A photo booth for your New Year’s Eve party
New Year’s Eve is the night everyone dresses up and nobody holds still. A booth with a photographer in it catches them before midnight.
Guests scan a QR code and the photos are on their phone before they have found their coat. No app, no account.
How it works
- Set up a screen you own. Open Red Carpet in a browser on an iPad, laptop or phone you already have. Prop it up where guests will gather.
- Higgins directs each guest. He greets every guest out loud and tells them where to look and how to stand, so nobody has to guess. No two guests hear the same shoot.
- Guests scan a QR code. After each sitting a code appears on screen. Guests point their phone at it and their photos open in the browser. No app, no account.
Ideas for your new year’s eve
- Shoot early. Photos at nine look better than photos at half past twelve. Open the booth when guests arrive and announce a last call before midnight.
- Cover the whole night. A paid event’s booth is open for 48 hours from midnight on the event date, so a party that runs past midnight is still covered.
- Even light beats a dim room. Place the screen where the light is even. Higgins will say so if the room is dark.
Questions
How much does a photo booth for new year’s eve cost?
$19 per event while the launch price lasts, until Dec 31. After that it is $99 per event. You can try it free first: 15 guest sessions, with a small Red Carpet mark on every photo.
What device do I need?
A tablet, laptop or phone you already own. Red Carpet runs in a browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to rent. It needs an internet connection while it runs.
Do my guests need an app or an account?
No. After each sitting a QR code appears on screen. Guests point their phone camera at it and their photos open in the browser. A guest who wants to keep them can choose to make an account, but nobody has to.
Can I remove a photo?
Yes. The host can hide any photo or delete it. Deleting removes the file and its record, not just the link to it.
How long are the photos kept?
A full event’s photos are kept 90 days after the event, and you can keep them a year (365 days) as an add-on. A free trial’s photos are kept 14 days.
