Bio: 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.

Managing uncommon situations
Jul 16, 2010
Since we haven't heard a lot, because of technical problems, I can't really comment the course details.
I'd like to thank to Leslie, how he was able to manage this uncommon situation. This was my 2nd webinar, I'm not sure, if problems like yesterday, happen often or not. (Honestly, I think, because of the embarrassment of Leslie, this is an uncommon issue). Maybe I'd have waited a bit less, before announcing that the course will be interrupted, maybe not. We all work with computers, and know well, that those problems are not easy to handle. Anyway, I'm not demoralized, it was a kind of best practice in handling this situation. Thank you, Leslie, thanks proz, *hear* you soon!

I would like this course to rescheduled, if possible

It was a shame that the voice connection broke during the session. If it could be rscheduled, I would be delighted.

Unfortunately we did have technical issues. The internet connection on Paul's end was unstable and we lost audio and visual a few times. Thanks for being understanding and patient.
We will definitely reschedule this course and are targeting next Thursday at the same time. I hope to have that confirmed today and will inform all participants of the new time and send out the new registration details.
We try to ensure all webinars and online training is free from interruption, delays and technical glitches.
I will post to this thread when we have the confirmed rescheduling of this course.
Regards,
Drew

Worth waiting for the repeat session
Jul 30, 2010
I enjoyed all three of Paul's sessions. It was very nice of him to reschedule the 'Concise Writing' session that had to be suspended due to technical problems. I am very interested in doing subtitling for documentary films in the future but his tips have already been useful to me in my copywriting.

I really enjoyed the webinar, the sound-quality was excellent this second time around and the instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced. I wish I could attend a classroom course in Paris with this particular instructor.
