Papie: A personal story that affects us all from Philip Bloom on Vimeo. Portrait of a projectionist from Philip Bloom on Vimeo. You can see that below, as well as my latest piece to be subtitles, Portrait of a projectionist. I aim to have all my documentary work done at some point, and of course I would have translations done too…that is the next step! My personal documentary made for the charity fundraiser Movember called “Papie” has a number of foreign languages, thanks to the generosity of some friends. I now have four films that have been subtitled into English which can be viewed in my “Film subtitles” section. I have worked with Deaffest in the UK, and it was eye-opening for me, and I realised how frustrating it must be for deaf and hard of hearing filmmakers to watch my work. Of course, someone needs to write these subtitles, and for long films this takes time, but the rewards are there as it means a whole new audience can enjoy your work. Subtitles for films are really important, not just for deaf or hard of hearing people, but for any difficulty in understanding accents and of course, for foreign language films. The second is a belated look a the much improved Vimeo Pro service. The first part is about the new subtitle feature in Vimeo. There is further reading on my ethics here. If ever a product is mentioned, it will always be because I do fully recommend it and never because it is my financial interest. A true, honest and unbiased place to get my opinion. Without them this site would not be what it was. My ethics are essential to me and this site. I don’t take affiliates or ads for products I do not use, like or recommend, despite the obvious financial benefit it would bring. All my affiliates are only for companies whose products I use pretty much on every project. Each purchase of a Pro account through my banner gives me a small percentage which helps maintain this site and, along with the other site affiliates, make it just about possible to make the reviews and keep the content going alongside my real job… DP, Director, Cameraman, Filmmaker for hire! So although it is in my financial interest to promote and plug Vimeo, I would never do it if I did not completely recommend it and find it indispensable. Vimeo have had a paid banner on my site for quite some time now, but I have recently become an affiliate of them with regards to the purchase of Vimeo Pro.
