BEST PARTY FAVOR EVER! Having Action Flipbooks at an event guarantees that NO ONE will be bored. Matthew and his crew are so much fun, and are amazing to work with - they're such pros! They are lightning fast with turnaround too. At the event, they will bust out flipbooks in a matter or minutes, and they put together a video montage of everyone's scenes and upload it onto Facebook with a quickness! They provide fun props to use, and are great about directing your 7-second scene as well. Their green screen is awesome if you want to step it up a notch and include an animated background in your video. Photobooths are always a nice touch to any event, but photos can be so static. Flipbooks provide hours of entertainment. Be unique and get these guys to your next party or wedding - your guests will LOVE them! read more

YEs yes yes ... yes. YES. Hello Action Flipbooks. You Rock. Whoever came up with this idea, you rock. If I could buy you a drink ... okay let's not go there. I honestly have not had this much fun doing something in a long time. As you already guessed, yes this was at the Yelp SV event and what an event it was! Regardless, my gf and I did not know what to do, the staff helped us with an idea and it turned out great. They have props and signs there for you so you don't need too much creativity to make up something fun and entertaining. I saw so many awesome flipbooks! Also, this is SUCH a great party favor idea as someone had mentioned. I wish I had some huge occasion to celebrate soon if only as an excuse to get them out here again. I LOVE Action Flipbooks! (Can you tell there's too much sugar in my day today?) read more

I can always depend on Julie K to help me with reviews I should be writing... and I definitely should be writing one for Action Flipbooks. These guys are awesome and they are able to put up with a 10-15 person train/ their shinanigans. They did multiple takes with our large group to ensure that everyone was able to get face time. Flipbooks.. I remember when I was little I used to make a mini flip book with the corners of my worksheet packets.... these guys take live film and within minutes have a cute little flipbook with you dancing, congo lining, kissing or dropping it like its hawt. Thank you Yelp for introducing me to this awesome group and thank you Action Flipbooks for the awesome favors for numerous YEEs (I got mine at the La Fondue event) read more

Flipbooks are awesome! The first time I experienced Flipbooks was at the Yelp Seven-tease event at La Fondue. It was so much fun - we weren't sure what to do in front of the camera, but they directed us and got some great moves on paper. The people of Flipbooks are super friendly and put up with the Yelpers' shenanigans during their 7 seconds in front of the camera. If you have any questions for them, their customer service goes above and beyond, either through email or phone. When my friends start getting married (yes, you will, trust me!) I'm going to recommend them to use Flipbooks at the wedding reception! read more

This company was at the yelp event: Yelp Seven-Tease at La Fondue in Saratoga, CA. They made all the guests flip books for FREE. You got 7 seconds of action recorded that were turned into a flip book! Both employees were so nice and patient. I couldn't think of an action to do, and neither could my hubby. So, they had me use a boa as a prop and my fiance reeled me up, we kissed and held up a sign that said "TRUE LOVE," and it came out AWESOME. I am so satisfied, I would definitely hire them for a professional job! read more

I can't believe there are so few reviews for Action Flipbooks, considering how many Yelpers have enjoyed their services! Sure, it's kind of a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am experience--over in 7 seconds. But talk about instant gratification! And they make you want to come back for more. I know I came twice--at the Seven-Tease YEE and again at the '80s Old Skool Prom. What? Oh, get your mind out of the gutter! These guys make FLIPBOOKS! You know, those little books that you thumb through so fast that the images almost come to life as an action shot. You strike a pose or two, or do whatever you want with your 7 seconds of fame in front of their video camera, and just minutes later you're handed your own personal Action Flipbook! It may be silly, but it's so much fun! The guys at our events were incredibly friendly and patient. Even when our group of 10 wanted to do a conga line at the Seven-Tease YEE, they accommodated us without fuss and even encouraged our shenanigans. They suggested that we break into two groups but filmed us continuously so we had 5 people in each flipbook. Now we're known as the conga crew--and they let us conga again at the Prom YEE. If you have an event coming up, I highly recommend hiring Action Flipbooks to fulfill your 7-second fantasies. You'll definitely leave satisfied and happy, with a great memento of your time together. (You also have access to an online video of your event. Here is ours http://tinyurl.com/24b867u) read more

oohhh...I just love the flipbook you made for me during the Yelp Halloween Bash last nite. I was the Dancing Machine =) and you captured all my Disco Dance moves coz I am the Disco Diva hehehehe read more

Echoing Nicole and Lorena. No stars, if possible. We gave this company the benefit of the doubt during the pandemic and had planned to reschedule to a future event. However, intentions were clear with the delayed and lack of responses--we were not going to be getting our money back through this company. We ended up filing a dispute through our bank. read more

Amazing idea! Amazing company! Amazing people who make these cool flip books possible! I was able to try it out at the Yelp Seven-Tease event held at La Fondue in Saratoga, CA and I wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE these flipbooks! They are really neat and fun to have! Really brings you back to your childhood when you're doing your little 7-second video and then VOILA.. a nifty flipbook for you to bring home! I'm definitely going to have this at my wedding! :) Thank you guys again for bringing this wonderful idea into a reality! Now everyone can make their special event extra fun and memorable with these cool flipbooks from Action Flipbooks!! read more

The first thing we saw at the Yelp Seven-Tease event was the Flipbook booth. We were dying for a glass of wine and the line was long so we were contemplating skipping out and just getting our drink on. We were SO glad we waited! We watched a bunch of others ahead of us and the guys were very helpful in assisting everyone with props and the timing of their 7 second video. By the time we got up there, we were ready to rock and roll! The books took about 5 minutes to print and bind and we were on our way to our glass of wine. Well worth the wait!! Our books came out awesome! We must have flipped through them a hundred times by the end of the night. Actually, we loved them SO much that my bff took hers on her African safari and I took mine to Aruba and Italy this summer so that we could remember each other. So, your flip books have been around the world!! Thank you so much for everything flipbook! I'm sure it won't be our last run in so I'll have my next 7 second video planned well in advance! read more

It wasn't until I was recommending Action Flipbooks to a friend for her company event just now that I realized I hadn't reviewed them. I can't believe I waited like 2 years to yelp these guys! It MUST have been because I was in such awe of how incredibly awesome the product is and the great staff. We just had the regular background, not the green screen, but tons of props including funny signs, to choose from. Paired with a good sense of humor and a goofy attitude -- your book will be fantastic. In fact, I keep mine at my desk for those moments when I need a solid laugh. 5 seconds after flipping through my book, I'm in good spirits again. SUCH a clever way to relive an event and much cooler than a regular stand still photo booth. I'm not sure the cost - but I do know the end result is worth it. read more

I've hired 7 different photo booth companies in the past 3 years and Action Flipbooks is my favorite. Now a days almost every company can offer the same services but where Action Flipbooks wins is their customer service. If you think about the times when you would rent a photo booth, fantastic customer service is so important. The friendly and welcoming experience they created at my last party was what really set them apart from the competition. The minute I request a quote I felt like I was treated as a family member versus a client. Heather and Matt won me over and did everything they could to make sure every detail was smooth and effortless on my end. The website is pretty bare bones but not a reflection on the support they'll provide for you. I ordered the flipbook service with a green screen which I've used at other parties and already knew it was going to be a hit. What I wasn't expecting was a video complied of each flipbook shot ready to share on social media almost instantly after the party. It was just one of those little details that makes me love them that much more. All of this was just for a small volunteer party but I would absolutely trust them to handle a wedding or graduation celebration. read more

I can't believe I haven't written this earlier. Action flipbooks is top notch. Forget a photobooth... thats so expected and cliche at this point. Shake things up a bit and go for a flip book station! They make a great keepsake for your event and have a fantastic WOW factor. Matt and the his team are easy to deal with and the pricing is actually pretty competitive with a standard photo booth. If you have a special event coming up that you want to make even more memorable, give Matt and the fellas at Action Flipbooks a call. Oh, they did our wedding reception and we couldn't be happier with the way everything turned out. :) read more

They provided a phenomenal job taking care of everyone at the Yelp Seven-Tease event held at La Fondue in Saratoga, CA. The flip books they was awesome and my fiance absolutely loves it. With our flip book the guy came up with the idea. They will pitch you ideas if you weren't sure what to do and retake it if you didn't like it. They also had props and signs if you wanted to use them. They were energetic and kept everyone excited about the flip books with a 2 man crew. You do 7 seconds of whatever you want in front of the camera and after that you flip book will be ready within 5 minutes. Service is amazing and they also do wedding. The parent company of this flip book company is Matthew Weddings. Check them out online: http://www.matthewweddings.com/ read more

