I like photo booths. Th
Photo or Video? Or both!?
ey come in all different varieties – from the old-school button and print, to the networked social media sharing types. One of my favorite vendors in town is Say Cheese For Fun – they’re great at what they do, and have a great wealth of experience. It’s a familiar paradigm for party goers – they see a photo booth and they know what to do. Line up and get in, dress up and make some fun photos to remember the event by. The guest gets a copy. The host gets a copy. Everyone’s happy.
I like video booths too, which is lucky. The paradigm is similar – you line up, get in, dress up and leave a message. The message is broadcast at the event so that everyone gets to see it (and yes, we have mechanisms in place to filter the crazy guest messages!). The host gets a copy and the guest leaves and gets to share the video on line if they choose to. Everyone’s happy.
Which is right for your event? It really depends on the crowd – your guests. If they like to sign and perform, to laugh and do little party tricks, then the video format might work better for them. If they are all 107 years old and can remember the time when black and white photos were a new fad, then heck, photos might be best. It’s horses for courses as they say.
If you’re not sure, you can get the booth that does both – photo booth and video booth. Get in touch with Austin Video Booth to find out how.
I was at a party the other day and the green screen photo booth was really popular. I was waiting a few days to see the results and was impressed – really vivid colors.
