Communication Street: Deaf children and communication at home

Our latest film has finally been completed! Communication Street is a film about problems Deaf young people have communicating at home, with parents, brothers and sisters. In a fun and entertaining way it looks at things such as being woken up; not being told what's going on; communicating in the car; not hearing someone calling for you; and the age old arguments over subtitles. For each problem a solution is also suggested by our Communication Street voiceover pigeon

NHS 60th Anniversary animation

One from the archives, which we dug up recently and thought it would be good to show here. This is a short animation to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the NHS made at York Hospital. Members of the public as well as NHS staff were invited to come along and fill in a square and record one word or phrase to describe their experience of the NHS. Simple but effective

Mutesounds Film Festival

The Mutesounds film festival in The Netherlands has asked to screen our Survival Tips for Deaf Teenagers film. We wish we could head over there to see it, it should be a great festival. http://www.mutesounds.nl/

Post-production begins

We're back from Manchester now and about to start work on the post-production for the latest Biomation film. It was a successful week, with lots of hard work, creativity and great ideas from the young people involved. The film will show what it's like as a Deaf young person living at home - dealing with parents, siblings and the occasional pigeon!! For the time being here are a few photos, and we'll post more once the film has been finished.
