Since the farewell
of Tomodachi
Tomodachi chose to
stop it's active public life in 1998. If desire, see the farewell,
here.
Each episode must
be correctly timed from where each line begins, that's 300 -
500 times, and also on the end of each of those 300-500 timing
events. In other words, an beginning time and an ending time
for event doubles the amount of timing that the subtitler has
to check and correct per episode.
The first set of corrections
are made and the episode is run with subtitles on a timing tape,
so that the correction can be checked and more corrections can
be made. It is a very long process of correcting, running the
tape, correcting, running the tape, correcting, running the tape.
Remember that an average TV series is going to have 4 episodes
per tape! Technical or
Creative subtitling is not for people who cannot concentrate
or stay focused on a single task. |
