Ghostbusters library ghost scene. Everything else was kinda cute or slightly ridiculous, but that first ghost appearance... till this day creeps me out.

So infuriating! I've been googling the guy and it seems he's been getting away with it for years!

They asked me to wait then I was talking to another person who talked about some "great deals". I interrupted and asked them to proceed with my request. Ended up talking to 5 ppl, the last one was a supervisor. By that point I used "cancel my subscription" instead of punctuation. Took me an hour!

SDH is subtitles for the hearing, CC (closed captions) are for the deaf and hard of hearing. Hence all the extra information.

No, it isn't. If the hearing audience can't hear what the character is saying then that's what you write for the deaf and hard of hearing too. Our job is not to guess what they might have been saying, but what a hearing person can hear. Often it's part of the script we get.

Cause it costs more to do both and they'd rather save money.

It's because they pay less and less, so professional CC creators like myself refuse a lot of the jobs and these are often done by random ppl who did not have the right training.

Those are subtitles. Subtitles are for the hearing. CC is for the deaf and hard of hearing, hence the square brackets with extra information.

They would need to pay twice for that as subs and cc creation are different jobs, often done with different tools. And as we know, what counts in capitalism is profit, not giving the best service/product/experience.

They are for the deaf and hard of hearing. Genres like rock or jazz might not be helpful as someone who was born deaf would not know what that means. They understand upbeat, sad, melancholic etc. Sometimes you have to be very creative other times you get a brief that describes what can be used.

I work as a close captioner and those are for the deaf & hard of hearing. But only pertinent information should be added (noise the character can hear and reacts to, e.g., knock on door.) A lot depends on the in-house rules too. Subtitles and CC are not the same and often you can find both.

A very long-winded way of saying "The British fucked it up big time and have no idea how to get out of it, also capitalism fucks everything up but we still won't name the elephant in the room because we're all saving face." I'm expecting UK refugees in the EU in about 10 yrs' time.

Just showed this comment to my husband, who's a great illustrator, and he said, "I'm on it!".
