Reelic Guide
A Retirement Gift That Honours a Whole Career
Thirty years. Forty years. A whole working life compressed into a card and a round of applause. They deserve more than that. They deserve a film.
Why retirement deserves a film
Retirement isn’t just the end of a career. It’s the moment someone’s life shifts entirely. A Reelic film captures what they built, who they were at work, and the life that made it all possible. It’s the kind of gift that makes a retirement party go quiet — in the best way.
How to make it
Gather photos from across their career and life — the early days, the milestones, the team photos, the family moments. Upload 8–25 photos and answer interview questions about the person. Reelic builds a cinematic film with narration, music, and animation. Ready within the hour.
From the team or from the family
Retirement films work both ways. A team can gather workplace photos and make a professional tribute. A family can gather personal photos and make something more intimate. Some people make both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a team make a Reelic retirement film together?
One person uploads the photos and answers the interview questions, but the photos can come from anyone. Create a shared album, gather contributions from colleagues, then choose the best 8–25.
How do I get photos from someone’s career?
Ask colleagues and family to contribute. Check old company newsletters, LinkedIn profiles, and team chat archives. Even a few good photos from different decades create a powerful film.
