Loc'd Ones Episode 1: Scott McCarthy, VP at DreamWorks
Max and Bill from Subtle sit down with Scott McCarthy, VP at DreamWorks. We promised him no hot sauce, but Bill brought spicy memes instead. We dive into bringing Shrek to Māori audiences, the Subtitling vs. Dubbing wars, SDH, filmmakers' involvement, and the actual reality of AI in localization. Plus, Scott gives us the fascinating backstory on the EGA Awards controversy and how a "huge oversight" turned into a mission to get translators the credit they deserve.
