Dubbing

  • What distinguishes dubbing from subtitling?

    Dubbing, a crucial step in the post-production process, involves re-recording the dialogues of a film in a different language from the original. This technique creates an immersive cinematic experience for viewers in their native language or a language they understand perfectly. On the other hand, subtitling offers a different approach by displaying the written translation of the dialogues at the bottom of the screen. This method allows viewers to follow the dialogues and grasp the nuances of the film while preserving the original language. Whether through dubbing or subtitling, both approaches play an essential role in the dissemination and understanding of cinematic works worldwide, facilitating access to cultural and linguistic diversity.

TRANSLATION

  • What is the purpose of translation in a dubbing project?

    Translation plays a vital role in dubbing projects as it facilitates the transcription of dialogue from the original language into a new language. This crucial step then allows for the overlaying of voices in the new language onto the original audio. Through translation, it becomes possible to create a localized version of content, providing an immersive and seamless experience for viewers in different linguistic regions. Whether it be for a film, television series, or any other project requiring professional dubbing, translation is a key stage that ensures an accurate and coherent adaptation of the original dialogue in the target language.

  • Do translators employ specialized tools or software for their work?

    Indeed, translators frequently utilize specialized tools and software to optimize their translation process. Among these tools are the renowned computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, which provide valuable assistance to translators by automating repetitive tasks and facilitating translation project management. These tools enable the creation and management of glossaries, terminological databases, and translation memories. Through these resources, translators can access a wealth of linguistic and terminological information to ensure optimal coherence and accuracy in their translations. These specialized tools and software thus offer essential support to translators in their work, enabling them to enhance efficiency and ensure consistent quality in their translated deliverables.

  • What is the turnaround time for your transcribers to complete a project?

    The size, complexity, and duration of the project are key determining factors that influence the required timeframe for its completion. Generally, the majority of projects can be accomplished within a reasonable time window, estimated between 24 and 48 hours. However, it is important to note that larger or more complex projects may require additional time to ensure impeccable quality work.

RADIO SPOTS AND CORPORATE FILMS

  • What are the key distinctions between a radio spot and a corporate institutional film?

    The medium on which they are presented distinguishes a radio spot from a corporate promotional film. Radio spots typically consist of short audio advertisements aired on the radio, while corporate films are longer videos used for marketing a company, product, or service. Additionally, radio spots typically feature sound effects and voice-overs, while corporate films may include visual elements, interviews, and graphics.

  • Are there any limitations on the length of radio advertisements?

    When it comes to radio spots, it is common practice to adhere to a maximum duration of 30 seconds. This time constraint compels creators to be concise and concentrate their message in order to quickly captivate the audience. Despite the limited time, this brief period offers numerous advantages. It enables the delivery of a clear, impactful, and memorable message without losing the attention of listeners. 30-second radio spots present a genuine creative challenge that pushes advertisers to be succinct, carefully choose their words, and employ immediate engagement techniques to stand out. Thanks to their brevity, these radio spots can be aired more frequently, thereby increasing their exposure and effectiveness. They provide a unique opportunity to convey an impactful message in a concise and memorable manner.

  • Are there any limitations regarding the duration of corporate films?

    Indeed, institutional films are subject to restrictions in terms of duration. Generally, it is recommended that most institutional films do not exceed 3 minutes. However, it should be noted that the length of the film may vary depending on the specific objectives of the project as well as the allocated budget. It is important to consider various factors such as the content to cover, the targeted audience, and the planned distribution channels. Based on these elements, it may be justified to adjust the duration of the institutional film to meet the specific communication needs of the company. The ultimate objective is to captivate the audience and effectively convey the institutional message, while respecting time constraints and optimizing the impact of the produced audiovisual content.

  • How to produce a captivating radio spot or corporate film?

    The process of creating a radio spot or corporate film typically involves the following steps:
