A call from the police: my4cut at a marathon
The short answer
The call from the police station was not about a crime. They wanted to use my4cut at a marathon event. Finishers could take a four-cut photo right after the run, and we laid out the shooting area in one direction to keep waits short.
The phone call
A call from the police sounded scary at first.
Luckily, it was a request to use my4cut at a marathon event.
It felt surreal that something I built for events is now used in public programs.
Running 4-cut memories
Runners could take a 4-cut photo right after finishing the marathon.
The energy and smiles after the run made the photos extra special.
Capturing the moment right after the finish line keeps the memory vivid.
Used in public and government events
Hearing from the police department was a big moment.
It’s meaningful that the app is being used in public and government-run events.
Organizers loved that they could include event branding in the frames.
On-site operation tips
Setup was quick, and the flow stayed smooth throughout the event.
QR sharing and instant saving helped participants get their photos fast.
We placed the booth in a single-direction flow to reduce waiting time.
A positive impact
I never imagined the app would contribute to the community like this.
The experience reminded me why we build: to create positive impact.
Hope to see my4cut at more public events and running races soon.
