Homemade Photobooth using Photobooth
Saturday, January 27th, 2007 | Apple, Computers, Hardware, Life, Macbook Pro, Photography
I made a photobooth last night for our party using my Macbook Pro, the built in iSight, a USB mouse, lots of duct tape and a sheet.
It was a huge success, resulting in 512 pictures. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed making it.
Here’s how I did it
- I prepared my macbook by creating a managed account that could only open Photobooth
- I set my Macbook Pro atop my closet shelf
- I plugged in a USB mouse
- I used a ton of duct tape to put the mouse on the shelf’s hanger rack, and covered up the optical sensor
- I wrote “Press Here” on the left button
- I positioned the cursor on the “Take Picture” button
- I hung up a sheet around the area with tape
- I placed a lamp inside the enclosed area
- I encouraged everyone to use it
And the Results
Here are a couple of my favorites from the night:
