Cinematic highlights for every event.

What it does for an event

Most events have a photo booth, a step-and-repeat, maybe a videographer. What they usually don't have is a "this is a moment" activity that guests can take home with them. A face-swap activation is that activity. The guest sends a selfie, the bot returns a 5-10 second cinematic clip, and the guest has a take-home that's significantly more shareable than a step-and-repeat still.

It also doubles as a social signal for the event itself. When 30 guests post their face-swap clips on the same night, the event is everywhere on the platform for 24 hours. That's a paid social campaign's worth of reach, generated by the guests themselves.

What planners use it for

• Bachelorette-night activation — each consenting adult creates a separate result using the same scene, sent to the group chat after each separate render completes. The bride sees herself as a rockstar mid-night; the group chat does the rest.
• Birthday milestone (30 / 40 / 50) — every guest who wants to participate leaves with a personalized cinematic clip. The birthday person gets a montage of the clips stitched into a reel.
• Corporate holiday parties — a team-bonding activity that doesn't feel like a team-bonding activity. Most useful when the team is partially remote and this is the one in-person event of the year.
• Graduation parties — the grad + the family + the friends, each with their own cinematic clip, plus a montage reel for the grad's social.
• Wedding after-parties — the day-after recap, with a different energy than the wedding-day formality. Great for the younger guests especially.

Real outputs from the bot

These are finished renders — no editing after.

How to run it at an event

1. Pick a corner of the venue for the activation — a backdrop helps (a step-and-repeat works great, or just a wall with good lighting).
2. Set up a tablet or laptop open to the bot, with a coordinator walking guests through the initial render.
3. Each guest sends their own selfie from their phone, picks a scene, gets the clip after processing; timing varies with current capacity.
4. Collect the clips at the end of the night, stitch a recap reel, post the next day as the event recap.

Tips for a smooth event run

• Pre-event email — send a "we'll be running a fun face-swap activity — opt in by replying" the week before. On-the-spot opt-in is half as effective.
• Match selfie lighting — have a small "selfie corner" with consistent lighting. Different lighting per guest = different results from the same scene.
• One coordinator, not a kiosk — guests flow much better when someone walks them through the initial render. After the first, they do it themselves.
• Build the recap on-site — collect clips during the event, edit the reel on a laptop, play it at the after-party or the next morning. The "we just did this" feeling is the whole point.

Pricing your event activation

Standin's website can create a private, visibly watermarked Action Hero preview when intake is enabled. A clean-result unlock is offered only when the website Stripe offer is configured, and its current amount is shown before purchase. Telegram is a separate native flow without external payment buttons.

The face-swap activation is a high-margin, low-effort add-on. It doesn't replace any existing service in your package; it layers on top of whatever you're already delivering.

Common questions

How does face-swap work as an event activity?

Most planners set up a small activation at the event: a tablet or laptop open to the bot, with a coordinator walking guests through the initial render. The activation becomes a natural conversation piece.

What types of events work best?

Birthdays (any age, especially milestone 30/40/50), bachelorette nights, corporate holiday parties and team off-sites, wedding after-parties, graduation parties. Anything where you have a captive group and a few hours of photo-op time.

Can I do it on-site without an internet dependency?

A reliable connection is required. If connectivity is unavailable, wait; coordinators must not collect guest selfies or operate a shared session on guests' behalf.
