Props!- Every great photo booth has props! I may try to add a curtain for a more traditional style photo booth at some point, but it works out just fine how it is.
STRIP SIZE SPARKBOOTH SOFTWARE
External monitor- I use a second piece of software (FastStone Image Viewer) on the 2nd monitor as both a photobooth sign ( to encourage guests to use the photobooth) as well as to display the photos that are taken during the event. (Although I will one day want to upgrade) I actually use two CFL bulbs. Since the software I use does not support DSLR cameras, it does not support flash. Soft Box- I actually cheated with this one. My home printer- I normally use this because it is easier to add paper when I see it is running low with no down time- and ink will last for hours of constant use with minimum down time if I need to swap out an ink cartridge. Here are some pics of my setup for a teen Christmas party so you can get an idea of my setup A few things have been added that don't fit inside the case, but make for a much better experience (for me and the guests!) 1. The left side of the case (where the paper tray is) is a cover over the wires and power bricks. I used the foam to my advantage to protect the printer and paper tray as well as to hide other imperfections. The case I bought came with the eggshell and the pick out foam, as shown.
I also use another (bigger) photo printer if necessary. The printer does need to be taken out of the case when in use, as there is a paper tray that attaches to the printer. Maybe not exactly the ideal printer for major events, but it was a fun little addition so I could officially have a complete all-in-one photo-booth. Also bought a canon selphy photo printer, which fits nicely inside the case. The only way I could mount it so it could tilt was to have to have it stick out a bit, but that problem is solved, because I am able to turn the camera around and fold it on itself so the lens does not get scuffed up in transit or storage.
I also needed to be able to tilt it up and down (so the photo-booth can be used standing up or sitting down, and to accommodate for little kids and adults). I bought this because it is a decent webcam for the price, I did not feel I needed to spend to much. From there I was able to figure out how much space the wires and power bricks would take up.įinally bought a webcam. I put everything (except the camera) in the case, along with all the necessary wiring to see what all was involved. I wanted to use the suitcase portion for printer storage, so I had to figure out a way to manage the wiring I did not want to cut. The only downside is the Sparkbooth software is unable to support a flash. I do have a soft box to use externally, (modified to use two 5000K CFL bulbs) which is better for lighting. I also did not want to shorten the wires for the Ikea lights, because they give out the harshest light possible and I will figure out a way to better soften the light at a later time, so those may come out. Of course I do not want to shorten the power cable for my tablet, as I want to use my tablet outside of the photo-booth. In one of the pictures, you can see my tablet, some Ikea led lights and the speaker amp/control. I had to figure out how to accommodate for all of the power bricks and other wires I did not want to cut and customize. Every time I added more electronics to the photo-booth, all of these wires would suddenly appear.
