Hey all,

I'm beginning a journey here. It's gonna be rough and long. But I think if I pull through, I'll be very proud of myself. Most importantly, my Japanese skill will go up. That always makes me happy. "Well, Jeff, spit it out! Whatcha gonna do?!"

It's simple in words. I'm scripting/translating 24:24 minutes of a MechaIke skit. I'll be posting progress and questions in this thread as well as links to audio files of the show. Of course it would be impossible for me to do this alone, so if anyone wants to help, please reply. I really appreciate all of you helping, and of course in the end I will credit all those that edited and gave advice.

Now onto the good stuff. I'm 0:45 seconds in and already having a blast! Here's the first part of the script along with a link to the .mp3 file. I'm not sure how much bandwidth I have for you to upload from, so I'm sorry if there's nothing there. I guess you can just wait a day or so. Also, I haven't done the narrator part yet (It's a bit daunting), but if someone wants to throw their two cents in I'd be more than happy to listen.

That's one very weird looking url
us.f2.yahoofs.com/bc/404fc855_f2a8/bc/My+Documents/MechaClip1.mp3?BCDg87AB5xwYjy7t
Sure you haven't got it mixed up?
 
Bah, nothing comes up? It's supposed to link to my SBC Yahoo! briefcase. It comes up for me, but that's probably just because it's on my computer or something. I'll post when I think I got it up and running again. Sorry for the inconveniance.

I'm sorry, I'm really at a loss as to where I can host this. If anyone knows a good server please respond. Again, I am very sorry. This is not going the way I planned.

-Jeff
 
Sorry, I can't help on the hosting issue (I take it you don't have school or office webspace you can put it on), but I can wish you best of luck! I just started translating anime for fansubs myself...it's amazing how much you learn along the way (and how quickly your 聞き取り improves). I guarantee you by the end of this project you'll have learned every bit of vocabulary and grammar in the skit.

頑張れ!
 
You're still stuck?

Join a relevant Yahoo group (like Yahoo! Groups ) and put it in the files section.

People will have to (free) sign up to Yahoo + the group but at least it's better than nothing.

Otherwise get to grips with one of the many, many 'free' ad supported sites (e.g. geocities / tripod / whatever)
 
Good Idea, Paul! Thanks!

Well, I started a group. It seems like an amazing Idea too, because we can have more people from different forums or wherever people come from. Anyhow, here's the address: Yahoo! Groups

With this we can all have a tighter grip upon this project. I hope everyone who is interested joins. By the way, the file is on there. I'll even post the script there and maybe in the future the parts of the video it corresponds to.

Wow! A great amount of progress was done today! I had my friend come over and check my script out, and he corrected only about 5% of it (mostly Kansaiben "ya"s and what not). I learned a ton!! Even when I thought the "announcer" guy was just mumbling, I found he was actually saying, "Nan nan deshou ka?". After my friend pointed it out, I heard it. This is an amazing motivational point for me. We now have 5 members, but I encourage all to join -- Japanese proficiency is not an issue. I really see this project going somewhere now. Thanks to all that have helped/contributed so far.

P.S. Paul? C'mon, you're my hero on this board.

LOL! Well, I had to try one last time. I've been known to be a guy who doesn't quite give up. :)
