How it works

Three steps. Nothing to do on the day.

Print your QR signs
Tell us when the big moments happen and we'll make a welcome sign and table cards. Set them out and you're done.
Guests film on their phones
They scan, tap record or snap a photo, and get back to the fun. No app, no account. Everything uploads quietly in the background, even on patchy Wi-Fi.
Watch your films that night
Sparkler picks the best moments and cuts up to 3 films to music, each in its own mood. They land on your phone before the end of the night.

One night, 3 films

3 films from one birthday party.

The same footage tells more than one story. Pick up to 3 moods and Sparkler cuts a separate film for each, with its own pace, look and music, all included for $149. For a birthday party we suggest Heartfelt, Funny and Party, and you can swap any of them.

The heartfelt film

Heartfelt

Warm, slow and full of love.

The toasts, the hugs and the people who showed up for them. Lingering shots and a warm glow.

Tender piano and strings, 60 to 92 bpm

The funny film

Funny

The laughs and the bloopers.

Toasts that got a laugh, candid reactions and the unplanned moments. Snappy cuts, bright and playful.

Bouncy and playful, 96 to 132 bpm

The party film

Party

Fast, bright, beat-driven.

The entrance, the dance floor and every cheer. Quick cuts on the beat and a few speed ramps.

Dance-floor energy, 115 to 135 bpm

The moments that matter

We know what to look for.

Add your run of show and Sparkler nudges guests to film each moment as it happens, with a tip on how to get the shot. These are the ones most birthdays include.

Arrivals
“Catch the hugs and hellos as people walk in.”
Dinner
“A few short clips around the tables are perfect.”
Speeches and toasts
“Get the whole toast. Hold still so we can hear it clearly.”
Candles and the song
“Start filming as the singing starts. Hold steady for the big blow!”
Cake
“Get close. Frosting faces are encouraged.”
Gifts
“Film their face, not just the box. Reactions are everything.”
Games and activities
“Short clips of the fun. Catch the winners and the losers.”
The big reveal
“Start filming early and keep the guest of honor in frame.”
Performance
“Film it horizontally and hold steady. Stay seated so you don't block anyone.”
Dance floor

Only the people you send a link to can watch. Share with everyone who came, or keep it to yourself.

Clips and photos are stored privately and encrypted at rest. We never use your footage for ads.
Yours to delete

Questions

Good things to ask.

How much does it cost?

$149 for your birthday party, paid once. Every film, the photo album, unlimited guests and unlimited uploads are included.

Who can see the clips and the films?

Only you, and the people you choose to share with. Your guest page is unlisted, clips are stored privately and encrypted at rest, and your films live on a private link that only people you send it to can open. We never use your footage for ads, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.

What do guests need?

Just a phone with a camera. They scan the QR code on your sign or table card, and the page opens in their browser. There is no app to install and no account to create. Guests can add their name so you know who filmed what, or stay anonymous.

What if the Wi-Fi is bad?

Sparkler is built for it. Clips upload in small pieces in the background, retry automatically, and pick up where they left off if a guest loses signal, locks their phone or closes the page. Anything that arrives late goes into your extended cut the next morning.

What if our guests don't film much?

Most groups film more than you'd think: 40 guests who each film three 20-second clips make two hours of footage for a three-minute film. Your dashboard shows uploads live, and the "happening now" prompts on the guest page nudge people at the moments that matter. If there truly isn't enough for a film, we refund you.

Do we really get 3 films?

Yes, all included in the one price. Pick up to 3 moods and Sparkler cuts a separate film for each from the same footage. They share the biggest moments but are otherwise built from different clips: the heartfelt one lingers on the toasts, the funny one finds the lines that got a laugh, the party one lives on the dance floor.

What happens to the photos guests take?

Every photo lands in your private album as it uploads: straightened, sorted by moment and guest, with blurry and closed-eye shots set aside. Favourite or hide any of them, download them all in one go, and share the album with guests on your film page. The best photos also appear in your films.

Is the music licensed?

Yes. Every film gets a song from Sparkler's own library of original music, matched to the film's mood and pace (or chosen by you). Your films come with the right to share them on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and anywhere else you like.

Can we choose exactly what goes in?

Yes. Alongside your films, the dashboard has a "Your cut" builder: pick the clips and photos you want, put them in order (or let Sparkler order them by time), and choose a song and a look. Remake it as often as you like.

How far ahead do we need to book?

Any time before your birthday party, even the week of. Setup takes a few minutes, and you can print your QR signs at home.
