This Day Must End: Episode 2 is out.

Hey all,
I'm cross-posting this on a few of my groups. Naughty, I know, but since this has to do with gays, athiesm and Toronto, I thought it'd be okay. Plus it's fun. And everyone likes fun.

Anyway, I have a comedy webseries that just released its second episode which has a rather a lot to do with religion.

Set 10 years after a cataclysmic event has killed 75% of the world's population, three friends struggle to get by working in the world's now most-successful company: A grief counseling agency.

In episode 2, Lupe has decided that a more spiritual approach to her grief counseling calls would allow her to log more calls in the company, so she embarks on a quest to find the religion that suits her best.

Anyway, you can check it out at http://www.thisdaymustend.com or go directly to episode 2: http://www.youtube.com/user/ThisDayMustEnd#p/a/u/1/5_ewoseF3xU

But I can only assume you'd want to start with episode one, right?

So any feedback - positive and negative - let me know!

Here's my -- sorry, it's gonna be negative! -- feedback.

I looked at your link, and as far as I am able to determine, after the opening moments when some words do appear on the YouTube video, neither episode appears to be captioned (either open or closed) or subtitled.

YouTube recently rolled out (in early December 2009) a way for live on-the-fly captioning to occur, but I don't see this occurring either. In YouTube on-the-fly captioning (I don't know the formal name of the process yet), you provide the transcript text, and a computer program automatically pastes the captions in the correct places in the video for you. If you're one of the producers, for your episodes on YouTube, can you fix this or set it up, please, and then going forward, make sure this can take place with all future episodes too?

Being deaf myself, I'd really appreciate anything you can do to help me access what you've created, and please let me know if and when this is ever successfully set up. Deaf and hard of hearing folks everywhere will thank you! :-)

My composer actually has a rather keen interest in closed-captioning, I shall definitely ask him. It would be great, but my only constraint is time. I'm the editor/director/VFX guy/sound guy

But I'm guessing that a program like that would fairly easy to use, and with the script at hand you could easily copy+paste the script.

Thanks for replying!
