Subject: [Ogg a11y] sign language speaker anybody?

Hi all,

I am trying to put together a full set of accessibility data for experimentation.

I have plenty of subtitles and captions, have some song lyrics, karaoke and other text-based data.
I even have a textual audio description and linguistic markup.

I will prepare a audio description as a voice recording for the "Elephants Dream" movie based on my textual audio description.

However, I have no competency in speaking sign language and thus cannot record a video with somebody signing the spoken content of the "Elephants Dream" video.


      Is there anybody here that can give me a hand and do this for me?

What I need is a video that has exactly the same duration as the original video. The sign video which contains a recording of a sign speaker of basically the following text: http://www.annodex.net/~silvia/itext/elephants_dream/elephant.english.srt . This should of course be temporally aligned as much as possible with the original video, which you can see at http://www.annodex.net/~silvia/itext/ .

I would require a open license on the video - something like a CC-BY or CC-BY-SA so I can republish it on the Web and include it into Ogg videos for demos etc.

The idea here is to create a multitrack video that contains not just the original audio and video track, but also a sign language track, a audio annotation track, and a diverse set of annotation tracks. This will be used to implement video a11y support demos.


If there anyone here fluent in sign, I would really appreciate your help!

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Silvia.
