(Unseen?) Japanese TV doc on Empire Effects

I thought I'd seen everything, but I hadn't seen this one before, though it's been on YouTube for almost a year. I'd love to see a fan effort to subtitle it.

It looks like it might've been filmed during post, as all the models are done, and the guys seem to be 'acting' their trying to figure out the shots; yet there is almost no footage from Empire in there at all.

Here's a past discussion of this program:

On getting things subtitled, an online open solution is:

Link to the video and start adding.  How you get others to contribute is something I haven't figured out yet.  We've had one or two forum members who are deaf and would love to see things subtitled, and maybe if we start doing the english parts someone might take up the japanese.

Hi Guys

 

First time poster, long time lurker.

I made some quick and dirty subtitles to part 3 of the ESB video using the universal subtitles site that none recommended. See link below.

I didn't have time to do subs for the commercials at the beginning or the talk show host banter at the end.

To tell the truth, there's not much there in terms of content. It's really just the narrator summarizing (not so much translating) what Richard Edlund says in English. But, hey, for posterity.
