Candles hero Reveal video

The Hero Reveal type turns a jar candle into a cinematic reveal with a traveling light — shadows open and a band of light sweeps across the product as the camera eases in. For candles that means a flame flickering while the camera drifts past, in a clip five to eight seconds long, with the label, jar color and lid held in every frame.

Every candle in the range can go through the same Hero Reveal settings, so the Shopify collection page and the PDP galleries look like one shoot. Swap Hero Reveal for another type with one click to split-test candles, diffusers and wax melts.

Clip

Rendered in the Studio from one product photo.

What this is for

  • Consistent Hero Reveal settings across every candle SKU so the gallery reads as one shoot
  • A flame flickering while the camera drifts past — the kind of motion a hero Reveal adds to candles, diffusers and wax melts
  • Candles, diffusers and wax melts filmed as a cinematic reveal with a traveling light without shipping a sample to a studio
  • Motion — shadows open and a band of light sweeps across the product as the camera eases in — that keeps the label, jar color and lid readable
