gifboothME Customisation Examples
360boothME Customisation
There are two main ways to customise the videos from the 360boothME booth.
Customised Video Overlays
Choosing different effects.
1. Customised video overlays.
Our 360boothME software can customise your videos with an overlay on top of the video. The overlays need to be .png files and 1080 x 1920 for the most popular portrait style videos.
There are some examples of videos with customisation on this link here
Email your overlay image through to Rupert r@musiq.com.au at least 1 week prior to the event so we can upload it. If you have something simple you’d like us to create send us through a description and we can hopefully put it together for free for you or point you in the right direction for a designer to help out if it’s too much for us.
2. Video Effects.
We can change the length, orientation, colours, effects and splitting/rotating/compiling of the videos using our effects engine. You’re able to upload as many effect/video styles as you like but we find that the best option is to stick to 4-6 different effects packages.
We also find that unless you want to use landscape to get more width of the image in the case you don’t have as much room and the camera is quite close to the subjects that portrait is the most popular aspect ratio for the videos.
We are still constantly playing with effects, but put together the below video with names of our effects/styles to help you out. Should you trust us or not have any specific requests in terms of effects we will put together a package that best suits your party type based on what has been popular prior.
If you’d like us to include any effects from the below video please email through the options that you’d like to Rupert r@musiq.com.au

Album Embossing
Ladies and Gentleman we are now offering embossing on our albums for anyone who wants that extra personalised look.
Our albums are able to be hand embossed in 24 or 36pt (this depends on name length and layout) in Goudy font.
Colour options are
Silver
Gold
Rose Gold
Blind (no ink just indents)
The embossing looks great. For two lines, so for example with a wedding your names on the first and date on the second it’s $100 including GST.

Why you NEED a Photobooth at your Wedding
As an engaged couple I am sure you have been discussing the needs and wants for your Big Day - and how could a Photobooth not have come up. There are many pros to including a Photobooth in your wedding day entertainment and we’re hear to help you outwith the decision.
The number one reason for hiring a Photobooth for your reception would be the entertainment it brings to you all your guests. There is always a queue to get in with loads of smiles and laughter being had by those taking the photo and those watching them being silly - It is always something that gets remembered as one of the highlights. You may think that the only people in there all night would be young girls wanting the perfect picture but I’m afraid to say you are wrong. The Photo Booth is a hit with all ages and even the boys like to get in on the action. You will find the grandparents in the booth with the youngest kiddies at your wedding getting in on the action - providing you with some great shots at the end of the night.
There is a special nostalgia about an instant Photo that you can take home and stick on your fridge or in a frame. It breaks away from you just having everyone taking selfies at your wedding, they can have a lot more fun (especially with the props). It is something your guests can take home with them to remember the night which gives you another good reason - they make fabulous favours. The great thing about Photobooths is that the photos are instant and that means not only do your guests get a copy but you get a share of the love. At the end of the night you get a digital high res copy of all the photos to upload to Facebook for all your guests to comment, like and share. They are a great distraction until your professional photos are ready.
The final and maybe deciding factor in why to have a Photo Booth at your wedding is the premium guest book. Your attendant is not only looking after your guests but is also ensuring everyone sticks in a picture and writes you a message. It gives the traditional guest book a twist but is also easy to just flick through when you want a good laugh and smile.
Instagram Printing Sizing and Options
Hi Folks,
Just a quick blog post to help people who have booked our hashtagME Instagram Printer for their reception customise their print outs.
We typically have two ways that people like to go with their photo print outs. The most popular being the " Straight from your Instagram feed" style with the "Fully Customised" style gaining popularity lately. Here's some examples of both;
If you're after the full instagram feed style then that's pretty simple. You have about 1200w x 200h pixels of space at the bottom to put some customisation like a logo (corporate event) or your names and date (wedding). We can use up to 300 pixels of height but that might bleed into some longer tags, comments on the photos or we can delete/limit them to just 2 lines. If you've got artwork for this please send it through to info@musiq.com.au. If you'd like us to create something simple for you choose a font(s) from here and send us a clear description of what you'd like and we will mock it up for your approval.
To go custom you'll need to choose what elements you want on the print out. The photo below show's what is available.
Anatomy of a hashtagME print out.
For the designers out there the total printed area is 1200w x 1800h pixels with the designated photo area being 1115 x 1115 pixels (but you can make it a square of any size and place it anywhere you like). Then the rest of the print out section is yours to customise accordingly. You can even have part of the artwork overlay the photo itself if you like. Send us a .png file with the cutout for the photo transparent and we will just upload it. Let us know if you'd like the profile photo, profile name, date and users comments added somewhere and we can do that for you.
We look forward to your print outs looking great. Don't forget to read how to maximise the potential of your hire
Happy Boothing (or Instagramming in this case),

