So, how does 1stWelcome work?
Creating a 1stWelcome video requires a series of steps. (Don't get overwhelmed - Our staff makes it both easy and fun to do!)

The Message - The first stage is the message. What do you want to say to your customers? What product or service do you wish to sell, or bring attention to? Which of your employees (if not you) need to greet your visitors? Once a plan is created, a carefully crafted storyboard and script are created.

Filming - Most videos are filmed on-location at 1stWelcome, while others are filmed at studios around the world. The critical element is to use what's referred to as a "greenroom studio". Using a "greenroom" allows 1stWelcome video editors to use a process named, "chroma-key". Chroma-key allows for anything in the video that is green, to be removed, leaving a transparent background around and behind the person or product that was filmed.

Audio - Most spoken audio is captured at the time the video is filmed. However, many of our clients enhance their video by using background music and even sound effects.

Graphics and Animations - Some messages require a physical item to displayed for maximum impact. This can be something as small as a can of soda, or as large as a house. Once we have the image in digital format (digital picture) we can do amazing things with it, and even add transition effects like fire to make it really stand out.

Rendering - Rendering is the process in which all of the above elements are combined into a format for use within the 1stWelcome software. This then becomes the "final" video, ready for your website!
