The Turtle Booth » Slow-Motion Video Booth

How will The Turtle Booth work at my event?
Our team will arrive at your event at least 1 hour prior to operation time for unloading and setup (early setup is available). Once setup is complete, your guests will have access to an assortment of props. One of our attendants will assist them through the selection process and how the booth works. Your guests will enter the booth either individually or in small groups and show us their best dance moves for about 8 seconds. Then they will be able to step outside of the booth and preview their moves in super slow-motion! After the event, our team will pack up and clean up all the mess (because there will be a mess!)

How does the “on-site editor” work?
In short, very quickly :)! The on-site editor is an awesome add-on that guests absolutely love! After each group goes through the slow-motion booth, the editor takes the footage and produces a 12-15 second clip and uploads it to Instagram with a custom hashtag specific to your event. Shortly after going through the booth and getting all crazy, the guests are able to see their acts on their phone to watch and share! Having the on-site editor does require a couple additional items such as a place to set up and edit, reliable internet or wifi signal, and fast hands! You can see a bunch of examples on our live Instagram account @theturtleboothlive.

What would “non-operation time” be needed for?
Typically, non-operation time is added to allow the team to arrive and set up the booth early to avoid guests or patrons to actually see the booth being set up. It is also ideal to add non-operation time if you would like to have the booth running during two separate times of the day. For example: running the booth during cocktail hour, taking a break for the main events and dinner of the reception, and then back up and running until the end of the night.

How much room does the booth need?
Due to the nature of an “open-air” style booth, adequate space will be needed for the booth to be set up properly. At minimum, the booth will require a flat space that is 13 feet wide by 12 feet deep with an electrical outlet within 20 feet. A table for the props and preview screen will need to be positioned outside of this area. Please note that some venues in the area simply may not be able to accommodate a large enough space for the booth as the booth is restricted to indoor or sheltered setup only.

Is there anything we need to provide for the booth?
Yes. We do request for you or your venue to provide two (2) 6 or 8 foot tables with linens which will be used to display props, the preview screen, and a provide a place for guests to sit down their drinks. Although we provide a floor covering and do an incredible cleanup job, we recommend for you to check with your venue to make sure they have no issues with the booth. We will be happy to help you with this task.

How does the booking process work?
Once you are ready to book our services, simply request a contract from us and return signed along with the first payment of $500. The remaining balance will be split in half with 50% due 90 days prior to the event and the remaining 50% due 14 days prior to the event.

How long before we see our video?
You will receive both the USB flash drive and/or the link to the creatively edited video 2 weeks after your event.
