#subtitled jerma

[jermasubtitledofficial]

Hi everyone, I'm the official subtitle editor for 2ndJerma and Jerma Stream Archive. I've been working to make Jerma985's videos more accessible through closed captions and subtitles. Jerma985 videos are subtitled regularly. You can view the definitive playlist of them here:

I also provide play-by-play updates on Twitter (@JermaSubtitled) to keep you informed on when and which videos have captions finalized and published.

Subtitling is a labor-intensive task that requires a lot of time and effort, but it's worth it to make sure that everyone can enjoy Jerma's content. However, I don't receive official compensation for my work. (writing, reviewing and editing captions) Without official pay, it can be difficult to justify the time I put into managing subtitles. That's why I'm reaching out to the community for support.

If you appreciate the effort I put into providing subtitles, please consider supporting me on Patreon. You can join for as low as $3/month, and all proceeds go towards continuing to make Jerma's videos accessible. If you'd like to give a one-time tip instead, you can do so here. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated. Your funding is 100% responsible for keeping Jerma985 subtitles running.

I understand that not everyone is in a position to contribute financially, and that's okay! Just spreading the word and letting others know that these subtitles exist and are available is a huge help. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. With your help, we can do a great service for YouTube accessibility.

Up next, a recap of what happened in March 2023:

I update interested parties each month about what's been added, and I'll start posting them here if there's sufficient interest, plus any additional musings. So here's the recap from March:

The community has provided so many submissions I'm nearly overwhelmed! I have a lot to review. Every caption will be published, it's just a matter of time. Those not present have been added to the queue.

First, overlap from February is SCORN by me, Erasmus Magnus. It highlights an interesting conundrum of subtitling: how to intuitively portray something said for a deaf/HOH audience, in this case a filtered voice. Feedback I received including that of @maplecaster led to the final result, and I think it works tremendously well.

Second, we have The Short Sniper by community regular, kitpigeon. Short and sweet, high-quality subs for one of Jerma's low-profile videos. Great job.

Next, we have Receding Randy transcribed by @maplecaster. This was some fine stuff. I'm embarrassed how long it took me to sync it, but that's only because I'm something of a perfectionist. I try to limit the time sink, but I want the best for the subtitles, and it only makes sense to polish the time to be as good as the text content.

After that, we have an absolute classic in the form of Grab that Grotto 5—no relation to Grotto Beasts—by @graysaregay. Well done on this. I did some executive editing for some tricky stuff like the text-to-speech voice. I'm really glad this ol' classic nearing a million has captions now.

And finally, italoplumber has provided a German translation of The Max Cow Capacity Compulsion. Never would've guessed he was popular in DACH countries, but I suppose it makes sense. It's in his name. Willkommen in Jermany.

And that's it! If you want to see more about official Jerma985 subtitles, including musings and related information, consider following! And again, play-by-play updates can be found on Twitter at @JermaSubtitled.

Did you know there's a Jerma Subtitled Twitter? Not many people know about it. They have like over 50 subtitled videos in their playlist. Thought you might want to know.

2ndJerma Subtitles - Jerma's Terrifying Roblox Birthday

Hey, I want to wish a very special happy birthday to CUSTOMER NAME. Heard you had a big day today! It's been so wonderful to hear from you, CUSTOMER NAME.

If you're wondering what this is about, here's some context, also subtitled:

Hope you enjoy these! The video was a blast. Subtitling it was a pain. Literally. My wrist is inflamed. But hey, now they're up. I'm super proud of the rainbow flashing effect. That was done by hand. I used math and trial and error to color the hex codes manually. Was it necessary? Not really. Does it aid in accessibility? Not particularly. Is it cool as hell? Yeah. I'm full of tricks like these.

For future reference, I probably won't be making a post for every subtitle uploaded. It'll be for "big deal" subtitles, and a recap for each month. If you want the latest Jerma subtitles regularly, your best bet is to follow the Jerma Subtitled Twitter. That's where you'll get all the quick n dirty updates. Emphasis on the quick.

But next up, expect a full repository of subtitled Jerma resources. It's all inclusive, so you're not gonna want to miss it! Follow for more official Jerma subtitle updates.

“Dreams will come true, for me and for you...”

Spoilers for Skinamarink and its proof-of-concept film, Heck.

Firstly, I haven’t been to the cinema in years.

Had to really rack my brain to come up with the last movie I saw on the big screen. Last thing I remember seeing was The Incredibles (2004). I thought, ‘Surely, there had to be something else between then and now’. I also remembered seeing Finding Nemo in theatres as a kid, only to look up its release year and find that it came out in 2003. It’s been almost a decade. I’ll try to make an effort to do this more often going forward; it was kind of fun.

Skinamarink broke my movie-going abstinence streak. When it first leaked, there was thread after thread about it on r/horror. I saw it compared to Lynch films and to House of Leaves, both of which I am a super-fan. Then, one of my favourite movie podcasts covered it (and Heck). So out of curiosity and wanting to wait for the official release, I watched Heck. I didn’t like it. I skipped through it again after watching Skinamarink to confirm that I didn’t like it. Sure, it’s easier to follow than Skinamarink. The shot with the boy’s mom sat upright in darkness is quite eerie. But the Jerma sus face demon at the bottom of the stairs near the end of the short film and the final line of dialogue ruined any good will I had up to that point...

...Which are some of the same criticisms I’ve seen of the feature length presentation, I suppose. The sus demon is swapped out with the warped face on the chatter phone; “I think we’re in Hell” for “Put the knife in your eye.” I’ve seen several people on reddit complain of the looping film grain (which I was too engrossed in the film to notice on first watch). 

The film is hard to recommend. It’s a slow burn, so glacial that I’d be lying if I wasn’t primed to nod off in the theatre. I didn’t because of the annoyingly disproportionate volume of the jumpscares (also, some shitty teens ran in my showing halfway through runtime screeching “IS THIS A SCARY MOVIE??” until someone begrudgingly answered “Yes”). The film is a tad too long. The subtitling is inconsistent. Depending on how you read the film, there is/isn’t a payoff. 

I took the ending as either Death commanding the boy to go to (final) sleep or a non-sequential, half-remembered vision of his father commanding the same. I’ve seen some criticism that the subsequent line is a cheap fourth wall break. However, in the subtitles for the leaked cut it reads [CHILD’S VOICE: “What is your name?]

If I had to compare the film to anything, it’s a bizarre mashup of The Mandela Catalogue, David Lynch’s Rabbits, and that vibe of needing to pee at 3am but not wanting to venture out of bed into sheer darkness. If you give it a chance, I urge you to watch the theatrical version if only because I think the ending is edited better. In a sparse theatre or a dark room alone.

I’m probably going to watch the theatrical cut again because I swear there’s a non-sequitur shot of the kitchen where the top of a man’s head is seen that isn’t in the leaked festival cut and I need to know I didn’t hallucinate that.

“Dreams will come true,”

“for me and for you...”

“Somewhere in Dreamland tonight...”

Thank you maple! And thank you everyone for your interest! We've already gotten shy of 100 prospective volunteers in a day, so I really appreciate all your support. Just started a Tumblr since it seemed like the place to be for subtitled Jerma content. Apologies for any newbishness. Haven't 100% decided how to start using it, but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again!

have you ever wanted to help out your fellow jerma fans that are deaf/heard of hearing/have any sort of trouble with audio processing?

if so, please consider joining the official Jerma Stream Archive discord server and getting the CC Helpers role. after that, you can pick any video uploaded by 2ndJerma or Jerma Stream Archive and start captioning!

you don’t need experience, only accurate writing. they’re always taking volunteers, so feel free to join any time.
