I was at a meeting for WIPA (Wedding Industry Professionals Association) last night and discovered the ePod Talking Photo-booth! Photo-booths have been all the rage this past year or so but this one is different as it talks to you. How it works is that the attendant is outside and can view the guests in the booth on his computer. Based on what they are doing, the attendant will activate the sound bite to be played in the booth. Some examples are: "you have some food in your teeth" and "is it possible to be that good looking?" Guests are surprised with the voices and their reactions definitely make for some great candid photos.
Because the attendant is controlling the sound bites depending on what the guests are doing, it's very interactive and is tailored to the crowd. The action/reaction aspect seems similar to that of music via DJ vs. an ipod play list.
Christian Shimer, (pictured above) one one of the partners in the Carlsbad-based company said it was a family collaboration to build the booths themselves to incorporating the sound and photography into it. It was built with the thought that the styling of the booth could fit in any venue from a casual outdoor event to an elegant wedding at the swankiest of resorts.
There is one all-inclusive price of $1,495 which includes 4 hours of unlimited photos with attendant, double photo strips (one for the guest, one for the host's memory book), a DVD with all the photos from the event and a customized music video montage on DVD and also in a web ready format to share. There is potential for customizing the exterior of the ePod for an additional charge. (888) 337-3763 or info@epodevents.com.
