Creating localized graphics for features and trailers. Without giving away the secret sauce, when a trailer or feature goes to a territory like Latin America or Taiwan, they may order the trailer with graphics in their language. When they do, we recreate that text in two ways:1. Artwork - We make the translated text look like the original text.2. Animation - We make the translated text move like the original text. Creating territory-specific censorship edits.Working with territory and client to creatively blur or composite scenes for territory approval.
