Visual Production Proposal — Manalapan Estate

01 — Introduction

A 13,000-square-foot oceanfront residence demands a visual treatment commensurate with its tier — one that honors the architecture, atmosphere, and quiet ambition of the property.

For listings of this caliber, single-discipline coverage is rarely enough. Photography sells the still moment; video sells the lived experience. This proposal pairs the two — produced together, on the same day, by collaborators who have done it before.

02 — The Team

Co-produced, by design.

Optional + Add-On

Content Campaign — keep the listing in the feed.

Four additional scripted reels, captured during the same production days. Hooks, pacing, and posting cadence planned in advance — so the property stays in front of buyers for three to four weeks instead of a single post-and-done. Designed for the broker's social channel and reposting by interested parties.
