Dear Subtitlers, Please stop. ▷ Stop calling yourself subtitlers if you don't even know what reading speed is. I'm tired of doing QC for subtitles where the CPS is over 35 CPS and more. I'm not gonna fix that shizzle, okay? No more, fam. Here's what you need to understand: ▷ CPS = Characters Per Second Every subtitle has its reading speed, usually displayed in CPS. ▷ Netflix = 17 CPS ▷ Disney+ = 20 CPS You shouldn't go over these numbers, okay? No more Infinite CPS. If I see you invoking the spirit of Infinite CPS one more time... Bad, bad things will happen! PS: This is the Infinite CPS Doggo. Do NOT summon him! He may look cute, but he is very angry. He will come at you with his baseball bat. True story. #subtitling #audiovisualtranslation #litranslators #translation

Here’s a little clip from episode 1 of “where two points meet” which is up on my site and you tube !! #songwriter #filmmusic #shortfilm

Paul Schrader is the screenwriter of the Hollywood cult classic Taxi Driver. In this lecture, he challenges conventional storytelling techniques and shares his approach to creating stories. This is not just a masterclass but is also like spending a year at a film school. I strongly recommend watching the entire video without skipping a single second. If you don't like it the first time, watch it again. #ScreenplayTips #Screenplay #PaulSchrader #BAFTA #Lecture
