We love all of our high-tech, software driven projects but sometimes there’s nothing more fun then getting a bit crafty and DIY. When we were asked by the Design Centre Chelsea Harbour to provide a photo booth for the launch of their Marilyn: The Legacy of a Legend Exhibition, we knew we wanted to do something special to bring a little bit of Marilyn’s magic to the photo booth experience.

It didn’t take us very long to come up with the perfect nod to the iconic actress. Using a fan we were able to recreate the wind effect from her famous scene in “Seven Year Itch.” Toss on a white dress and blonde wig and you’re transformed into a Marilyn look-a-like— you can hardly tell the difference, right?

The fan was built into a platform that guests stepped onto after activating the photo booth. Four photos were snapped and edited into a GIF because when you’ve got a wind machine going you kind of have to animate it. You have to.

Guests also had the option of printing their images and also sharing the GIF on social media and email.

Seriously, how much fun is this! And all it took was a a fan and a bit of handy work.

The exhibit itself was wonderful and jam packed with Marilyn costumes, personal items, and memorabilia. It was the perfect tribute to a true icon.
