Trainer Bio

Paul Memmi - Paul Memmi has a passion for signs, signs we send to each other, and that some make into great works of art or great thoughts. This passion led him to become a translator - a messenger as well as an interpreter - and to teach his profession at university. It has also made him write for cinema and create fine art works. His collages illustrate his website. If the subtitled image aims to be perceived as a ready-made expression, one can also be fascinated by its aesthetic as a collage, that is, according to Eisenstein, cinema itself.

This video contains useful information but only for beginners with zevo experience in subtitling. It doesn't add any value for someone who has already worked on one subtitling project at max.

I would've preferred English examples since I don't speak French. Nothing I didn't know. boring just looking at the presenter's 'resume'; not enough examples,etc.

The worst webinar I have ever attended. It didn't even touch upon most of the areas that it had promised to cover in the course summary.

Too few examples, there could have been more information about software, prices, practical working conditions and market conditions, more to look at and to read.
