Choose a photo booth format around what you want guests to do and take away. A Scribble Booth / Signature Cam suits a personal message recorded on video; a photo booth suits a portrait, while 360 and AI experiences create different kinds of content.
This comparison helps you choose the format. Once you have selected Signature Cam, use our primary planning guide for the creative brief and production checklist.
Scribble Booth: make the guest’s message the content
Guests write or draw on a transparent panel while a camera records. The finished video brings together their expression and the message appearing on the glass. Choose this format when the writing itself supports the campaign: a fan signature, team message, personal pledge or drawing prompt.
Plan the prompt, writing area and reset process. A short signature and a detailed drawing create different operating rhythms, so test the complete flow before setting queue expectations.
Photo booth: create a portrait or physical keepsake
A photo booth centers the experience on a captured image. It can suit individual portraits, group photos and campaigns where the finished photo or an available print is the main takeaway.
Choose the backdrop, framing and output first. If a physical keepsake matters, discuss print format, branding and distribution as part of the brief.
360 booth: feature movement and a camera orbit
A 360 video booth creates a moving-camera video around the guest. It suits an energetic pose, outfit reveal or group celebration where motion is the central creative idea.
The layout needs an appropriate operating area and a clear guest approach. Coordinate the surrounding space, lighting and staffing with the production team.
AI photo booth: place the guest in a designed visual world
An AI photo booth captures a portrait and transforms it into an agreed visual treatment. It can suit campaign worlds, themed portraits and product-launch creative where the transformation is the main reveal.
Approve sample outputs and the intended style before the event. Confirm the delivery flow and explain any relevant image use to guests.
Fixed setup or portable: which Scribble Booth fits your space?
The format now comes in two shapes. The fixed kiosk is the classic experience: a branded glass panel, a dedicated footprint, a steady queue. The portable Scribble Booth is the same writing-and-video moment in a format an attendant carries through the room.
Choose the fixed setup when you have space and want a visual anchor. Choose the portable version for smaller spaces, festivals, red carpets and events that spread across multiple rooms. Many events use both.

Questions that help you choose
- Campaign idea: Is the core moment a message, portrait, movement or transformation?
- Takeaway: Do guests need video, a digital photo, a physical print or a combination?
- Participation: How much direction and creative effort does the format ask of each guest?
- Venue: What space, lighting, access and power are available?
- Measurement: Which completed sessions, deliveries and campaign outcomes will you track?
