Summer/Fall Recruitment

Need:

Timer(s)
Requirements: pass the timer test. It’s pretty self-explanatory. Use TPP etc and email the timed script to:

Additional requirement: Not be in an European time zone.
Bonus points: AMERICAN TIMERS FUCKING WHERE?

Oh and you should have somewhat decent internet to download workraws in a relatively short amount of time (~100MB in a couple of minutes).

Hint: There’s a timing guide in the guides section of the site.


Typesetter(s)
For this season and next season and foreseeable seasons to come. Knowledge on motion tracking preferred but not required. We only do softsubs. Show us your previous works or:

http://privatepaste.com/751ae59247 <- ts those, it’s the 1st episode of TWGOK (torrent is kinda dead so you might wanna try XDCC)

Actually, don’t even bother. Nobody can pass this test. You’re welcome to try, but I haven’t seen any decent typesetter material in years.

Translator(s)
You will work on shows of collective choosing. You must be available at time of airing and gifted in both Japanese and English. A standard script is 250-400 lines and you will be expected to finish within a few hours.

Editor
To edit M+H and possibly other things. You must be a native speaker. If you’re not, your English better be damn top notch enough to fool me. Also read brainchild’s comment.

Editor recruitment closed, we’ve received enough applicants for now. (Everyone failed)

To Apply:
Leave a comment here with an email you can be contacted at. There will be multiple tests involved.

About being in Commie:
You are seriously expected to be on IRC every minute of your waking day.

      Please. If you have any interest in being a fansubber at all, you clearly don’t have a life to begin with.

    I suck.

    Please help me suck less by posting a link to where I might learn moar about motion tracking ASS.

    • Tai says:

      Pr0tip:
      You don’t motion track in ASS-related software.

      • (ノ `Д´)ノ ~┻━┻ says:

        I figured as much. I would assume you’d do some MVTools magic -> get coordinates -> hit up some batch conversion to ASS overrides or something.

        Am I on the right track here?

    My email is [email protected]

  15. shirayuki75 says:

    An editing test? I want to try.

  16. brainchild says:

    Seriously, when doing the editing test, make sure it’s something someone would actually say. Numbah wan rool: Read it aloud for derpiness.

  17. Kyhz says:

    I’d like to apply for the “Sit in my chair and watch cartoons all day” position.

  23. Roadi says:

    Hello, I would like to have a look at the editor test if possible. For now, just for fun, because I would not like to take anything seriously and then fail miserably.

  24. Aiox says:

    Yo, here to apply to Typesetter post, hit me up at [email protected]

    (that came out wrong but i don’t really care)

  25. smilingpig67 says:

    I’m from South Korea, but I’ve attended an international school for thirteen years, so I’m pretty fluent in English. I’d like to look at the editor test as well please~

  26. John says:

    hi, i am not native but i’ve been studying in an english school ever since kindergarten. Recently i also got a 90% in an Eng exam so i think i am well qualified to be an editor.

  27. Eru says:

    Hi, I’m interested in the Editor test out of curiosity – if I think I can hack it, I’ll go for it. Though, I’m not sure if real life (work; volunteering etc.) would lower my chances and availability…

  28. Transfer-kun says:

    [email protected]

    I’ll see what I can do. I’m probably going to be shit.

  29. Captain67 says:

    I have far too much free time on most days, and could lend a hand with editing.
    I’m confident in my literary skills, and use of the English language. I am a native Canadian English speaker. I also speak Bad English, Americanese, and Derpish. Send an application to [email protected] if you feel I may be suitable.

  30. Velinath says:

    If you still need an editor, I consider myself fairly proficient in English. Not sure whether you’re looking for anything more than grammar/spelling, but I can definitely do that.

    The one major drawback is that I keep myself rather busy during the day. I can keep an IRC client open, but I make no guarantees that I’ll actually be at my PC as I have classes and work for most of the week.

  31. Giggle says:

    I’m not a native speaker, but I’m a native chicken. Can I apply?

  32. MetalCap says:

    [email protected]

    I’m interested in editing if you’re still looking. I’m on IRC pretty much all of the time, just not #commie-subs, so I would have no problem making myself available.

  33. mogamigawa says:

    Blah, looks like I missed the boat on the editor recruitment, but I’d be honored if I could still be considered. I’ve got an English degree and I do some proofreading for my job, and I have so much free time that sometimes I forget I’m not a NEET. Hit me up if you think I might be able to be of assistance.

  34. Captain67 says:

    “everyone failed” – Nice. Would be cool if you could send replies so we know what we’re doing incorrectly.

  35. euric says:

    euric> oh yeah, i failed the test because you said finding the test was part of the test and i couldn’t find the test

  36. alfredcastle says:

    hello, i want apply for typesetter, i have no problems using \clip, \move, \t and the basic tags from aegis, and I’m an artist creating shapes in assdraw, the only video I have now is this;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVaV3_vCd3k

  37. Csiko says:

    I know you said editor applications are closed due to constant failure, but can you hit me up with the test regardless? I’m wildly curious.

    [email protected]

    Thanks much.

  38. Dao says:

    First off , I have no experience with ANY Typesetting but am willing to learn. Even if its just a simple video that show’s what programs to use and how to do it Im pretty sure I’ll get the hang of it. I basically already know what a TS’er does just need to get the program’s and practice and what not. Anyways, Email is –

  39. Tysonblast says:

  47. CS says:
