Requests

Got a Funny Video from YouTube/Google/MySpace you want to see captioned? A movie trailer that I missed?

Go ahead, make a request – If I get the chance, I’ll go ahead and give it a shot.
Use the Comments. Jump to Comment Form

Reminder:
Sorry, at this time I can only caption, YouTube, Google Video, MySpace Video, Dailymotion, Veoh, Blip.tv and Archive.org online videos, so unless you can get the source, or have them uploaded, the best I could do would be a transcript. This means I am NOT able to caption HULU, NBC, and MTV stuff without a file.

[sources updated 8/20 to include Blip.tv and archive.org]

    HI Bill,

    I actually do not have a request – yet. I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for giving up your free time to caption these trailers. If only every one would do half of the effort that you do to serve their community, the world would be a better place. I do not know if you receive much recognition from others, but I want to ensure you that at least in my household there is a lot of appreciation for your work. I love to check your blog to catch the latest trailers!

    Keep up the good work!

    Why are you captioning movie trailers that already are captioned? Do you know of this site that has captions for movie trailers? It is a UK site but it’s mostly US movies anyway. Don’t knock yourself out captioning things that already exist. Focus on You Tube if you are bored! :-)

    Thanks

  3. Bill / Jan 21 2008 10:08 am

    Hi Amp!

    I don’t try to caption movie trailers that are already captioned – if you notice, I do make blog posts about the captioned trailers that are on http://yourlocalcinema.com, and caption the movies that do not exist there. The category list shows the two categories:
    -Captioned Movie Trailers – The ones I do
    -Captioned Movie Trailers By ITFC (which also includes IMS) – the ones I find on yourlocal cinema.

    There are some exceptions, for movies that either:
    1. Were not yet on their site when I looked (ie, I am Legend)
    2. I could not find them when I looked. (ie Atonement)
    3. Before I knew about yourlocal cinema (Shrek 3, Spiderman 3, Evan Almighty, Bee Movie)

    I am happy to promote anyone’s work that is already done! I look to see if movies that are opening, and movies that are coming out on DVD have been captioned, through google and yourlocalcinema.com, and then put them out.

    Thanks for your comment, Amp!

    Bill!! you should totally caption music videos.
    keep up the great work.
    a lot of people really appreciate what you do. :)

  5. Bill / Mar 23 2008 1:50 am

    Sunshine, I have a category for captioned videos!

    Oh, by the way, for captioned stuff I don’t choose to put on my site

    If your have children, keep the sound down, until you decide for yourself about the nature of the content – some may be PG14.

    Hello this is Shernika Holley. I just wonder can you do subtitles for this music video of Whitney Houston and CECE “Count on Me” if you have a time , thanks you again , NIKA

  8. Beth / May 4 2008 8:14 am

    Hello-

    I was wondering if you’d be willing to close caption the Indiana Jones movie that’s coming out soon. Thank you for your dedication. Its greatly appreciated. Keep practicing your signs!

  9. Bill / May 4 2008 12:48 pm

    Here’s a teaser trailer:
    http://billcreswell.wordpress.com/?s=indiana

    I went to http://www.yourlocalcinema.com because they have other captioned trailers – they used mine! That’s so cool!

    I just saw a new trailer for it the other day, when I saw my new favority movie IronMan.

    I’ll see if I can find that and get it captioned. I have been a little behind, due to some neck/shoulder issues last week.

  12. Bill / May 8 2008 10:28 am

    Hi Jane!

    That video is 59 minutes, which amounts to about 20 hours captioning. Have you inquired already of the producers whether there is a transcript available?

    I am not unwilling, but that is an extended project, given my limited spare time.

  13. Jane / May 8 2008 1:06 pm

    Great! I totally understand about the time issue- I’ve sent emails to Google and Mike Pollan asking for transcripts and hopefully will hear from them. Thanks for the suggestion!

  14. Troels Madsen / May 13 2008 6:04 pm

    Hi!

    It’s a fanatics homepage with captioning movies!
    I request captioning on the trailer to “Sweet nothing in my ears” if it’s possible?

    Thanks!

  15. Troels Madsen / May 14 2008 3:00 pm

    Great! I didn’t saw it… Thanks again!

  16. funnyoldlife / May 30 2008 10:10 pm

    Hi Bill, I saw this and wondered if it’s of any interest? It’s so ironic… about deafness but no subtitles.

    Hey, can you caption this Monty Python skit, “Four Yorkshiremen”? It was the inspiration for the deaf skit “Four Deaf Yorkshiremen”. Thanks.

  18. Bill / Jun 10 2008 10:11 am

    I love that sketch! I grew up in a pot of boiling water, and every day my dad would make me get up before I went to bed, and stoke the fire with my bare hands! Here it is:

  19. SJSAMPHEX / Jul 12 2008 9:46 pm

    Hey Bill, can you try captioning some of the internet’s viral videos?
    I’m talking about videos like “leave britney alone” or the landlord video.

  20. Bill / Jul 12 2008 11:29 pm


    Here’s the “Leave Britney Alone” Video:

    The Landlord videos have been pulled from youtube, so I don’t know of a legal way to caption it. If you see a video on VEOH, YouTube, or MySpace, I can caption it.

  21. Andy / Jul 17 2008 12:30 pm

    Do the Dark Knight Trailer please!!!! :) :)

    Love you for your hard work for us!!

    Hi Bill,

    I got two youtube video with captoned with PLY for free (up to 5k only). my plm is that they only caption up to 5 min show.

    Wonder if you will be willing to caption “ALICE Experiment, Large Hadron Collier, LHC” 8 min video?
    Here’s the link and let me know if u can.

    MILLION Thanks for your willing to help Deaf community!

  29. Bill / Sep 15 2008 10:04 am

    “Here’s One”, I captioned the trailer for that MTV series, http://billcreswell.wordpress.com/2008/08/25/mtv-true-life-im-deaf-captioned-trailer/ because it was available on YouTube.

    There are 6 episodes, only available on MTV.com, and the only way I could caption them is to illegally download and host them. If anybody’s a lawyer, it could be fun, but I don’t have the resources myself to fight ViaCom.

    So far, only one person has complained in their comments about the lack of closed captions. Please add yours. http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?id=1590956&vid=256171

    Hi Bill,
    I really, really want to see the Palin interview by Katie Couric in captions. There are several segments. These aren’t funny of course, but it bothers me they aren’t captioned cuz they’re important.

    Thanks,
    Kim

  32. Ecnarb / Sep 29 2008 7:11 am

    Good afternoon,

    I just got an email from Dan who was offended by this video and also with many Deaf people. They flagged it but it was not removed.
    They wanted to know what they were talking about.

    I encouraged them to email or write a letter to YouTube and NAD about this video
    Here’s the link

    Thanks,
    Brance

  33. Bill / Sep 30 2008 10:15 am

    I removed the link above, because I don’t want to give the video more views.

  34. Aidan Mack / Oct 1 2008 11:57 am

    Hi Bill,

    I tried to find your e mail address but I couldn’t find it. I would like to talk to you about if you are interested in subtitling my upcoming movie. Please contact me at Deaffilmmaker@gmail.com.

    You may enjoy this funny video!

    Can you subtitle for me and others?

    Many thank for your service!

    Thanks,

  43. Rosaline Crawford / Oct 12 2008 7:42 pm

    Any chance you could caption the video at http://tinyurl.com/SeniorDTV?

    This video clip about converter boxes needed for old (analog) TVs to continue working after February 19, 2009, is really funny.

    Closed captioning for digital television transmissions is not the only problem.

  44. brian morace / Oct 16 2008 5:13 am

    Hi
    I have one question… curious about your work with subtitle on video or film and was wondering how quick you can input subtitle in 5 minutes worth of content?
    Thanks

  45. Justin / Oct 17 2008 10:27 pm

    Hello Bill,

    You are doing a great job here! A friend of my sent this link to me, a short message about fire safety,and could you caption this?

  46. bill / Oct 19 2008 2:36 am

    Ecnarb, just a reminder – I am not able to caption Hulu and NBC stuff.
    Youtube pulls this stuff immediately. I can do a transcript, or if someone can provide the video clip in one of the formats above, or in wmv or similar format, I can caption it.

    Update: I think a transcript wouldn’t work very well for this video.

  47. Rachel / Oct 21 2008 12:20 am

    can you caption this trailer pretty please????

  49. moxiemocha / Oct 25 2008 3:01 pm

    I just read your requirements and I realize that you cannot caption SNL, because it’s on NBC. Can you tell me if there is a way to get these SNL videos captioned?

    Here’s the video I’m talking about. http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/10/mccain-palin-08.html

    Let me know what I need to do.

    Thanks for all you do,

    Beth

  50. Bill / Oct 25 2008 3:38 pm

    It would probably cost about $70 for total recorder + video, to record the video from nbc site, and then I would have to upload it illegally.

