Video Booths

Business Idea the 2nd:

I think that all those little photo booths that you sit in and get your picture taken with a friend are fast becoming an anachronism with the proliferation of camera phones. So what if you purchased them cheap, left them in their high-traffic locations, and converted them to video booths. You could select music or sound effects and perhaps even different visual backgrounds (put on digitally). You could even add a character that you speak to.

With one push of the button you could have it downloaded to YouTube, registered at that particular booth. Just for fun, you could go to YouTube and look at people who had been in your booth--your neighbors, in a way.

You could receive a copy burned onto a CD or capture one on a USB stick or flash card that you brought with you. Or you could even have it emailed to you, or to a friend.

I'm a little concerned that phones that capture video may do some of the same things, but I think the special effects, higher quality, easy capture and direct to YouTube would make it worthwhile.
