2 Hei guys. These are 2 videos I've taken while I'm a funeral director in New Zealand.
At times I'm based in these two funeral homes, so i decided to give it a go and try to make some video advertisement.
I've used the avata.
What do you think?

121 Hi! I’m also a licensed funeral director and embalmer.
I’m in the USA.
Both of those videos are great. Your flight is smooth, with very little bouncing up and down or sharp movements.
I have a little bit of constructive criticism, I hope that’s okay.
I’d suggest:
-not showing outside shots where you primarily see city/street/powerlines. Try not to show the back where you see garage doors.
-slow it down. Slow down your flight, or slow down your video in post.
-focus on the parts that families will see. The entrance, the arrangement room, the chapel. The outside is less important. Unless you’ve got a pretty garden, I’d suggest not showing off the driveway/carport.
-your second video: that interior is beautiful, I love the colors and the contrast. Whoever the interior designer was did a great job. I imagine it looks wonderful in person, but, because of all the darker colors, it doesn’t show up as well as it could in the video. I know that we typically use soft lighting inside of a funeral home, but, I’d suggest considering brighter lighting while filming. I think it might help show how calming and beautiful it is in person.
I hope that helps. I’m not trying to tear apart what you’ve done- I’m impressed. You have great flow.
Dangerous operations.
Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.
I wish I could get the smell of burnt electronics out of my nose.
