POV Studio for Construction

POV Video for
Construction & Homebuilders

We turn the site where a home goes up, from raising the frame to finish work and handover, into first-person (POV) vertical short video seen as the craftspeople and the owners see it, and use it to drive open-house bookings and brochure requests. As the first SNS marketing company in Japan to be an official Insta360 partner, we bring high-quality creative to everything end to end, from deciding what to show to filming, editing, posting on Instagram and TikTok and turning the videos that land into ads, shaped to your business.

Why POV

4 benefits of POV video for construction and homebuilders

  • Illustration of a high-school student pausing with a blank job posting in hand, and a construction site hidden behind white hoarding

    Merit 01

    Longer viewing

    Your crew's work comes through as it is

    With only progress and completion photos, no one can tell whose work it is. POV that follows a craftsman's view from setup to cleanup gets watched to the end, workmanship and all.

  • Illustration of an open-house venue with rows of chairs and only a scattering of people seated

    Merit 02

    Lasting open houses

    Open houses reach people who couldn't come

    Open houses are capped by headcount and dates, and those who couldn't come get nothing. POV that walks through the venue in order lets them relive the tour afterward.

  • Illustration of an outdoor noticeboard with just a few paper job ads pinned to it

    Merit 03

    No performers

    Show a day on site without showing faces

    The feel of the site that high school students want to check is in neither job ads nor your website. With POV the camera becomes the craftsman's eyes, so you can show a day's work without asking anyone to appear.

  • Illustration of a construction site under steel scaffolding and a helmet rack with obvious gaps

    Merit 04

    Plenty of videos

    Plenty of videos without a camera crew

    Assign someone to hold a camera and their work stops. POV follows the work with a body-worn camera, so no one has to film, and one visit yields footage for many videos.

Why TripClear

Four reasons construction firms and homebuilders choose TripClear for POV video

  • Illustration of a studio where a person wearing a chest-mounted first-person camera is flanked by a director at a monitor and an editor in headphones

    Reason 01

    Japan's first

    A professional POV team

    The camera is worn on the body and follows a day's work, showing only what the craftsman sees. It's filmed by Japan's first social media marketing company to become an official Insta360 partner.

  • Illustration of play, heart and save icons rising from a row of vertical phones, with a growth curve behind and a sprout at their feet

    Reason 02

    10M+views/month

    An organic track record that speaks for itself

    With the eye we built growing accounts without ad spend, we send the videos that get a response into ads targeted at your local area. Open house videos are delivered cleared for reuse, so you can send them to those who couldn't attend.

  • Illustration of cards showing the scenes to feature, connected by arrows to a vertical video frame

    Reason 03

    Sharp angles

    Hands-on insight across industries

    From your annual schedule and open house dates, we lock in which sites to film and when. Here we also decide whose view to follow, from morning setup to cleanup.

  • Illustration of icons for strategy, planning, filming, posting and analysis on a single loop around a vertical phone

    Reason 04

    Fully handled

    From filming to reuse, all in one place

    A six-hour visit gives 8 to 10 videos, and the few weeks when heavy machinery is on site build up months of content. Scenes of young workers being taught are filmed the same day for your project and careers pages.

Process

How it actually runs in construction, from concept through delivery and reuse

Workflow

From deciding whose point of view to use, through filming, editing, delivery and repurposing into ads, supported as one continuous process

Concept and shoot plan

Whose point of view shows which stage gets decided first.

Phase02

Filming (crewed, or equipment on loan)

We join a routine site visit or a framing day and film it all in one go.

Illustration of the editing phase: producing captions and thumbnails

Phase03

Editing and review

We look at both the pace people will watch and whether the information should be public.

Delivery, reuse, and managing the stock

Not finished at delivery, but used again as an asset.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked by construction firms and homebuilders

Have you produced this for construction firms before?

We show work from close industries and walk through the process when we meet. What you judge us on is the proposal and shoot plan we bring to the first meeting, and how the shoot is organised. We can also start with a single video to see how it fits your sites.

We share case studies with builders and construction companies and results from similar industries, along with how we would proceed, when we talk.

Our tradespeople don't want to be on camera. Does that still work?

It works without faces. POV films exactly what the operator sees, so no talent is needed. What appears is the movement of hands, the tools, the materials and the sound of the site. We build it to stand up on text and pacing.

Will filming get in the way of site safety or the programme?

We set it up so it doesn't. No separate day is arranged. We simply join a day when people are already moving, like a routine visit or the framing. Don't stop the work, don't enter hazardous areas, don't film anything with protective equipment removed. That line gets agreed up front.

Can you still get the numbers up on trades like craning, where the window is narrow?

Yes. The key is how far you can film ahead while the window is open. We hold batch-filmed material as stock and keep the count up in quiet months from that stock and from ideas that don't depend on live work.

We want this ready for a completed-home open house. How fast can you deliver?

Concept to delivery takes as little as seven working days. What we usually suggest is a short announcement video first, then the day itself published as a room tour the following week. We hand you a plan worked back from the date at the start.

Can the delivered files be used on our own site and recruitment pages?

On project pages and recruitment pages both. Secondary use is included, so they also work in company brochures and on exhibition screens. Anything that takes off can go into ads targeted at your catchment.

What does it cost, and what is the going rate?

Social media management and POV video production come as a single plan, from JPY 300,000 a month. Pricing moves with the number of videos and the ideas behind them, so we quote individually once we know how often you want to film and what the concepts are. Secondary use is allowed, and recommendations for linking with ads are included. There is no charge for filming equipment (as an official Insta360 partner, we lend it). If ads are run, media spend is charged separately at cost.

Which company runs this service?

TripClear Inc., based in Shinsen-cho, Shibuya, Tokyo. Our core is social media management and vertical short-form video production, and we support construction firms and homebuilders. For the company profile, see Company.

Do you also work with construction companies and housing makers, not only builders?

Yes. Builders, construction companies, housing makers and renovation companies all use the same approach of showing the site and the craftspeople at work.

The approach also builds in the long consideration period typical of the housing industry.
