What the interior reveal does
The camera moves through a doorway and opens the room up. Unveil a hero room, doorway to open space.

Reveals inward. Glide into an open view. Inside the app, every move also has a 3D preview of the rig and the exact photo map it asks for.
Best rooms for an interior reveal
- Open-plan living and kitchen spaces
- A great room seen through a doorway
- A bathroom or closet reached through an arch
- Any room with a 'wow' moment behind a door
The 3 photos to take
Take them in one visit, in the same light. The first photo is where the clip opens and the last is where it lands, so shoot them in the order the camera should travel.
- 1
From the doorway
Stand back in the doorway and photograph the room as it first appears.
- 2
Through the opening
Standing in the opening itself, photograph the room beyond it.
- 3
Inside the room
Step well in and photograph what the camera arrives at.
Tips for a better interior reveal
- Stand far enough back that the door frame shows in the opening photo.
- Take the middle photo standing in the opening itself.
- Finish on the widest, best-lit view of the room.
Mistakes to avoid
- An opening frame that doesn't show the doorway, so there is nothing to reveal.
- Lights on in one photo and off in another.
- A door half closed in one frame and open in the next.

Questions
How many photos does an interior reveal need?
3 photos of the same room: first from the doorway, then through the opening, last inside the room. Take them in one visit in the same light — the interior reveal opens on the first and lands on the last.
What is the difference between an interior reveal and a dolly?
Both push forward. A dolly moves along a room; an interior reveal starts outside it, in a doorway or arch, and passes through the opening. Use the reveal when the doorway is part of the story.
Is the interior reveal included on every Villenza plan?
Yes — the interior reveal, like every reveal move, is on every plan at the same 720p HD output; plans differ only in listings per month.
