Thanks to Steve Bliesner & Photo Booth Guys Australia for letting us share this video of their latest activation for Amazon.
Steve writes
Working in harmony to create high end activations that go out for, not $100-200 an hour.. but $1000 – $ 2000 an hour.
I used every trick in the Breeze book to pull this one off.
Breeze for iPad was running a very custom survey to collect data on guests, to determine what Drag Queen they would be and what personalised text they wanted on their GIF and Print. Additionally, guests entered their email address (so they didn’t have to use a sharing station later).
That data was sent via Breeze Hub, to Breeze Kiosk, where a QR code had been generated, and was then scanned in via a barcode reader, by our staff, in to Breeze Webcam.
Webcam had a customised interface that was live streamed to two large screens… (that masked any sensitive information and removed any interface control elements).
With one scan, that QR code kicked off the session, auto chose the chosen Drag Queen, personalised their print and GIF and emailed the image to the guest.
There is only one company that makes software that allows people like you and me to do stuff like this.
Meet Steve at the Breeze stand (#1113) at Photo Booth Expo next week.
We are counting down the days to Photo Booth Expo, and looking forward to seeing many of you in Vegas. Find us in the Exhibition Hall at booth 1113; book your place at Steve Bliesner’s classes (details below).

Many of you will know that Microsoft are ending support for Windows 7 today.
Breeze will also end support for our software running on Windows 7 on January 14th.
Once Microsoft end Windows 7 support, we cannot test or support our products on this operating system safely. We strongly recommend anyone still running Breeze programs on Windows 7 upgrades to Windows 10 as soon as possible.
I’m still running Breeze on Windows 7, will the program stop working on January 14th?
If you are already running a Breeze program on Windows 7, we don’t expect it to stop working. However we recommend you upgrade your operating system to Windows 10 as soon as possible. Take a copy of both registration name and code, and deactivate the license (where needed) before you start in case of problems.
