Everyone again,
on one roll.

Ten years on, three generations, or one long table. Every phone shoots onto the same roll, every guest leaves a memo, and it develops when the day ends.

Setting up a reunion roll

papershot is a reunion photo sharing app for families and classes: one private roll for the day, a camera on every guest's phone, and a memo from every guest. It develops when the day ends, and everyone downloads the same roll.

  1. 01

    Make the moment

    Name it, set when it starts and ends, and pick a film look. Vintage suits a reunion.

  2. 02

    Pick the size

    Sizes run from 8 guests to unlimited, so a whole year group fits.

  3. 03

    Send the link ahead

    Share it with the invitation, so people arrive with the app. No accounts.

  4. 04

    Develop it together

    Set the reveal for the end of the day, and open it at the same time.

Memos

Memo questions for a reunion

One question for everyone. Their answers are the stories you came for.

  • “Tell us your favourite memory of this group.”
  • “What has changed since we last met?”
  • “Say a few words for the people who could not come.”
  • “What should we do at the next one?”
  • “Describe us in three words.”
  • “Leave a message for the next reunion.”

Every table, every generation

At a reunion the photos split up as fast as the tables do: everyone shoots their own corner and nobody sees the rest. A shared roll puts every corner in one place, so the whole day arrives together, from the oldest guest to the youngest.

The stories, in their own voices

Turn memos on and ask one question. Every guest answers once, up to a minute, and the memos play back with their faces. Download them as files to keep the family's stories.

Questions that work: see audio guest book questions.

What is on the roll

More than photos.

Every moment collects three kinds of media, and the tools to do something with them.