How to get the most out of the Instagram Kiosk with HashtagME!
Do you want to instantly see your friends photos from your wedding or event all in one place? What better way than to encourage your friends to put their phones to good use and upload those fabulous shots from your ceremony as well as throughout the night at the reception to Instagram.
The first step is to choose your #Hashtag! You should pick something creative and specific to you as a couple. p.s. It is best to check it hasn't been used before. This means all the photos will be in one place for you, family and friends to view.
Now you need to spread the word to your wedding guests as well as those that couldn't make it. Depending on how prepared you are - you can include the hashtag with your invitations so your guests can Instagram their pre wedding excitement! When hiring HashtagMe you get a great light up sign included to ensure everyone at your reception knows what they need to include when posting!
We know a lot of people have private profiles to avoid those sneaky stalkers! No fear they won't miss out on using the Instagram Kiosk and getting a great print out of their photo! The trick is to switch to a public profile until the photo appears and the switch back and no one will miss out on seeing the beauty!
The same as those older generations attending your wedding that haven't entered into the world of social media! We include an attendant with an Instagram enabled camera or phone to snap your guests on our account to make sure no one misses out!
We also suggest that clients create an account that's similar to their hashtag and give us the keys to the account so that any photos that come from our attendant taking them will look like they came from the event. For the example in the photo above our client, Affinity Diamonds, created the account @affinitydiamondslaunch for us to post from. You might end up with instagram hashtag inception like this
Now the great thing is no only can you browse your Hashtag during and after your wedding but with our HashtagMe Kiosk you can add a premium guest book to your package. This means you can have copies of all the photos from your guests along side beautiful messages from them. Both the online and book copies provide you with a different aspects of your wedding.
We can't wait to see your snaps!
If you've managed to read all of this without booking our hashtagME Instagram kiosk then we have some more interesting reading for you here;
flipbookME Cover Designs
It's about time we did a blog post to help everyone who has booked flipbookME create an awesome design for their flip book covers.
DESIGN YOUR OWN
Our flipbookME covers are fully customisable front, back and spine. The sizes of the front and back covers are 88mm x 50mm with the spine being 16mm by 50mm. Artwork needs to be all in one piece as the diagram below shows. It is recommended that you keep all significant images/characters at least 3mm from the edge of the books and 2mm from the spine/cover fold line. If your cover has a patterned background we also recommend using a 3mm exterior bleed for the artwork. if your background is a solid colour you needen't worry about the bleed.
flipbookME Artwork Guide
Finally because the covers are printed on site and cut by hand we don't recommend adding any borders that adhere to the exterior of the covers or spine on the book as cut and fold locations might vary slightly.
Please send through any artwork at least a week prior to your event so we can test print and cut it and make sure it looks great on the day.
USE ONE OF OUR TEMPLATES - WEDDINGS ONLY AT THIS STAGE
We have a number of templates for which you can sub your names/text/dates into. Please see below examples. All you need to do is email us the number of the template you have chosen and the details of the text/date changes you need made.
ASK US TO DESIGN A COVER USING YOUR IDEAS OR ELEMENTS
If you have an idea or you have a logo, image, font etc that you would like used in your cover email us to describe what you are after and we will let you know what we can do.
