UWOL 29 - The Origin of Light - Paul Wood

Paul,

Your original video appear to be just black here now, and the only way to play it,is to click the "header/title". (Then it plays as it should)
I just checked the settings on the UWOL Vimeo page, and your original video still has the same embedding settings as all the others.

Also, your 2nd video appear to be deleted. This one was on your personal Vimeo page, right?

Hi Trond,

From the time of your post, it looks like you checked whilst the video was uploading - the second version is on my own page, and I just checked - it seems to be playing OK now. The first is indeed black, but as you say, it plays OK - I can't see a way to edit the original post, but the link should still be the same.

Thanks!

I like the revised second version much better now!

Hi Paul

This works so much better than the sub-titles.

I think you've nailed the technique for any future films requiring translation. Well done.

Hi Paul.
This film is both ambitious and complex.
I had to watch the movie several times to get me sub titles.
You solve the task (approach to the theme) in an outstanding manner,
and the interviewee is both natural and convincing.
It's great to see that a uwol theme can be prepared in so many ways, as in this round.
It is one of several benefits of being ember of Uwol :)
All the best and thanks for sharing.

Marj, I will certainly look at this technique in the future - as Trond says, I think the acceptance of the use of subtitles very much depends on where you live - I got used to the when living in Portugal, where many English language films are not dubbed.

Mike, thanks - I think its better as well!

Geir Inge, thanks for your comments - indeed a complex subject, and the original interview was much longer - but had to be edited down to meet the time constrictions for the contest.
