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 :)

    • Welcome to the forum, Jason! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • Hi, I'm Jason and I'm a student at uni : I'm learning BSL so I can communicate with and understand the deaf community more! I'm hoping to get a really good knowledge of BSL while I'm here.
    • Welcome to the forum! It's great that you've decided to learn BSL! How long have you been learning for up to now?
    • My interest came from BSL module in uni (student paramedic) and I wanted to build on my knowledge so that I would be able to communicate with patients in the future. I also love chatting to strangers and I want to be able to do that with people who sign to!! 
    • I work in commercial aviation as Senior Cabin Crew.   I wanted to learn Sign Language as we carry an increasing number of persons who identify as deaf, and I think it is an invaluable skill to have from a communication point of view. Although we have ASL and BSL capabilities via electronic QR codes on board, the ability to provide that personal and human interaction is equally important. 
    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
