What the façade glide does
The camera glides along the front of the house from one corner to the other. Curb appeal in motion, corner to corner.

Glides along the front. Slide along the front of the house. Inside the app, every move also has a 3D preview of the rig and the exact photo map it asks for.
Best rooms for a façade glide
- Homes with a wide, handsome front elevation
- Corner lots
- New builds and freshly painted exteriors
- Curb-appeal openers for a reel
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
Left corner
From the street, stand level with the left corner of the house, facing the front — this is the opening frame.
- 2
Front door
Level with the front door, same distance from the house.
- 3
Right corner
Level with the right corner, same distance — where the glide finishes.
Tips for a better façade glide
- Stand across the street and keep the same distance from the house for all three photos.
- Keep the phone square to the front; do not turn toward the door as you pass.
- Shoot when the sun is on the front of the house.
Mistakes to avoid
- Cars in the drive in one photo and not the next.
- Walking closer as you go, so the house grows.
- Shooting into the sun so the house is a silhouette.

Questions
How many photos does a façade glide need?
3 photos of the same room: first left corner, then front door, last right corner. Take them in one visit in the same light — the façade glide opens on the first and lands on the last.
Can I do this from the pavement if the house is set back?
Yes — the further back you are, the smoother the glide looks. Three photos from the same line, at the left corner, the front door and the right corner, are all it needs.
Is the façade glide included on every Villenza plan?
Yes — the façade glide, like every travel move, is on every plan at the same 720p HD output; plans differ only in listings per month.
