Logging and Captioning

My past few days at Discovering Alabama have been spent logging more footage and captioning a few shows old shows that are going to be re-aired. The captioning process is an interesting challenge. It can be difficult to fit all of the text into short periods of time when speakers are talking quickly, and some episodes have music or background sounds that have to be captioned along with the speakers. Multiple speakers off-camera are also an issue because of the need to identify who is speaking, especially when an off-camera narrator is speaking over footage of other people who are talking.
