About the Reel Neighbourhood animation

Sell the area when the area is the argument: the school run, the ferry, the walk to the water. The alternating cut keeps six photographs moving without any one of them having to be exceptional, which suits streetscapes and views better than interiors. Keep the detail line to one concrete fact with a number in it; 'eight minutes to the ferry' outperforms any sentence containing the word vibrant.

Where it fits

  • When the area is the argument: the school run, the ferry, the walk to the water.
  • As a Story before a listing, selling the street first.
  • In a relocation guide series, one per neighbourhood.

Filling it in

Keep the detail line to one concrete fact with a number in it. Eight minutes to the ferry outperforms any sentence containing the word vibrant. Six photos in two rows of three, streetscapes and views rather than interiors, and the place name held between the windows.

Format and timing

Reel Neighbourhood is built at 1080 × 1920, a 9:16 portrait frame, the shape Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories fill from edge to edge, and runs 15 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 0.7 seconds, holds for 13.4 and clears in 0.9, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.

Questions about Reel Neighbourhood

Why do the two windows cut on alternating half-beats?

So six photographs keep moving without any one of them having to be exceptional. Streetscapes rarely carry a frame alone; two windows trading cuts keep the eye busy.

Can I use it for a town rather than a neighbourhood?

Yes. Put the town in the place name and a fact about it in the detail line. The structure sells any area whose case is what is around it.
