Yes, it’s another staff recruitment post, but this one really needs attention. We need a timer!
As you know, Flomp has fallen quite a long way behind in its subbing of Bleach. There have been a few reasons for this, but a large one has been the availability of timers. We’ve had 4 different timers since the beginning of the year. The two-month delay after episode 192 was because we had no timer at all for weeks, and we’ve been slowed down many other times by timers not delivering work when it’s needed. And now, once again, we find ourselves without a dedicated timer at all. It’s amazing that we’re still functioning. We’re a small group that gets very little outside help.
These delays cut down Flomp’s audience substantially (while many people are looking for an HD/HQ sub, just as many aren’t prepared to wait, especially not weeks or months), so a reliable timer joining us would really be appreciated, and would help make Flomp faster and more relevant.
What we really want is a timer that can deliver work every (non-filler) week when needed and not slow things up, but right this moment we’re struggling on the 7 episodes ahead of us. We actually have amateur timing for all of these already, but it needs fixing up. If anyone can even help us out with those 7 it’d be appreciated.
Also, the 3rd Bleach movie (Fade to Black) is coming out in a few weeks. Apparently it’s the best one so far. If you’d like a high-quality sub of that within a reasonable timeframe, then again, we will need a timer.
Please message an OP on IRC in #flomp-fansubs[rizon] or email pstatic@gmail.com (put “flomp” in the subject so I know what it’s about) if you think you can help. If we don’t find anyone suitable, things will unfortunately continue to move very slowly, and there are no guarantees on how long we will be able to keep this up, particularly once the arc restarts after fillers.
We’re not doing an HD release yet at this point, because we only have an SD raw to work with – when there’s a Blu-Ray release of the movie or something, we’ll do an HD release. (Status update 11/06: release tomorrow!
