Would someone be available to translate 15 lines of my screenplay into sign language?


Recommended Posts

I have written a script in which one of the characters is deaf and communicates via sign language. However myself nor my team are able to speak sign language and wish to do the character the utmost justice and uphold a high standard of sign language the deaf community would be pleased with if they saw it in a film.

 

This is why I am asking if anyone would be available to advise or to record a video of their hand movements which actors can use as a point of reference.

 

Thanks

Hey, ex script consultant here,

In terms of screenplays it all should be written in English with English grammar, including all of the "Spoken" lines. 

If you want the character to be authentic and genuine, give the part to a genuine deaf actor who will know the how to bring the words to life with their hands.  

I wish you all the luck in the world! and if you need and ex-script consultant on your team you know where to find me :)

    • Hi, my name is Chelsea! I have always wanted to learn sign language, but I now work as an INA in a primary school so feel I've got more of a push to finalise my course. I also work alongside teachers that are deaf, and so I think its very important that I learn. Any tips, tricks, or help would be so appreciated!
    • Hi, I’m learning BSL because I’m hearing impaired and finding it harder and harder to hear speech. Hoping that one day I can talk with others in BSL. 
    • Hello, I'm Denise. I am learning BSL because I work in a secondary school and think it would be beneficial for my role as a teaching assistant. :)
    • Hello. I am still looking. Any ideas, please? 😊
    • Hello! I'm Anna and I am currently studying BSL because one of my friends is deaf. I'm currently finishing my levle 1 BSL!
    • Hi there, I'm Charlie! 👋🙂 I'm from Scotland and am currently studying at university. I'm not Deaf or know anyone who is - however I chose to start learning BSL through british-sign.co.uk as I believe it's essential to know ... and what's the harm in making the world a little more accessible? I knew a small amount of Makaton when I was very little (although I understand it is not the same as BSL), but found it to be quite helpful growing up. I'm happy to be a part of  this community, and I hope to make friends along the way. 
    • Hi Ash and Tom, nice to meet you! I am currently doing level 1 at uni. I am currently practising for my 101 conversational exam, having delayed it from the summer due to some health issues, and have done a little for 102. I am a bit rusty, but I would love to chat if it would be of use to you. It seems like the video forums aren't used all that much, we could Zoom if you'd like that.
    • my name is ethan, i am a disabled trans person and i wanted to learn BSL as a hearing person because, if the opportunity ever arises, i'd love to be able to communicate efficiently with Deaf people. i'd also really like to do my part in making the Deaf community feel more accepted, and seeing disabled people in media and irl makes me feel incredibly seen and less alone, so why not do my part to make that a reality for Deaf people?