    I could start a donation fund for legal defense…..

    I am trying to work with tubecaption or overstream to add that capability, or find somebody 3rd party to create an app that would play captions along side it, but no luck so far.

  51. Darren Frazier / Nov 2 2008 9:01 am

    Hello Bill:

    Huge favor to ask… can you put captions in this MSNBC video about a prank call to Gov. Sarah Palin? I’ve got to see this. Thanks!

    Thanks!

  54. Ecnarb / Nov 12 2008 6:29 am

    Oh man. I got it from my friend. I was planning to post it in my blog. Por favor to caption this a very powerful message (that’s what he say to me).

    Thanks!

  55. Ecnarb / Nov 12 2008 6:30 am

    Oops!

  56. Jane / Nov 13 2008 5:57 pm

    Awesome! Thanks. Could you do another Pixar one? It’s a little longer so if it’s too much hassle, no problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoTT4WBZ-30&fmt=18

  57. Bill / Nov 14 2008 2:55 am

    Sorry, Jane, Pixar had that video removed.

    Hello Bill!

    First of all, I want to thank you very much for posting closed captioned movie trailers. Now, I would like to ask you to add closed captioning into the new Star Trek movie trailer which is released a few weeks ago. It is now available at http://www.startrekmovie.com and youtube.

    Thanks! :)

  63. Deaf Trekkie / Dec 3 2008 9:43 pm

    Thanks!

  64. Bill / Dec 28 2008 2:22 am

    Drew, I haven’t ignored you, but that video is difficult for me to listen to – vulgar, and his voice is annoying, but I’ll try to see if I can get past that.

  65. Drew / Dec 28 2008 6:59 pm

    i’m sorry, i didnt know what the video was about. my sister just said it was funny and i was curious. you don’t have to waste time captioning it.

    This is a clip from the comedian/ventriloquist, Jeff Dunham. He has a segment about what happend when a group of deaf people came to his show in Washington DC. It was his first experience with an ASL interpreter at his performance, and things got silly.

    Thanks!

  69. Anthony / Jan 14 2009 2:30 am

    Hi Bill, I work for http://www.ecodeaf.blogspot.com website. Raychelle Harris told me that you would volunteer to subtitle/caption videos and trailers.

    The video on the website address that I provided above is what I would like to be captioned for EcoDeaf.

    See this specific page on EcoDeaf at

  71. Catherine / Jan 21 2009 6:43 am

    Hi,

    I was wondering if you could caption the whole president obama’s inauguration (swearing in and speech part). My friend is upset that she missed the whole thing and I was searching high and low on the internet for this kind of video but I came across your site and I thought you might be able to help out?

    If you could do this- that would be appreciated. I’m sure there’s lot of deaf people out there has missed the whole thing as well too! :-)

  76. raychelle / Feb 2 2009 1:35 pm

    Hi Bill,
    I would like to post two very helpful YouTube videos on hearing tests to my blog but unfortunately they are not captioned. It doesn’t feel right to me to post them as they are now as the majority of my readers have a hearing loss. I was wondering if you would consider captioning them.
    Here are the links:

    Hey Bill;

    Group of excellent videos at http://www.youtube.com/user/PlayingForChange. I know the words to some of the songs (Stand By Me for example) but obviously, they’re riffing and changing the lyrics as they go. Can you caption them? Thanks!

  88. Bill / Apr 30 2009 1:24 am

    There are a lot of videos there.
    I have submitted this one

    Yes, I have a problem with Internet Explorer and writerep.
    I have found that if I open the witerep link in a minimized window, then it will load. Then you can maximize it and everything is ok, except/unless you refresh the page.

  98. Mich / Jul 16 2009 8:08 pm

    Bill,

    Hello Bill -

    Hope you are having a good summer! Our “I’m Hilari Scarl” Spartacus Spoof that you captioned became corrupt and I had to repost it so your old link doesn’t work.

    Can you please re-caption/re-link to the new youtube of the same video so we can add the link to our “See What I’m Saying” website?

    Thank you so much, and keep up the good work!

    Hilari Scarl

    I would love to see “Sweet talking Guy” with subtitles or captions.
    Also, thank you for the work you do so people like myself can enjoy the
    things we used too. It’s blessing to me.

  105. Bill / Sep 1 2009 12:29 am

    Can you caption the trailer for “Labor Pains” with Lindsay Lohan?

  107. Frank "Subtitleman" / Sep 2 2009 7:54 pm

    Wow, someone else is also doing this. Wonderful, and bless you.