Ever since my company had a flipbook station at a Christmas party, I knew I wanted one for my wedding. We chose Action Flipbooks because of the other reviews and the competitive pricing, and I am so glad we did! Heather was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The cover they came up with based on some graphics we gave them and our invitation turned out awesome! And the night of our wedding (11/6), the Flipbook station was busy non-stop, with no problems along the way. At the beginning of the night, I guess some of the kiddos took some props to the dance floor to play with, and apparently Heather and (sorry, can't remember the guy's name) had no problem and let it go in stride! Me and my husband didn't spend much time at the booth, but when we did it was a great experience - fun to work with and patient as we decided on the best background for the green screen :) And I got nothing but great feedback from guests!! Still waiting for the digital video montage of all the Flipbooks, but I expect to be completely satisfied (but will update if otherwise, however unlikely). Edit 11/21: Just got the video montage and link to all the video files on the 19th. So awesome!! They really did deliver!! read more

I had Action Flipbooks as part of the entertainment for my wedding earlier this month and it was a huge hit with everyone! My guests LOVED it! Also, working with Danny & McKenna was great! They answered all questions promptly and professionally and made the planning process that much easier. I would highly recommend them for anyone who would like something other than the standard photobooth at their event. read more

Saw these guys at a Yelp Elite event in Saratoga, CA. My Format: Price, Atmosphere, Selection (of products), Customer service, and Final thoughts. Price. (5 Stars) As it was a free event, yea..... FREE!!! Awesome :-P Atmosphere. (5 Stars) They explained what to do and how to do it but left the creativity to you. If you didn't have an idea of what you wanted to do they offered suggestions and props to help. Selection. (4 Stars) As there was only one product this is kind of mute but one deduction because the flip books aren't quite full color. Kind of a monotone brown and white. Other than that their product is fun and a great way to make a memory last. Customer Service. (5 Stars) Friendly, informative, and helpful if you don't have an idea in mind. Final Thoughts - What a great new spin on such an old concept. I use to make them when I was a kid but with the help of a computer, motion capture camera, and a custom built printer it has revitalized a playful memory from my youth turning it into a great ice breaker for parties and events. P.S. Here is a link to all the flipbooks made at the event. Me and my friend's contribution is at 6:15 in the video. http://video214.com/play/qFWPYmaPuBFpWG3GhfDCNw/s/dark read more

We booked Action Flipbooks for our recent wedding with the intent to have something relatively new and different from the now-typical photo booth service. IT WAS A HIT. The entire experience in working with them went so smoothly that I didn't even need to check in on them at the day of the event. Rather, our guests became our real-time feedback and they had nothing but PRAISE to say. Though other companies are available, Action Flipbooks stood out with the details, ideas, and customer service they offered, ensuring their ongoing status as pioneers in the industry. THANK YOU MATT FOR CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES OF OUR WEDDING! read more

If it were possible to give zero stars, that would be appropriate. This company is frankly dishonest. We had booked and paid a deposit for a family event in August, 2020. Of course, the venue was closed and the event cancelled due to Covid. I called and emailed several times for a refund of our deposit. Matt did not call back or reply to any emails. Needless to say, he still has our deposit. What kind of person would take advantage of people during this terrible time?!? I see that others have also had this experience (see other review from Lorena C.) Do NOT hire these people!! read more

I booked and gave a deposit Action Flipbooks for my nieces event for this upcoming 8/15/20 and due to the venue being cancelled I have attempted numerous times to contact Mathew Strong through email who I have emailed several times and left VM. What a disappointment I will be filing a legal complaint. read more

We had Action Flipbooks as part of our son's 10th birthday party. From reservation to the big day, Matthew was amazing, he created a wonderful cover that our son just raved about. Josh arrived and set up the morning of and had as much fun as the kids did:) He was so patient and walked our guest through the experience and everyone left raving about the experience as well has had a few flipbooks to show their creative side! The biggest kuddos came from our son at bedtime after the day's events. He said "Mom, next year can we have Josh and the Flipbook station at my next year's party?" Doesn't get any better than that. Thank you Action Flipbooks! read more

