Want to help?  Spanish translation needed!

We need to translate some new footage from community member interviews, and we’d love for the right person/people to help!  What you’d need:  a computer with a mic and audio recording software (e.g., mac with quicktime), excellent Spanish, and a desire to pitch in.

The project will involve getting copies of interview footage (for example, an hour long interview with a farmer that hasn’t been translated yet), and recording voiceover translations (your voice) in 5-10 minute chunks, then delivering the files.  The work can be performed at the G Project office, or on your own, whichever is easiest for you. We will provide an external hard drive for file delivery and return. We will use your voiceovers to help edit, and later replace with subtitles.

In general, written transcriptions are not required at this time, so for someone with very good Spanish, the project could be fairly straightforward.  Estimated minimum time commitment is 5 hours, with more available if desired.  The project will be ongoing through March and April, 2012, as we work with more new footage.

Please contact jt@gprojectfilm.org if you’re interested.  Thank you!  And, as always, please also spread the word through our website (http://www.gprojectfilm.org/) and facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/gprojectfilm) to all those individuals and organizations (http://www.gprojectfilm.org/allies/) you feel would be interested in being involved with the project. Go team!
