How we work

Mobile studio

We set up our mobile studio at your event.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is an example of one of our Flipbook Mobile Studios.  We can fit in a smaller space, but we like to have room for the guests to perform their skits and the other guests to gather to watch the fun.  We are flexible and have even set up in a hallway.

Space

Ideally, we need 15’ x 15’ area.  We can be flexible.  This allows room for the guests to perform and others to watch.

 

Power

It is very important to have sufficient power available.

Tables and drapes

The planner or host provides the tables and drapes.  We can bring them, but there is an additional fee.

 

Signs

We bring signs.  We have standard favorites and can easily create a custom signs to tie into the event theme.

We can create custom signs that are themed to match your event.

 

Props

We bring props. We have a large inventory of favorites!

Boas

We bring feather boas.  Everyone loves a boa!

 

Custom boas

By special request we can bring our custom boas.  They are more elegant and do not shed like feather boas.  There is a small surcharge.  They are available in a variety of colors.  Many venue managers prefer our boas over feather boas.

 

Backdrops

While we have used custom backdrops in the past, we recommend a plain background.

Hollywood event planners normally use a plain backdrop with evenly spread logos.  They know people look best against a light background.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High color saturation

Studio areas should not be highly colorized.  For example:  A blue tent, with blue props and blue clothes can cause the entire photo to be tinted blue.

Guests enter the studio

We have the guest step into our mobile flipbook studio.

The entertainment director prepares the guests

The entertainment director will assist them in choosing a skit that is within their comfort zone.

 

Filming the video

The video lasts 7 seconds.

 

Guests can watch themselves

Guests can watch themselves during filming on the monitor.

Entertainment director provides cues

Our entertainment director assists the guests to get the best result.

Other guests can watch

The other guests can watch the performance and offer their own “encouragement and direction”, between peals of laughter.

 

Video replay and approval

Once the video is complete, the guests may view it and decide if they want to print that video or do another take.

Printing

After the guests have approved the video we send it to our printer.

Number of books printed

The number of books printed per video is based on the package you selected.  Everyone wants their own book to take home.

Books are cut

We remove the books from the printer and pass it through our cutter.

Cover applied

We put the cover on the book and bind it right there.

 

The guests gets to see their interactive keepsake for the first time

That is our favorite moment!

 

Entire process

The entire process from start to finish for one book takes less than about 3 minutes per book.

Book management

When we are printing multiple copies of each book, there can be a time lag between video completion and when their individual book is ready.  Many guests want to stand and wait for their book because they are so anxious to receive it.  However, to allow the guests to enjoy the party, we have a book management process so they may go enjoy themselves and come back to pick up their book later in the event.    This also allows us to make sure each person gets the correct book.  Our books are so much fun and so popular if we don’t “control” distribution, other guests will take them home.

Custom covers are included in most packages

We create custom covers themed to match the event, or we can create a cover from client submitted artwork.  There are some limitations due to size.  Simple is better.  Normally we get an idea of the theme and put together a few quick samples of artwork to develop the idea with the client.  At that point the client lets us know what they like.  We refine the design.  Once a final design is selected we print a proof for approval.  We do up to 4 revisions at no additional charge.

IMPORTANT TERMS TO KEEP IN MIND:

 

VIDEOS VS. BOOKS:

The number of videos is the number of actual little movies filmed.  There can be more than one person in a video.  4 people are generally the most you would want in a single video.  The highest number of videos possible in one hour in one set up is about 50.  40 Videos per hour is more common.

The number of books is the number of books printed.  We can print more books in an hour than we can film videos.  Depending on the package you select the number of books printed will be range from 40 to 150 per hour.   This is an important element in your package selection.

The event supplies and staff are determined by the package selected.   We generally cannot upgrade the package when we are onsite due to limited staff.
