Time Lapse Photo Booths

Time lapse and photo booths can go quite well together.  We do regular time lapses (as shown above, for the 2011 ISES-NCC Gala at the Bently Reserve) as well as regular photo booths of all sorts, so setting up a time lapse photo booth is a fun merge of the two.  We’ve done this quite a lot for private parties as well as corporate so if you haven’t thought of a fun way to recap and share images from an evening, the time lapse is a lot of fun.

Below is a time lapse photo booth from the First Exposures benefit auction event.  We do this each year and it’s a lot of fun and after the event, anyone who wasn’t even at the event can watch the quick time lapse and get a kick out of it.  Add it on to your next photo booth or studio booth experience!

Another fun thing to do is to create animated GIFs from a photo booth.  This mini time lapse works well on web pages where the embedded video looks static (as it does here), but with the animated GIF, it makes a mini time lapse photo booth image that can catch someones attention to make them take notice and hopefully click through to the full clip.  Check out our photobooth website for more details!yellowfur
