PicFlips – the mobile flipbook studio

PicFlips was honored to be a part of the amazing production put on by Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX…Flavour Conference 2010! We really love doing church events. We knew it was going to be a good night when we first drove in the parking lot. Usually, when we drive through a parking lot, the attendants simply wave us in the right direction. Not at Fellowship Church. The guys were smiling and waving to us as we drove in – a welcome change from the ordinary. (Hey, it’s the little things that impress me.)

The theme of the evening was The Wizard of Oz.  Even the golf carts were festive!  The black-and-white large foyer was transformed as the women sat inside the conference into a beautiful, colorful masterpiece.  We had 2 stations with an extra production station on each so we were really cranking out the flipbooks!  Adding the extra production station to each studio was a great idea because we were able to make flip books right away for each person in the video. 

It was a wonderful event and we want to thank Fellowship Church for having us.  Not a Wicked Witch in sight…we were surrounded by beautiful women with a lot of heart, wisdom and courage!

The PicFlips mobile flipbook studio is a fun way to entertain your guests at an event with a quick, custom-made party favor.  We average 45-50 flipbooks per hour, which is great for most weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, sorority parties and milestone birthdays.  But what do you do if you have a large crowd and need more books per hour?

Before we offer our solutions, think about the overall goal of your party and what you want to accomplish:

1.)  What is the size of your venue?  Do you want your guests to mix, mingle and move around the large area, or do you have a limited area to work with?

2.)  What time frame will you have for the flipbooks?  Is there a specific schedule of events (example: cocktail hour, dinner, and an auction for a non-profit fundraiser) or is it a relaxed schedule (example: socialize, eat & drink, mix & mingle at a 25th Anniversary Party)?

3.)  How many guests are you expecting?

4.)  Will this be an event with the majority of guests as families or couples, or do you expect to have a lot of guests from different households? (What an odd question, right?  The reason we ask this is that most of the time, couples just ask for one book, while friends all want their own book to take home.)

Now that you have a clear goal, let’s talk about options:

Option #1: We run 8 mobile flipbook studios here in the Dallas area.  If you need multiple studios for your large party, we can usually accommodate.  Multiply the number of studios by our hourly rate and *viola!* you have your price. (Call or email for pricing – sorry, we don’t list this online.)  Each studio takes up a 10′x10′ area.

Option #2: Our regular “standard” studio produces 45-50 flipbooks per hour on average.  However, we also have “deluxe” studios available, which include an extra staff and additional equipment to produce 90-100 flipbooks per hour.  This option is less expensive that 2 “standard” studios because we have to bring less equipment and hire less staff, so we pass the savings on to you.  It also remains inside the original 10′x10′ area.

If you want to discuss your specific event, I would be happy to talk through ideas and suggestions with you.  Give me a ring at (214) 497-2411 or send me an email at amy@iloveflipbooks.com.

Happy Planning!
