    HI All...

    Looking for some advice. I am working on a film studies thesis and have chosen a French director as my subject. I have a film that I need to have transcribed to help me understand it. IE: I want the dialogue of the film written out in French. My French is not good enough to get all the dialogue.

    Before you all ask, this film is not available with subtitles in any language and I have spoken to the producers who are unable to assist.

    I will pay a fair price €1 per minute to translate the film. It is 90mins long and is not very dialogue heavy. The language is also very straight forward and conversational. I would provide the film on DVD to whomever would take it on and would request the dialogue in soft copy.

    However whom ever takes this on would need to have fluent french, or better still be French as accuracy is vital. Im thinking a student. However I don't know where to start in finding such a person.

    Any help would be gratefully received.

    HRMS
