Evangelion: After the End - Picsub

What is it?

Well, on the Evangelion Soundtrack CD "Addition" there is a track called After the End which is an audio drama recorded by the original cast members.

The script is a comedy fiction based around the idea that King Records want another series of Eva and have forced the cast to regroup and come up with new ideas for the show. It's very funny.

The script has been around for a while and I'm sure that some of you will have even gotten hold of a fansub of sorts using the original script.

I decided to do something a little different with it.

What is a Picsub?

It's a word I made up to describe what I've made - I think it needed it's own word as I intend to do many more of these in the future. A Picsub a method of subtitling something that doesnt have any video, such as audio dramas. What I have done is I've represented each character talking with a small picture of them taken from the series. The translated speech is then put in a bubble underneath them, much like a computer game - example

The backgrounds, titles and various other things are taken form the series and so on in order to create a visual to go with the audio. The video is made up of individual stills created in Adobe Photoshop which are then imported into Adobe Premier to make them into a video. A small amount of video editing and technical trickery and you have the finished product. Easy but time consuming.

Where can I get it?

At the minute there is no hosting for the Eva picsub but you may be able to find it on p2p programs or IRC.

Are you doing more?

Maybe... we'll see.
