Top Tips film used as part of an e-learning course for The Royal College of Psychiatrists

"A clip from Top Tips has been included in the CPD Online module “Mental health and deafness” as the animation offers a light-hearted approach to communication strategies for communicating with deaf children and was designed by the young people themselves. It brings to light some of the barriers that they face daily and offers simple remedies to address these."
Nicoletta Gentili, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

and Dr A Holwell National Deaf CAMHS The Royal College of Psychiatrists

3rd Deaf Communication Film

We are just beginning post-production on our latest animation for Lime Trees, about Deaf young people's experiences of using medical services. We had a very successful week at Leeds Society for Deaf and Blind People, working with a group of Deaf young people to come up with ideas for the film, then script, voice and animate it. As part of the film we need to create an animated fish - these are some shots of the work in progress. More to follow soon...
