"Timing is a huge issue in captioning. TV shows, movies, and even most online videos all try to be accessible, but often reveal information too early or too late relative to what is actually going on in the content. This renders the captions far less useful than they should be for individuals relying on the captions to enjoy the videos.

For this project, I tried to time my captions to line up exactly with what was being said, while presenting them in a manner that contributed to the spirit of the source material. While this visual style of captioning obviously would not lend itself to all video content, I believe that this method of timing would be beneficial to captioning of any medium."
