About this episode

Ever wondered if that viral "scribble booth" trend is actually worth the investment, or if it's just another shiny object eating up your equipment budget? I put the Scribble Booth by BoothActive to the test so you don't have to guess. You've probably seen these popping up everywhere lately, ever since a videographer put a piece of plexiglass in front of a celebrity red carpet and had people sign their names on camera. It went viral, and now every booth company under the sun has their own version. I wanted to know if the portable, brandable version from BoothActive (aka the Neon Booth) actually holds up in a real event, so I got my hands on one, ran it through an actual live event, and I'm giving you the full unfiltered breakdown. I unboxed it, assembled it myself, ran into a few hiccups, worked out the kinks, and took it out into the field at a high-traffic, low-light event to really put it through the wringer. What You'll Learn: What's actually included when you order the full Scribble Booth kit (and what you'll need to buy separately) The real assembly experience, including one thing you need to check in your inbox before you even start Why the backdrop isn't optional if you actually want this thing to look good The lighting setup that took some trial and error to get right (and why your camera matters more than you think) Whether one attendant is enough, or if you need two to run it smoothly The honest pros and cons after running it at a real event Whether this is the right addition to your booth lineup, or if a solid-shell version makes more sense for you Mentioned Resources: BoothActive: Scribble Booth / Neon Booth (all-in-one kit, $3,500 USD) Replacement outer fabric cover: $647 (order directly from the manufacturer) Camera used: Canon R100 Video booth software: Snappic Your Next Steps: Work with Me: https://bit.ly/POD-Site2 Join Thrive: https://photoboothmastery.catalinabloch.com/Thrive Connect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/photoboothmastery
