Plus, green screen backdrops work with the portrait booth and the selfie station, so they fit with any event! Looking for inspiration for your upcoming event? Keep reading for our best creative green screen photo booth ideas. 

Floating Heads

This idea is perfect for a murder mystery or Halloween party. We made this green screen setup by using loose green screen cloths that guests put on to create a floating heads illusion. We love the spooky bookcase background, but with a green screen photo booth backdrop, you can use this idea with any backdrop you want! 

You could also use this idea to create a haunted cemetery green screen photo booth. The options are endless!

Party On the Moon

It seems like everyone is going to space these days, so why not join them? Use our green screen photo booth to create the perfect moon landing for your party. We love this idea for a kid's birthday party. You could make it alien-themed with some fun props and costumes!

Here are some alien prop ideas:

  • Glasses shaped like alien eyes

  • Alien masks

  • Alien antenna headbands

  • Laser pointers

Travel to a Distant Land…Without Going Anywhere

Are you dreaming of a post-Covid European vacation? With a green screen photo booth, you can go wherever you want! This idea is great for location-themed events, like a Paris-inspired prom night. 

You could also use this idea for a going-away party! If you have a friend moving far away, set up a green screen photo booth of their new home so that all of their friends can take pictures there.

Mugshot Backdrop

This was a fun green screen backdrop we got to create for the Rough Night movie premiere! When you choose a green screen backdrop, your photo booth can perfectly match your event. Plus, incorporating a green screen is more cost-effective than creating a custom fabric backdrop.

Throw a Red Carpet Party

Do you want to party like the stars? Make your own virtual red carpet with the green screen photo booth! You can go glitzy and make it old-school Hollywood-themed, or make it modern and throw in some paparazzi. 

This idea is fun for an employee or volunteer appreciation event. Make your team members feel like stars by giving them the complete red carpet treatment. Don’t forget to ask them who they’re wearing!

Santa’s Winter Wonderland

We know the holidays just passed, so this is an idea to tuck in your back pocket for when they roll around again. If you’re planning to host a Christmas event that includes photos with Santa Claus, consider using a green screen photo booth instead of constructing a whole set! With a green screen backdrop, you can set up a Winter Wonderland without hauling in tons of fake Christmas trees. 

Not only will you save time and money, but you’ll also give your guests a great photo booth experience. Instead of taking photos on their phones, they’ll have high-quality printed and digital photos as a keepsake from your party.

You could even have a rotation of green screen images that your guests (aka the kids) can choose from. For example, you could have Santa’s toy shop and Santa’s Sleigh. Some clever positioning can make it look like your kids are flying the sleigh with Santa and Rudolph!

Jump Into Your Favorite Cartoon or Superhero Story

Have you ever wanted to swing through New York with Spider-Man or be in an episode of The Simpsons? With a green screen photo booth, you can! With the right backdrop image and a couple of pieces of furniture, you can create some super fun setups. For example, you could have coffee with Marge or watch TV with Homer. 

We love this idea for a themed-up birthday or watch party of your favorite show. Plus, it’s another great option for a child’s birthday party. What kid wouldn’t love to take their picture with Elsa at her ice castle?

Customize the Green Screen Photo Booth for Your Company

Having a corporate party? You can use the green screen photo booth to project your company’s logo. The customization options are endless, and we’re happy to use your designs for the green screen backdrop!

Put On Your Invisibility Cloak

Harry Potter parties are always fun, and you can make it even with a green screen backdrop! Simply choose a Hogwarts-themed image for the green screen backgrounds, and let your guests play with our green screen cloths to make themselves invisible. They can wrap it around themselves to hide everything but their heads and creep through Hogwarts. Throw in some wands and you’ve got the easiest on-theme photo booth ever! 

Let Your Guests Take Their Pick

The best thing about using a green screen photo booth for your event is that your options are virtually endless. You can load up a ton of images that your guests can choose from for their photos.

Not only will the green screen booth provide a fun activity at your event, but it’ll make a big impact on your guests! They’ll always remember how fun it was, and the fact that they got to choose their own backdrops will make you a super cool host in their minds.

Sony Productions' Rough Night Premier | Austin Photo booth

When we got the call from Sony Pictures about taking mug shots for guests at a movie premier, we said a resounding 'heck yes!' without even knowing all the details. We just knew this was going to be such a cool event, and we'd get to use our green screen capabilities for the first time! We'd been practicing for a while, but we're so glad this was our first official green screen event because look at how fun these photos are! Even more exciting was the fact they wanted us to provide their guests in Austin, Houston and Dallas with the same awesome photo booth experience. Across the great state of Texas, guests enjoyed delicious drinks and mingled with new friends before the showing, and of course took lots of fun photo booth photos and shared them on social media. 

A huge thanks to Sony Pictures and Bustle for letting us be such a fun part of everyone's evening!
