Neil deGrasse Tyson - God of the gaps [Russian voiceover]

I have long been interested in the talks of various scientists who popularize science, and I often observe that translation is a big problem. At best — there are subtitles. At worst — only the original. For those who know English well, no problem. But for those who are unable to understand speech “on the fly”, it is a big problem. And subtitles are by no means always a solution — you cannot leave a video running and go about your business. Today I came across one such video, available only with subtitles, and I wanted to voice it over. There was no time to put it off — otherwise, amid other matters, the idea would have been forgotten and the enthusiasm would have faded. I had to secure myself a sleepless night. And here is the result.

The voiceover took roughly four times longer than the video itself runs. And that is excluding the video preparation, timing adjustments, editing and rendering. Useful experience. During the recording I already optimized the process several times and started working faster. Is it worth trying to voice over other videos? P.S. As for the oddities and the stumbling speech — in my defense I will say that the subtitles I took as the basis are rather sloppy in places. Where it was utterly unbearable, I fixed them. Where it was tolerable, I read them as they were. After all, there was not that much time.
