Closed Captions, Subtitles and an animated character

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

I am able to utilize several different processes to create clean Closed Captions or Subtitles for your videos.

Accurately and more efficiently then you might expect. Using this technology I am able to create an SRT for a true ‘closed caption’ or subtitles that are ‘burnt onto’ the screen.
Subtitling is very important to get right. It provides a real inclusive messaging solution, give you an SEO advantage and allows people that watch the video without the sound on to get your messaging.

As a side note, this is a good example of using an animated character for presenting information. I tried to customize him to look similar to me (maybe 10 years ago albeit) but the animation, lip sync, and gestures were fun to work with.
