Mike Stricklin commented on TourBuzz Support's blog post Auto Generated Narration: Need your Feedback"Guys, I like this feature. Of the three the neospeech appears to be the best product of the three. OBEO advertises a price of $20+ for audio. I'll know more in a few days as I'm doing a presentation for a major broker and their agents.…"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Video-in-Tours feature available for testing!"Alan you sound like you're right on track! Thanks Mike"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Commercial Tours: How are they different?"Alan,
I didn't like the "viewer" either. I liked the graphic and thumbnails below the graphic. We most definitely need the Tourbuzz tour. The presentation.
Thanks Mike"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Commercial Tours: How are they different?"Anyone want to chime in on the Casa Monica Hotel site? I think we need something like this for commercial tours. To be more exact, commercial tours are going to be mostly interested in the embedded tour they can resize but it would be nice to have a…"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Commercial Tours: How are they different?"Putting myself in the shoes of a restaurant, hotel or business owner, the purpose for purchasing a VT is to enhance my website. The virtual tour enables me to show my facility as though someone were there. It is just a cog in the wheel within my…"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Should TourBuzz offer Self-Service Tours for Agents?"Alan your point is a good one and I understand the logic behind it. I think we have to have both options - "unlimited" monthly model or per-tour model. I say this because OBEO and Tour Factory (not sure about Visual Tour) offer unlimited…"
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion Should TourBuzz offer Self-Service Tours for Agents?"I'm currently working with our local newspaper. They want to sell themselves to the area brokers and agents as "the one call does it all." So when an agent gets a listing, they contact the newspaper (self-service account) and…"
Mike Stricklin commented on Ted Barrow's blog post Tours not loading properly"Yes... it's been happening more often than it should. Usually the first scene will play but it will not forward to the second in auto play or by clicking next."
Mike Stricklin commented on Paul Rodman's blog post Pick the new TourBuzz Logo"I like #1. In choosing a logo it should be clean, original and not to busy. The icon projects direction - nice. The only tweaking would be increasing the font size of the description under Tourbuzz. Second choice would be #3."
Mike Stricklin replied to Alan Pinstein's discussion TourBuzz Design Improvements"Alan and Paul, first thank you for your hard work and commitment! Here are my general thoughts on the viewer and skin. We have two clients - Real Estate and Commercial. In both cases the viewing window (size and image quality) are priority #1,…"
Nathan Strauch replied to Mike Stricklin's discussion 'Video Tour Provider that has Marketed Well - Including National News'"Mike,
You're right. Video can be useful, but it has allot of limitations. We used to offer video services, but the production costs were much higher and clients didn't like having to rewind and fast forward to take a look at an area for a…"

In response to BestHD's question "here is a property with a cb movie and 2nd link is tourbuzz floorplan tour of same home, what would you rather look at?" The answer is obvious the virtual tour done with a camera. Video tours are darker, colors aren't as vivid and windows are blown-out. Video has its place for example if you're interviewing a home builder (people in the tour). In 99 out of 100 cases, video is second to virtual tours.

Jason Godfrey said… - Hey Mike, thanks for your comments. I appreciate you taking an interest in my work. I am using various methods of postprocessing. I am slowly getting more comfortable as far PS cs3. Photography and all that comes with the art has been a major focus of mine for the last few years. I have focused on Real Estate/Architectural imagery mainly due to a feeling of this niche being in high demand more than ever before.
