For me, laser subtitling is not what I can see everyday. I found it quite interesting. The film that you normally see in the cinema usually being sent to this subtitle company for etching process, meaning using laser to etch the subtitle on the film before being screen in cinema.
It may seems like an editing suite. But this machine is for keying in the timecode where you want the subtitle to appear. Luckily Ah Sai film is just 10 minutes. Getting all those in-point and out-point for every line of subtitles for normal feature film is insane!
This is where the etching process begin, I guess the green light is the laser beam. And the projection on the wall is what you get from etching machine. After this process the film will be clean and dry up in another machine.
Close up of the laser beam. If it is a 2 hours feature film, it will take at least 10 hours for etching. Yeah.. It works frame by frame!

Very nice description of laser subtitling work flow.
Dubbing/Subtitling are integral part of cultural transfer between all countries.
Though the debate is always between preference of dubbing or subtitling each of it requires high level of artistic/technical input to ensure the final output is more local in every sense.
Dubbing brings more life to characters of a film than subtitles though a bad dubbed film can be a nightmare to watch.
Most Scandivian countries prefer subtitling over dubbing but now it is most preferred also for Deaf community.Same language subtitling(SLS) is one of essential way to educate people.