    I have been learning to subtitle many songs I heard growing up BUT never could figure out all the words. So, as “Subtitleman” I have been learning to make subtitled videos for three years with Windows Movie Maker 2. I prefer the permanent subtitles so someone can download them and view any time at home.

    I am severely Hard of Hearing, really Deaf.

    Anyway blessings again to you.

  108. Kucha / Sep 4 2009 1:46 pm

    2 things, the first. I am beginning a series on disability studies and all things disability on my site, and was wondering the best way to caption a youtube video, the first video is on the site but is not captioned? the video can be found at manyworldsnetwork’s youtube page. IT’s called Professor Alex Lubet Play Disability Studies Vol. 1.
    2. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to join the manyworldsnetwork community, its free of charge, you can blog at your leisure and link to your site and network with other people who have a stakehold in disability. thank you,

  186. Amy / Sep 8 2010 11:52 pm

    Hi, I just saw your web site in passing and I think it’s great that you caption the trailers for the hearing impaired. I work (for fun) with a translation group that does movie trailers. We (mostly me, for now) caption the trailers in English first, then translate them. I noticed some of the titles we did are not in here. Would you like a copy of the subtitle files? Because it’s really no additional work from me, I just need to give you a copy of the English files I already created. I’m not here to advertise or anything (and there won’t be any in the subtitle files of course), just thought I could be of help. Let me know!

    • pCk / Sep 11 2010 10:20 am

      That’s a long one, but I’ll do it – if you put post on comment on their video requesting captions. We want YT Creators to start captioning their own videos – They benefit from it!

      • Mark vandevelde / Jan 16 2011 9:43 am

        I have been trying to request for caption since the first day it was posted on yt but nothing… But THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!! U have no idea how appreciate i am

        It’s started – probably done tonight.

      • Bill / Jan 23 2011 7:03 pm

        Sent to the email address you submitted. I probably won’t keep it for long, since they couldn’t do it without using “language”.

  205. Michael Lockrey / Apr 25 2011 6:51 am

    Hi Bill.

    I don’t know if this needs to be captioned (or not), as there is quite a bit of dialogue being “captioned” (or shown on the screen might be the appropriate term).

    Can you give it a quick look and let me know?

    Here’s the link:

    Cheers for now,
    Mike Lockrey

    Please caption the new Immortals trailer.

    Thanks!

    • Bill / Apr 27 2011 6:28 pm

      You may have noticed a delay in some captioning – I usually wait until a non-apple branded trailer comes out.

      • pCk / May 1 2011 2:17 am

        I see. Actually I need 1 sentence from this trailer. Mickey Rourke says: “The Gods may be on your side, but … has just begun”. I can’t understand what he says there.

    It sounds like “your feign has just begun”, but that doesn’t seem to make sense. I chose fight as the closest word I could, but not convinced that it’s right.

    Hi, Bill!

    I try to put some caps on this trailer but the actors talk with a huge accent:

    Please, take a look and caption when you have time.

  209. Getro Guimaraes / May 11 2011 10:52 pm

    Thanks, Bill!

  210. Getro Guimaraes / Jun 25 2011 11:38 am

    Hi again, Bill! Please caption this awesome trailer “Brother’s Justice” when you had time:

  211. frank / Oct 1 2011 10:15 pm

    Very nice work. I was wondering if you know of
    any sites where I could download movie trailers
    with subtitles or srt files? I’d like to use them in
    my classes.

    Hi Bill. Hilari Scari recommended that I contact you about captioning for a video that I already have on YouTube. I’m a deaf musician and you can view the video by typing “Ernest-Deaf Bassist” in the search slot and watch the video. I hope you can because I”d like for more deaf viewers to enjoy the song. I also have a few more videos of my music on DVD but have no idea how to upload to YouTube. Any help in that area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    • Bill / Oct 24 2011 8:12 pm

      Sure! You didn’t include a link, however…

  213. ThingOne / Nov 25 2011 9:14 pm

    Hi Bill, thanks for all you do!

    I’m a new owner of a Roku 2 device that I use for Netflix and Huluplus captioned video.

    I’ve noticed that Roku 2 has a lot of free channels for special interest groups (but not deaf user groups). I’m wondering if there are technophiles that have an interest in setting up a Deaf Friendly Roku 2 channel for other deaf Roku 2 users to enjoy. I have no idea what might be involved or if one might be in the works from the captioning blogroll you feature here.

    Just asking. Thanks for reading. I have a post at
    http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=45399&start=0

    Thanks!
