Omona introduces Prection Subs!!!

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

Because providing all your daily kpop news isn't enough for us, Omona Headquarters has decided to conquer the land of subbing! Get excited~

Some positions that will make up our subbing team...(and of course you can apply for multiple)
+ Translators - For those of you in omona_prection who would also like to get involved, or for the few of you out there who know Korean but aren't a part of the translating team yet. The job will require understanding Korean by ear (none of that Google translate business), so near fluency is appreciated.
+ Editors - For those of you who boast extraordinary skills at English, feel free to join! This will require correcting grammar and usage errors that the translators make as well as clarifying parts that might get lost in translation.
+ Timers/Typesetters - Those of you who can time the translations to the raw videos, and those who can provide pretty fonts and colors and position the subs on the screen.
+ QCers - Stands for quality control: for those who are able to catch timing, typesetting, encoding, and grammar errors that the editor may have missed.
+ Encoders - This position requires putting the softsubs and video together into a hardsubbed video.
+ It would also be nice for someone who has been on a subbing team before to take the lead and guide the rest of us through the process, and be a sort of team leader.

We'll be discussing further details and putting up applications at prection_subs, but we just wanted to get a feel for who's interested in this project for now. So head on over if you're willing to participate!

Also, a common question you guys might have is what videos we'll be subbing. So far we're thinking of starting off basic, such as radio clips, audio UFOs, or the odd MC cut or mobile ranking clip from a music show. Mostly short videos that would get posted on Omona unsubbed. If you guys have any ideas as to what else we should focus on or shows that sometimes get left in the dust by other fan forum subbing teams, please comment~*~ And we'll probably have a request post sometime in the near future at prection_subs for specific videos you guys want.

TYFYT ♥

Question. Do I need to be fluent in Korean for the editor post?

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

I happy to see omona expanding but I have to add my two cents. I'm honestly not sure how useful this will be. I say that because all the popular groups already having subbing teams that get stuff out pretty fast. And small cuts like radio shows, MC-ing and mobile rankings are done by many individual subbers on youtube. I was once part of a subbing team and the reason I only do individual subbing now is because so much time gets wasted trying to coordinate the time schedules of the people who are doing individual steps. The reason I bring this up is because if members don't even have the patience to to use omona_prection and instead post crap articles from allkpop just for the sake of speed, I'm not sure if this will be utilized to its full extend either. I may be totally wrong but I just wanted to throw my observation out there.

[filmsession.livejournal.com]

I see your point but I don't think the fact that other people are out there doing the same things should prevent us from doing it as well. News articles come up and sometimes omona_prection gets to it first, sometimes we don't. The fact that we're not always first doesn't mean we give up our job because other people are out there translating the same thing.

Same with this, we're hoping that sometimes we'll be the ones to sub videos first even though it might not always be the case. As for the team working around each others schedules, I think a lot of the time only two people are required for a video (granted a person has basic knowledge of timing/encoding) which shouldn't be that hard to manage.

I'd like to say I could help, but I can't. Excited for this. :D

[awkwardnormalcy.livejournal.com]

I am interested in being added to the editor ranks also.
