Thanks. The harder part is getting all the info to tell the good stories. That's where a site like this is super handy! Thanks for the kind words.

Hello! My name is Joshua & my wife is Natsuko. We are Chibi Moku and travel around the country in our RV filming architectural stories and documentaries.

We joined this forum because a lot of our work revolves around research for our documentaries and there is so much good information on here. We don't film real estate, so we aren't here looking for work. We are looking forward to getting great information and help from people when we have technical questions about architecture and developments.

We have been living on the road for over 3 years straight without a home and are actually in Europe for the summer filming. We are beginning another documentary about sustainable design so we have started to research for things here.

We look forward to talking with many of you.

I do not understand why all homes over 3M do not have a professional video. The margins are so big, it just seems worth it. Isn't it a tax write off as well? We shoot projects internationally for homes ranging from 1M to 50M, and our clients seem to keep coming back for them.

Remember, video is only useful if it's good.

We don't make a fuss about copyrights...but tons of good photographers do (and rightfully so). The way we see it...unless they get used by someone else, we don't make any trouble with copyrights. It's one thing to take photos of a famous place that gets used in a magazine...it's a totally different one for listings for a home (in our book).
