RUSSIAN PROJECT IN THE CAN

Whenever you undertake a filming project, and all the scenes have finally been shot, you simply say, "The film is in the can." How blessed of God we are to report 1,326 lines of Russian language, recorded in Almaty, Kazakhstan, are now "in the can". Actually, it would be more correct to tell you they now exist on 17 digital disks. We give God all the praise and the glory for this wonderful success with a huge debt of gratitude and thanks to our team at CNL Russian Television in Almaty.

“Project Coordinator, Vladimir Mikhailenko”

Project Coordinator, Vladimir Mikhailenko, did a masterful job of organizing all aspects of our 5-week adventure in Almaty. We call it an adventure, because in many ways it truly is. We have learned from experience you never know what to expect from one day to another. We proceed literally trusting God for His day to day provision. The primary provision, of course, is the daily individuals needed in front of our microphone to one by one complete lines of dialogue for their respective assigned characters. Most of this process was organized by Roxanne, the Project Supervisor. It will be her responsibility in the future as well to develop additional Russian language recordings of many other of our Ken Anderson Films. Even though Roxanne speaks not one word of English, she very capably executed her responsibilities with a diligence not unlike that of a Drill Sargent. Everyone pretty well came to our microphone promptly when she called.

“Voice Choir at Work. Roxanne Is 3rd from the left next to Man in White Jacket.”

Because Roxanne had no English, we daily worked with a cadre of English language translators. It wasn’t unusual to revolve through as many as 3 a day. With such a variety of helpers, we were totally dependent upon the Holy Spirit to refine their individual strengths or weaknesses to bring about the very best quality Russian language recording possible. Yes, we always do depend upon the Holy Spirit, and we always depend upon the prayers of God’s faithful saints to encourage the Holy Spirit throughout these adventures. It never fails to amaze us how God will not allow us to record a line to everyone’s satisfaction until we have discovered that one issue, be it language translation or style of speech, be it accents or intonation, that must be just so, as we discover, to correctly reflect the intention of the original English.

A Malagasy Lip Sync Dubbing Recording Project just must be of the Lord. It certainly was not our long-term or short-term plan to include Madagascar in these types of development. Yes, we had actually produced 2 original films for this country many years ago. Could there possibly be a need for additional media development on this island of 8 million people?
 

"The Team in Madagascar"

It would be difficult to chronicle the journey through which Projects come to be selected.  Most actually have a reasonable process.  Some, like Madagascar, following a long period of prayer and question, emerge in very short order.  So often over the years, we have seen God=s clear hand direct us from one site to another.  This couldn't have been more evident as we proceeded from the Philippines to Vietnam to Cambodia.  The Russian language in Almaty, Kazakhstan has a great story.  Many Projects come through a logical geographic evaluation, but then there is Madagascar.  You just can=t get there from just about anywhere.
