Do I need to black out my garage door windows?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

Does your space need to have the doors or windows blacked out? It’s a great question.

Let me tell you one thing. If you haven’t heard, I visit–personally visit–at zero obligation. In six years I’ve never asked for a check. There is no pressure to get a check. My goal is to make sure you fully understand what you’re getting into; if it fits in your space; do you have the process, or how we can set up a process to make it easy.

But to answer your question about blacking out doors and windows:

When I evaluate your space, I look for that exact thing. Many times, because of the year and the sun angles, I actually wouldn’t do anything until I get there and/or after the studio has been installed. The worst-case scenario that could happen is that I would have a skylight directly above my studio. If that’s the case, I probably would cover that or spray paint it.

To answer your question “Do I need to black out my garage door windows or windows in the building?" I’ll make that determination for you and give you a little heads-up when I visit, and/or, because of the year and the sun, I would wait before I do anything so you don’t spend money needlessly.
 

 

Why isn't 360Booth® motorized?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

360Booth® is not motorized. The purpose for not motorizing it is to give you value. How do we build value? It is by making a product that stands tall and operates 24/7 for as long as possible.

Turntables start at 13,000. You install them. Truck turntables are 18,000. Those are both above-ground, and the Cadillac–the 20,000-pound, 18-foot, in-the-ground–is in excess of 45,000. You put it in the ground.

360Booth® is not motorized. We are proud of that. You simply just push it in the direction you need your light, and it is that simple. They’re not failing, and that’s why 360Booth® is leading the pack.
 

 

Do my shop/ building lights have to be removed near or in the studio space?

by | Oct 21, 2022 | FAQs

The questions you have today are “why can’t I have lights above my studio? Why do I have to block my skylight?”

It’s simple. It’s a theory, but I’m not a huge fan of having softbox or lights on top of my vehicle when I shoot the photos. That’s why we have a white cloth. The other reason is that we direct the light at the vehicle so it has a very vivid and sharp, exact representation of the color. If you start leaving your lights on above the studio, it’s going to add a shade of yellow to your room, and people are going to say, “Hey boss! Why are the photos looking a little yellowish?” Your photographer is going to struggle to get rid of that hue of color because the light temperature is not white light, like ours.

The other issue is, when I evaluated it, hopefully I didn’t miss that you had a skylight, and I asked you to cover it. We don’t want anything penetrating through the top, so that is why we’ve asked you to turn off or move your lights directly above the studio or cover your skylight.
