Biography
Glovision is a media localization, dubbing, subtitling, and anime sound production studio in located in Tokyo, Japan.

As a company that has grown with the progress of Japanese dubbing, Glovision has put many "movie stars fluent in Japanese" out into the world. But dubbing is a lot more than just replacing a foreign language with Japanese. It is a highly creative work that requires a special touch as much as it took to create the original work. Just as a Western dish prepared with Japanese flavors to make it edible with chopsticks, so movies are dubbed to fit the Japanese taste without ruining the original work. This delicate touch requires a skill and technique that cannot be explained academically or quantified with computers. This is Glovision's know-how in creating a Japanese-dubbed video.

Glovision has introduced state-of-the-art equipment to reduce production time dramatically and streamline our subtitle production. Although they have leading edge equipment, a good subtitle cannot be made with equipment alone. It requires elaborate creativity. First, the translation has to be of the highest quality. The ratio between the original speed of speech and the time to read the subs is 3 to 1, so it must include 100% of the meaning in 1/3 of the length. The timing for displaying and ending each sub is also crucial. They cannot be too early or late, and must match the original line. This delicate timing is very important in creating subtitled videos. Both the translation and the display timing (spotting) are realized through the skill and keen sense of their experienced people. The very spirit of their movie-loving staff is displayed in the translation, meticulous proofing, spotting, and fonts of the subtitles.
