  • What is my job description? (Title)

    Posted by Max Christensen on August 3, 2009 at 2:33 pm

    Hahah! Here’s a funny one >

    I work at a company where i create visual effects for video and film text, in the terms of translating the episode titles to local languge. I do both end-credits, opening titles, and animate logos in motion, after processing them in photoshop to local languge.

    WHAT THE HELL AM I??

    We’ve been talking about how to mention me in the end-credits of the stuff i’m in on, and that’s only fair. But we’ve been laughing about my job description. VFX-graphics designer?

    We just have no idea?!

    What’s more important than “what” you are is “how good” your are, and assuming you are very good, your title should be something like “King of the Universe.”

    Moral: No matter what you do, be the best at it. You will never need a job.

    Seriously, see how “Video production specialist” flies.

    Have a wonderful day.

    In terms of the translation, that is called Localization. Combine that with what the other guys said to create your impressive title, ie King of the Localization Universe…
