Amazon and Microsoft, I decided to focus on web development when I left corporate life to set up a small company called Mirai in 2007. Was initially consulting for companies like Disney and Columbia and then moved on to develop a web platform called Mirai Gaia.By sharing my passion for Japanese culture through the web, the company vision started to become clear which was to continue to share Japanese culture with like-minded folks across the globe through web, media and terrestrial TV.The "TV" part up until recently had just been interviews and features like the ones on CNN and BBC - never thought that TV production would be something that I would end up doing. Our first TV production is Culture Japan - the show that brings Japanese Pop Culture to the world.Final Cut Pro which I managed to get the hang of though the very late nights working on the show - I had no idea what I was letting myself in for ^^; After editing all the footage, we send the audio tracks to the folks who does whats known in the industry as "MA" or Multi Audio. They add any sound effects needed and also makes sure that narration and background music is balanced out. This process is also known as "Sei-on" [整音].At the same time, the translator is working on the English/Japanese subtitles which are then read into Final Cut Pro using XML - this then creates a sequence with all the subs placed at the correct times - we used to do this manually!Once the subs and final audio track is complete, we render the final video in full HD which ends up being about 50GB. This is then taken to a studio which records the show on tape. The tape is then taken to Tokyo MX TV for the final process called "Nouhin" [納品] which means "delivery of goods."Learned how to use tools such as Photoshop, Fireworks and Illustrator over the years which have become handy as these are used in TV production a lot too. If you are interested in working in Japan in the content creation field then do consider adding Final Cut editing skills under your belt too as there is much demand for this skill set. But don't forget that you need Japanese language ability too. There is a poll embedded in this article. There is a poll embedded in this article.
