Greenscreen
video (also known as chromakey video)
for the web has arrived! No longer
is it necessary to shoot greenscreen
video at expensive video production
houses. In fact, greenscreening technology
has gotten so good that our entire
video studio is mobile — we
can bring the studio right to you!
Greenscreening
technology allows us to put our actors
or yours seamlessly into your existing
web site without having to change
a single thing on your site. Or we
can put the actor directly into a
virtual million dollar studio set!
Technology like this used to costs
thousands of dollars and be time consuming
to produce. Today it's easy and affordable!
The
process works like this:
Our technicians set up our portable
studio at your location, or you're
welcome to come to ours. One hour
of setup and we're ready to roll.
One
way glass makes delivering
your message into the camera
easy.
We load your script into our teleprompter
so your talent won't forget his
or her lines. Our one way teleprompter
glass allows the talent to look
directly into the camera lens while
reading the script.
We shoot several takes to ensure
we get one that comes out just right.
We then work the video directly
into your web site or the virtual
set of your choice. We can also
blend the talent directly into an
existing photograph or other graphic
of your choice.
We utilize
the Macromedia Flash format, allowing
your video to be seen by nearly 100%
of Internet users. The Flash format
also allows us to add additional interactivity
so your video can interact with other
elements on your web page. This is
great for online demonstrations, presentations,
education, and more.
Below is an
example below of how the same original
greenscreen footage can be used with
three different virtual sets:

We have numerous
existing sets from which to choose,
or we can even model a brand new set
from scratch according to your specifications!
With greenscreen video the possibilities
are endless.
Once we have
combined the raw greenscreen footage
with background of your choice (or
no background at all!) we can then
add animation, music, even secondary
video clips into the scene. We can
synchronize these clips to enhance
your presentation. Below is an example
of a completed scene:

with greenscreen video.

As you can
see, virtually anything is possible
with greenscreen video. Whether you're
interested in video for your web site,
CD, or DVD, Sites & Sounds will
work with you to make your creative
ideas a reality.
