1. Fan art the original social media

2. Fansubs
 A fansub (short for fan-subtitled) is a version of a foreign film
or foreign television program which has been translated by
fans and subtitled into a language other than that of the
original
 Because distribution of fan-subtitled content is a violation of
copyright laws in most countries, the ethical implications of
producing, distributing, or watching fansubs are topics of
much controversy

3. The process of fansubbing
 1: Raw
 The process begins with getting a “raw”, the recorded video
file of the anime. Someone in Japan records the anime and
shares it on the internet. The raw is usually shared on
Japanese peer-to-peer programs
 2: Translation
 The translation process sometimes begins before the
fansubbing team gets the raw as more animation studios use
web streaming to broadcast anime which translators can use.

4. The process of fansubbing
 3: Translation Checking
 Another translator checks the translation and fixes errors.
 4: Editing
 The editor(s) fix grammar and spelling errors in the script
while trying to make the lines easy to follow without
sacrificing any information.
 Some editors dramatically simplify the translation to make it
“flow” better. People might even think they’re good but they
will just introduce translating errors or missing information
that way.

5. The process of fansubbing
 5: Timing
 The process of making the subtitles appear at the same time
the person talks.
 Keep in mind that the editor just read the script. She didn’t
listen to the sound and might have missed some errors she
would’ve otherwise caught if watched the episode too.

6. The process of fansubbing
 6: Script Quality Check / Typesetting
 The quality checkers watch the subtitles together with the
raws, noting down errors. These error reports are sent to the
editor and timer, who fixes the errors. At the same time, the
typesetter translates any Japanese signs in the video and
adds the English translation next to it.

7. The process of fansubbing
 7: Release Candidates (RC)
 The video encoder takes all the scripts, fonts and the video
itself and encodes it. The encoder will apply filters to the
video in order to reach maximum quality for a certain file size.
 8: RC quality check
 Once the first release candidate is uploaded by the encoder,
the quality checkers once again check not just the script, but
the encoding, typesetting, karaoke and other stuff as well.

8. The process of fansubbing
 9: Apply Reports
 Any errors found will be checked and corrected. Steps eight
and nine will repeat till no major errors are found.
 10: Release
 Jama: “Once all the QCers are good with it, the episode can
be released!”

9. Fansubs and copyright
 As you can imagine big business does not like fansubs

10. Fansubs and copyright
 fansubbing is illegal as it constitutes copyright infringement.
However, fansubbers have traditionally held themselves to a
common code of ethics and do not commonly see
themselves as pirates.
 Because fansubs are made for fans, by fans, and not usually
for commercial purposes, many fans believe that fansubs
should never be sold for a profit.

11. Fan Art
 Fan art is artwork that is based on a character, costume,
item, or story that was created by someone other than the
artist. The term, while it can apply to art done by fans of
characters from books, is usually used to refer to art derived
from visual media such as comics, movies or video games. In
addition to traditional paintings and drawings, fan artists may
also create web banners, avatars, or web-based animations,
as well as photo collages, posters, and artistic representation
of movie/show/book quotes.
