Customer Stories

The creative team at Stupid Studio shares how Connie has become an essential part of their workflow, both on shoots and in workshops. By replacing manual consent forms with digital collection and QR tags, they've freed up time and mental energy to focus on the creative work itself.

For production and facilitation teams constantly on the move, the last thing you want to worry about on location is paperwork. Yet for years, managing photo permissions and consent forms meant clipboards, printed sheets, and the inevitable chaos of tracking who had signed what and who hadn't.

That's exactly the problem Connie solved for Stupid Studio.

The Challenge of Managing Permissions on the Go

When you're on a shoot or running a workshop with dozens of participants, getting photo and video consent shouldn't slow you down. But manual consent collection is error-prone and time-consuming. It pulls your focus away from the creative work you're actually there to do.

"We use Connie a lot when we're out on productions. Especially when we're doing facilitation and video work. It helps us stay focused on what we're good at, instead of dealing with tedious things like getting permission to take photos."

QR Tags: The Game-Changer in the Field

One of Stupid Studio's most-loved features? Connie's physical QR tags, a simple but powerful tool that makes consent collection seamless in live environments. At a recent workshop, every team member arrived equipped with a Connie tag. As participants came in, they were invited to scan. For those who preferred not to, a sticker was placed on their clothing, a clear and immediate visual cue that everyone on the team could act on without any guesswork.

No confusion. No missed steps. No awkward interruptions mid-session.

Saving Time on File Archiving

The benefits extend well beyond the day of the event. Internally, Stupid Studio has seen a significant reduction in time spent on file archiving. Because everything is stored digitally in one place, finding a consent record or pulling it up if someone withdraws their permission takes seconds rather than minutes.

"Internally, we've started saving a lot of time on file archiving, because everything is just stored in Connie."

Raising the Bar Professionally and Experientially

Perhaps most tellingly, the shift to Connie hasn't just improved Stupid Studio's internal workflows. It's changed how participants experience the events themselves. People are noticeably happier not having to fill out paper forms. The online process is quick, intuitive and adds a layer of polish to the whole experience.
