also find what they are looking for.
We are actually working on a brand new company that will be the home to our wedding films while Sorlie Arts will focus on the business/corporate side of things. Stay tuned for more on that. We are pretty anxious to share our new company with you when it’s all ready. Thain Creative is helping us with that as well.
And as if that change was not enough! We have started filming with the Canon Eos 5D Mark II HD SLR camera. We still love our Canon XH-A1S video camera, but we found that we need to make the jump to this smaller, compact still camera that takes video to the next level. The fact that you can change lenses on the go gives us the opportunity to provide the stunning visual quality we aim for. You will start to see more and more clips in the next little while that feature the new camera including this house tour and this promo video.
Thanks for sticking with us. We are excited about all the amazing people we have the opportunity to work with this year both from a wedding standpoint and a corporate standpoint.

- News & Updates, Same Day Edits
Same Day Edit – Awaken Workshops
This is our first ever Same Day Edit. We’re very excited about the possibilities for Same Day Edits in the future. If you don’t know what a Same Day Edit is, you’re in for an amazing experience! This 3-4 minute short highlights style film is shot and edited at your event and prepared to be shown to your guests that night! The opportunities are seemingly limitless! We surprised the room when we showed them what we were working on all day! Have a look!
Because this was our first ever SDE, we opted not to include any natural audio from the speakers. We were nervous and feeling a bit overwhelmed as we were trying to get the first one done to show our new photographer friends. Future SDEs will have audio – can’t wait to show you the next one we do!
