3. Does PicFlips travel to events outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth area? Yes, we do! Travel expenses to locations outside of the DFW area will be billed at actual. We also recommend looking under our Locations page for a licensee near you to minimize travel costs.
4. What do you need in order to set up at an event? We prefer a 10 foot x 10 foot area, but can be slightly flexible depending on the layout of the venue. We also need one standard wall outlet. It is best if the venue can provide us with two 6 foot tables (skirted to match the rest of the party), but we have tables if needed. If your event is outdoors, please contact us to discuss protecting the display from weather elements.
5. Do you do outdoor events? Yes we do, however, we need protection from wind and rain. Computers and printers have difficulty operating in temperatures over 95 degrees, so please keep that in mind. Please let us know if you would like us to be outdoors when you ask for the quote so we can work out the details of the logistics.
6. Can I send you a video clip and have you send it back to me in a flipbook? Yes, contact your local licensee for a quote. Please edit the video to be between 7-12 seconds in length. It is preferred if the video is in .avi or .wmv format.
7. We are interested in using PicFlips flipbooks as a Save the Date card - can we do this? Yes, it's a very creative and unique idea! Pre-made PicFlips flipbooks also make great Thank You cards or could be placed around the tables if your budget is tight. Added bonus: custom covers are free in orders over 50 flipbooks!
8. Is there a PicFlips retail location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? Yes, please check out Ripley's Believe It Or Not in Grand Prairie, where you can make and purchase a PicFlips flipbook. Ripley's is a lot of fun for the whole family and a great place to bring out-of-town guests.
9. How many people can I fit in a flipbook? Let's just say, as many people as you can fit into our display in under 7 seconds!
10. If we're at an event and we have 4 people in a flipbook, can we all get a copy? Yes and no. Let me explain how we operate to make it fair for all of your guests. Since it takes us a minute-and-a-half to make each flipbook, if we make 4 flipbooks of the same group of people, the next person has to wait 6 minutes before we can even begin working on his or her flipbook. The result is a long line of people waiting around for their flipbook and not enjoying your party! So, here is our solution, which has worked out very nicely! We make one flipbook for the group and tell them that if they would like a copy of that flipbook to bring it back to us when we aren't as busy. We can pull up that saved file and make copies as time permits. This is great for our client because we keep the line moving and are still making flipbooks even when we aren't crowded! Of course, if no one else is in line at the moment, we'll make copies right away.
11. How many flipbooks can you make in an hour at a party? We average 45-50 flipbooks per hour. This number all depends on the cooperation of the guests and the number of retakes and copies they want us to do.