This review is very long overdue. These guys are AWESOME. People are still talking about our amazing flipbook wedding invitation (form 2014), and our friends still have their flipbook memories from our wedding in their living rooms to share with visitors. What a fun and unique idea!! But I'll tell you what I most remember about Danny and his team - they worked for several hours while kid after kid wanted to do a flip book and they were tireless, patient, and gracious beyond belief. Their service is simply unparalleled start to finish! read more

I was able to check out Action Flipbooks at the SV Yelp Elite event. What an awesome service and idea! They had a table of props and the camera guy was there to help you with your 'action' ideas and cue your video. I loved the props and signs and it was fun watching everyone come up with their little dances and skits that were turned into the crafty little photo books. Within 5 minutes we had our portable little flip book printed and bound with the SV Yelp cover. It was such a novel take away from the party - I can't wait to share it with friends. And with some big events approaching I hope that I can make use of their service soon! read more

I first saw action flipbooks at the yelp elite halloween party and was totally blown away. those little action flipbook these guys make are a definitely must for any memorable event. the 7 second video they capture makes a little booklet full of pictures, what better way to capture a fun moment in a little memorabilia that contain pictures of you and your friends in action!? these flipbooks are the coolest little things ever! and the people from action flipbooks are very friendly as well. read more

What an awesome take on party favors! They take a 7 second clip of you and turn it into a action flipbook. The two guys helping to record and put together the books were very nice. If you don't have any clue on what to do, they definitely help with ideas. I thought this was a fun and unique experience! read more

Byebye photo booth, hello Action Flipbooks! I wish all parties have one of these. You know what would make this even cooler? Having all the photos/video archived on the website so we can purchase additional flipbooks online. read more

this is so clever, action flip book, wow, i highly recommended. as a photographer and filmmaking, I could see the potential of an entertainment gift for your guests. Keep it up. Love their great short video clip capture and share after option. Martin www.cinecrown.com read more

These guys were at the Yelp! East Bay Prom and they really made an impression. Great idea and an awesome customized favor that I got to take home. They were organized and fast. You didn't have to wait long at all for your book to be printed and trimmed and stapled. I will definitely want them for my next big party. read more

Matt and his team at Action Flipbooks are amazing! They are prompt, thoughtful, fun and easy to work! Plus, their flip book station was amazing for my guests who by August, had seen so many photobooths, they were excited for something new. I found Matt really reasonable on pricing, and both him and John were great at getting guests to really get the most out of the flipbooks by practicing a little fun routine. We have no regrets with our flipbooks and would highly recommend Action Flipbooks for their professionalism, fair pricing and great product. Thank you Matt and John for making 8.18.18 so amazing!!! read more

This is an excellent idea and a GREAT party favor for all of your guests. The staff was really fun and they worked with you to create a funny 7 second skit. The book you get is pretty durable too. read more

What a great concept! First time I heard or even seen it was at one of the YELP SV event. At first, no clue what to do since I was expecting just a photo booth not a live action booth. Great part about is the staff gave ideas and props to help you out so you're not standing there lookng all lost, although that could be a good action flipbook. haha read more

We used Action Flipbooks at our wedding and absolutely loved them! They were the major highlight of our wedding, and the video montage they made was adorable. Definitely use them for all your event planning needs. read more

We hired Action Flipbooks for our wedding in Menlo Park, and it was hands down the most surprisingly awesome part of the event. Our friends' Facebook comments after the wedding included, "Btw, best. party favors. ever.", which was responded to with, "I second that!" Also, "brillant, absolutely brilliant," "I loved the flipbook favors!!", and "This was amazing!!!!" Enough said, right? NO! I should also mention that Matt Strong & Co were a pleasure to work with. They brought a bunch of appropriate props and ideas, and took amazing flipbook videos of a large range of people: Shy people, kids, young and older adults, timid beginning-of-the-evening people, not-so-timid post-cocktail-hour people, the bridal party, and family of the bride & groom. Even though it was on the expensive side, it was worth it to the last penny! And don't be fooled by the location . . . Action Flipbooks came to the peninsula for our wedding, and we've also seen them in San Francisco. To sum it all up, I'll just say again, Best. Party Favors. Ever. read more
