360 photo booth rental

I’m pretty Sure you You’ve Likely Heard Of A 360° Photo Booth Rental Before But, You Might Be Surprised To Find Out That Some Of What You Think You Know, May Not Actually Be True. 

To be Honest, it is not an actual “photo booth”. I say this for 2 reasons
 
1. that it’s mainly used to create videos and not to take photos

2. In looks, it veers pretty far from a traditional “photo booth” like our open photo booth

We can only assume, that the 360 photo booth rental got its name simply for marketing purposes. When examining its physical build, you would understand why I say it’s not an actual photo booth but at magic smiles we’re often introducing new and exciting experiences and know just how hard it is to introduce and market something new. Much like our open-air photo booth with beautifying ring lighting, this new experience was introduced as a standing photo booth and while it creates amazing user-generated photos, it certainly doesn’t resemble its predecessors.   

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A 360° PHOTO BOOTH Rental? 

Let’s take a deep dive and while we’re at it, I’ll share 5 reasons why you need a 360° photo booth for your next event. 

The 360° Photo Booth – is an experience designed to capture 360° high-resolution videos. Event guests step on a platform where a high-end camera attached to a revolving mechanical arm rotates at high speeds 360 degrees around your guests. While rotating, it uses programmatic movements and captures videos of up to 120 frames per second which Magic smiles photobooth cloud-based platform processes instantly using proprietary AI technologies.

Just like magic smiles other photo booths experiences, the 360 Photo Booth can capture multiple people at the same time. Depending on size,  our 360 Degree Booth can fit 3-4 people comfortably and can hold nearly 500lbs of weight. This is pretty good considering the epic content you can create using the 360 photo booth.

THE RISING POPULARITY OF THE 360 

Jumping right into the first reason why I highly recommend having the 360 photo booth: it’s popular! In fact, it’s been our number one requested experience since in-person events have returned!

While the true origin of the 360 videos is debated it was originally popularized by the infamous scene with Neo in the Matrix where time stopped and the video spun around him. To create this effect, dozens of high-end cameras were mounted around a circular subject in the center. The individual frames from each camera were then stitched together, frame by frame to create the end result. They called it, the “360-time freeze” or “Bullet Time”.

As you may have imagined, this setup was not so economical. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how expensive it would be to set up dozens of thousand-dollar cameras and the editing work required to produce the end result. While we have modernized this bullet-time capture to be rendered in real-time, we don’t have many clients who have the budget to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make their dreams a reality. While it’s one of the coolest visuals we can create, it just is not practical for many of our clients. 

Over the next decade, concepts surfaced. Finally, instead of using multiple high-end DSLR cameras, a system was designed to use a rotating mechanical arm with a singular high-definition camera attached to it and as you know, it became an instant hit.

It has been widely used in music videos, premiers, red-carpet galas, and even commercials! As a matter of fact, magic smiles 360° Photo Booth is our most requested photo booth since our comeback to in-person events.
