Elegant Diwali Photo Reel

I have a folder of photographs from this year’s Diwali celebrations and I want them woven into a short, elegant reel that captures the traditional warmth of the festival. The finished video will be shared with family and friends on Instagram and WhatsApp, so it needs to feel polished yet personal—think subtle temple bells or a classical instrumental bed, graceful transitions, and rich, vibrant colour grading that keeps each diya glow intact.

Here’s what I need from you:

• A vertical reel (1080 × 1920, MP4) running roughly 30–45 seconds
• Smooth, tasteful transitions—no flashy jump cuts—so the story flows naturally
• Simple on-screen text for a greeting such as “Shubh Deepavali” and a closing wish
• Light colour correction and cropping where needed to keep every frame consistent
• A royalty-free background track that enhances the traditional mood (and a mute version for platforms that auto-loop)
• Delivery of the editable project file (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, After Effects, CapCut—whichever you prefer) so I can make last-minute tweaks if required

I’ll provide the photos in high resolution, ordered in the sequence I’d like, along with any specific captions. Once you share a first draft, I’ll give quick feedback; one revision round should do it. If you have sample reels with a similar aesthetic, feel free to include a link so I can be sure we share the same vision.

Looking forward to seeing my Diwali memories come alive on screen!
