Photobooths have become a regular fixture at weddings these days and whilst they can be fun they are far from being unique entertainment. Everyone has one at their wedding.

The good news is that there are other options, ones that will wow your guests and become a talking point.

Enter the 360 Video FX Photobooth.

What does it do?

A video camera spins around a guest, takes footage and then various effects are added.

The guest can then send the finished video to themselves via text or email.

How does the 360 Video FX Photobooth work?

It’s quite simple;

  • The guest or guests stand on a platform
  • The operator starts the camera spinning
  • The video camera captures footage for about 10 seconds (once the spinning arm is up to speed)
  • The footage is transferred to the operational computer by wifi
  • Video effects are added
  • Branding is added
  • Guest send the footage to themselves

What are the video effects?

There are 12 effects added out of 185 and each has its own speed, increasing the permutations.

The client has the option to;

  • Have the same effects on each video
  • Have random effects on each video
  • Limit the effects but otherwise, have them random

Most clients will choose a random option to ensure every guest has a different video.

What branding can be added?

The client can ask for design details to be carried over from the wedding colour scheme, or an invitation to be used on the template.

The bride and grooms name will obviously be added, along with any other design details.

How does the guest receive their video?

Once the video has processed (in approximately  30 seconds), it will be available to the guest.

The guest can then send it to themselves either by email, or text message.

How much space does it take up?

The 360 photo booths take up more space than a regular photo booth. You will need approximately 2.5m x 2.5m for the platform and lights and space for the laptop running it.

Why should I consider this Photobooth Alternative?

As it stands there are very few in the UK so you will be offering unique entertainment to guests.

Other than that;

  • Guests love it – it is something that they will not have experienced before
  • Due to the special effects added even ‘dad dancers’ will look good
  • It produces engaging content and will gain significant comments and likes on social media

In summary, don’t follow the herd, be unique at your wedding and provide entertainment that your guests will remember.
