Create Compelling Presentations With Locamundo

Here's a true story for you:

Back in 2014, I was on a ski trip in Northern Sweden. The line for the lift was long, but within fifteen minutes, it would be my turn along with my children's. Suddenly, my phone rang, and a familiar voice came on. It was a production manager I had worked with a lot, and I was informed that they were in a crisis. They were scheduled to film in a luxurious villa in two days, but suddenly, the owner had experienced a family bereavement and had to back out.

"Do you have anything in your database?" the production manager asked, clearly on the verge of panic and her voice trembling. Her desperation was palpable, and tears seemed almost to be breaking through the call. She described what they were looking for, and I said I could check. Just before we were about to board the lift, I found two locations in my database that perfectly matched their description. I created an album and sent it to the client. We got on the lift, and in no time, the phone rang again. "We like the first location in the album. If it's available, we'll take it." After a quick call to an ecstatic homeowner with the news of a rental at an increased rate, I called back the production manager. As I began to see the mountain peak and with only a few minutes left on the lift, I reassured her, "It's all set. I'll text you the contact details and wish you the best of luck." She was overcome with relief and even asked me to charge a double finder's fee for the job. My ski trip had gotten off to a great start.

The album system in Locamundo is a relatively simple tool, but it works wonders.

You search in your database, find what you're looking for, and move it into an album. Then you send the album link. At Locamundo, we adhere to a core principle of never sending original images. You decide how the album should be accessible: set an optional password, determine its validity, and when the time is up, the album closes automatically.

The key features of the album, in my opinion, are:

Quick album creation.
Full control over which images are visible in your album.
The ability to have multiple sequences within a single album.
The capacity to add comments for each location and even individual images.
Include colleague's locations in the album.
Clients can comment and rate the locations in the album.
Both you and the clients can edit and create PDF files for external presentations.
The ability to present Google Maps data and contact information directly in the album when needed.

One special feature worth mentioning is the ability to export the entire album with its structure to your own Dropbox and Drive – a handy function when working with creatives who find it challenging to adopt a new system.
