At Crexels, I do a lot of translation and dubbing for different projects. I have to translate the projects fro english to spanish. I can’t change any of the actual video and there is not much creative involved since the graphics have to be exactly the same. The only control that I have is the audio. For that, I take extremely good care that it is perfect.
The infomercials I have done are of course translations from english. There is no way to hide the fact that the audio and the movements of the mouth are different but when the audio is out of sync, when the levels are off and when there is no emotion on the new voices, it not only bothers the viewer but it also destroys all credibility and interest on what it is being said.
Audio is something that is very unconscious, you don’t pay attention when it is done right and that is the key. It makes the video pleasant and it adds so much to the experience.
The best example of how important audio is can be seen in horror movies. Just mute any horror movie and the horror is gone. The audio gives you a push to the edge of the seat.
It is the same with audio translation for infomercials. A show will not be great because people are paying attention to the audio but a show can be destroyed because the sound is bad.
What do you think?

When I started to work with DigiBetas a few years ago, I had to figure out a way to capture them or transfer them to my editing system. Purchasing a DigiBeta Deck was out of the question since price and service are very expensive. So I decided to go to a Duplication/Encoding facility to do the work. I stooped by Santa Monica Video and never left.
Well, I did try somebody closer to my studio once, but it was slower and the customer service was not what I wanted or deserved.
In SMV things are completely different, the team there is just amazing, From the people in the front to the guys in the machine room. You walk in feeling welcomed and you know that the quality of the service they provide is the best in the industry. I know that some times I ask too much, there is always a project that is late, but they do their best to help me and ALWAYS they have surprised me with their speed and great atitude.
I thank you for your excellent work and for the amazing service you provide small companies like ours. And special thanks to Theo for all that you do.
Sincerely
The Crexels’ Team
I have been inside a Recording studio for four days and it saddens me to see all the paper that it is wasted. Even though we recycle and use the paper on both sides.
So last time I took a different route and a nicer one. Even the talent was happier. The only problem is that they we very easily distracted.
- buena Idea!!!!
We just received or award letter. “Cuidado con los Leftovers” won a 2010 Telly Award. We are very happy that these awards demonstrates our commitment to our work and the quality of production Crexels delivers.
ModMyI has an article where the think that Apple will be unveiling the new iPhone on June 22nd Apple usually has its big event at The Yerba Buena Center for Arts, located by the Moscone Center in San Francisco. And they have reserved the place for an event on the 22nd. We will see is the new iPhone has the camera in front, how it will work with the iPhone 4.0 software and if it will go to Verizon.
Many questions and of course no answers until Steve Jobs stands on the stage and show us they new toy (or toys)
