Day 172 of our 365 day video challenge.
How long does it take to set up the Phone Box?
We’ve got this down to a science. But depending on the crew on the day, here is exactly what goes on behind the scenes:
The Solo Mission (45 Minutes):
If I’m setting up on my own, it takes just under an hour. Being vertically challenged at 5'6" means the roof panel requires a bit of strategy and a trusty step stool, but I always make it happen
🧑🤝🧑
The Dream Team (25–30 Minutes):
More often than not, I’ll have an extra pair of hands with me. With a team of two, we can get the entire Phone Box built, tested and polished in less than half an hour.
The Golden Rule
As I mentioned in a previous video, setup time is only half the battle. The real secret to success is placement.
To get those hilarious, heartfelt and unforgettable video guestbook messages, the phone box must be placed in a prominent, high-traffic position.
If it’s tucked away in a quiet corner, your guests might miss it, but put it near the action and they won't be able to resist!
