SUBTITLING AN EPISODE OF SUPER DRAGON BALL HEROES IN YOUTUBE.

Translating one language to another is indeed a difficult but , anything is possible if it's fun!!
Since , this was the first time I had done subtitling it was very exciting.So looking at the the character's face and emotion I phrased the sentences , sometimes even if it was just fine as a raw translation.I was also adding subtitles for beams and blasts like "BAM!BAM!BAM!".I had a lot of fun doing and was smiling like a child!!😄  I went to pick my sister up from her class , but when I came back the computer was off and I got mad at my maid for doing it.Then , she told me it wasn't her doing there was a power cut.I was so mad that I could blow up a planet and be fine with it!!!!Then I told myself to cool my head off as I remembered a certain character's words.Then i laughed as I realized how much the series had made an impact...

FUN FACT: When I told my mom about it, she was angry at the people who cut the power!But then I asked her to chill as they had to do maintenance.

With the help of subtitling, many films and television series have a global audience.One can say it is an old fashioned way of just typing the translation of the language in the series in the needed language and timing them to appear under the scenes where that dialogue or sequence happens.But, is subtitling better or is dubbing better.Even though I am not saying that dubbing is bad , there is still the undisputed fact that due to the lore,jokes or references made in the film or T.V series made in one language , there are facts which can not be translated verbally, especially due to the time constraint or the duration of the episode or mouth flaps .This problem can be solved in the subbed version by giving meaning and the reference of jokes,puns.etc

Don't get me wrong I loved subbing the episode and adding my onomatopoeia of the beams being fired and specific character traits.( During subbing I wanted to, through onomatopoeia subtitles show that the video the audience were watching was dragon ball just like how they do it in the manga.)
But if I or any other person had not subbed it,it would have not been understood by a large audience.
I would like to get another chance at subbing episodes and also telling the story through subtitles !!!

Thank you and have a nice day !!!

Ryo Onishi :The animator who can bring life to the characters

I feel that I should have talked about him earlier!!! My favorite animator in Dragon ball Super : Broly , Ryo Onishi! He has animating skills which bring about animation which is very fluid,which goes well with the simplistic character designs of the main character designer Naohiro Shintani.Goku doing the his warm-up in the teaser trailer is the best example ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1rECVSJfQA ) CHARACTER DESIGN ), but  Goku eating doesn't fall short either(pic 1).The only jarring shot compared to other shots was Goku"s first clash with Broly (pic 2).He and Naotoshi Shida bring about the main fluid moments in the movie!!! PICTURE 1 PICTURE 2 I feel the success of the film was the director, animators and producers working in sync as well as the good schedule and budget which attracted even many freelance animators.The animator's work as well as the new line filter technology introduced at Toei animation helped bring the reall

UNREAL-BUT-REAL-MAGAZINE-SUBMISSION

My online magazine targets children above 10 years who have love for science and experimenting as I always did. The magazine will raise the curiosity of the reader and will also promote Science as a fun activity. My cover page idea is based on a thought I had "flight into the never before seen skies even past the clouds", this idea has the clouds as obstacles and the young boy getting through them with ease. The contents page's artwork came to be when this idea created another topic to work on " Onward to space!!" which is why I drew children riding on a Rocket to space. These thoughts and their respective illustrations symbolize the infinite possibilities that lie in science, and that it can be a very enjoyable journey if taken with the right approach. The Double Spread has a background of large water bubbles symbolizing infinite possibilities, and as the experiment is to do with water I felt this to be apt. The photos I have click

Sound editing, so how was it for me ?

I started with writing a story, that had elements that I could easily find as clips from YouTube. The story goes like this:"It is heavily raining along with lighting and thunder. During this rain a man is walking and sees a cat and attempts to shelter it until the rain stops. Birds start to chirp and crickets sing bringing the morning. The rooster roosts to wake every soul up as if it was declaring that everything is safe and the rain had stopped, signaling to everyone that they can come out of their shelters. Then the man walks to his farm where we can clearly hear the rooster after which we hear the cows and goats " The editing process was completely new to me and I had to go through trial and error and refer to tutorials which were of only five minutes length to ensure that I wasn't wasting my time.So I picked up on the things I had to do and with a few attempts I managed  to complete the project. I then asked my mom to listen to the clip. She said there was a
