The brief

Bringing together artistry and AI to celebrate young filmmakers.

When the team at Ipswich City Council asked Click Click how we could create an experience no one had ever seen before for the Ipswich Youth Film Festival, we knew our Robot Sketch Photo Booth was the answer.

They wanted guests to be drawn in with curiosity and leave excited to tell their friends and family about it.

What we delivered

When you think about a film festival celebrating young creative talent, what immediately springs to mind?

For us, it was bringing together artistry and the latest in AI technology — live robot artists sketching real-time portraits of every guest.

Our goal was to create a photo booth experience that blended seamlessly into the theme and was far from the average photo booth experience.

We programmed our robot artists to draw detailed portraits of guests’ faces on custom branded sketch cards designed to look like film strips — tying the experience directly into the festival’s film theme.

Guests stepped up, struck a pose, and watched as the robots brought their sketch to life in front of them.

All guests received their sketch on the spot to take home.

The results

Over 1.5 hours, our robot artists completed more than 80 sketches for guests at the festival.

Everyone loved it — guests were filming the robots sketching and showing their friends and family their finished artwork.

We love working with clients to come up with fun and innovative ideas to elevate the experience for their event, but also meet their event goals.

Why a Robot Sketch Photo Booth was the right choice

A robot sketch photo booth was the perfect fit for the Ipswich Youth Film Festival for three reasons.

It delivered something the brief specifically called for — an experience no one had seen before. Live AI-powered robot artists sketching guests in real time is still a genuine novelty for most people, which made it a natural standout at a festival built around celebrating original creative work.

It also struck the right balance between art and technology. The Ipswich Youth Film Festival is all about championing young filmmakers and creative talent, so an experience that paired traditional sketch artistry with cutting-edge AI felt right at home with the spirit of the event.

And it turned the process itself into the experience. Rather than guests simply collecting a photo at the end, they got to watch their sketch come to life stroke by stroke — which is exactly why so many were filming the robots at work and showing the results to friends and family before they’d even left the booth.
