CCAC Invites Videos for “How Captions Capture Life for Me”
July 19, 2014 Comments Off on CCAC Invites Videos for “How Captions Capture Life for Me”
New CCAC Captioning Advocacy Idea from our members – let’s see how this develops, it’s a good one!
Here’s the idea – we invite you to send us a short Video (up to 2 minutes maximum or shorter) about how Captioning helps you – in a very specific situation – a very detailed way.
How are you going to speak about this – or illustrate it? You can make the video of yourself telling about it – or use a friend – or a catchy short series of photos – cartoons – whatever!
The video must have quality captioning too – if you need help with that, just ask the CCAC.
Your own specific situation might be for media of any kind (videos, movies, other media? games or apps or TV or web series, or ?)…OR..
…it might be for telephone calls, job-hunting, teaching, church, any live events (meetings, conferences, social life, webinars, school, work, or ?).
Put on your thinking caps now! We are looking for 12 – TWELVE – of these short videos. At the end of 12 months, there will be a prize for the best – we’ll take votes :-).
Ask us questions now, tell us your ideas, get that webcamera going and look smart :-).
Ready, camera, action!
(Not sure what to call these videos yet – any suggestions? For now, we’re calling it “Captions Capture Life for Me” – but maybe there’s a better name for this project…tell us!

How Totally Wonderful that TIME has added Quality Captioning for these political ads! Thank you TIME! Tell the candidates that their ads on their own webpages have no access! No quality cc for millions of voters. We invite your interest in this non-partisan campaign called “Captions Capture the Votes!” – Read more here: http://ccacaptioning.org/captions-capture-the-votes/
(Candidate in ME – only this one is cc’d of course since only Signing is used – by the way, 99% of deaf/deafeend/hoh do not use sign language – we use captioning, the world’s language.)

Life is full of ups and downs. Bravo for this new video from ‘youth” in Europe. Quality captioning included, our language (for deaf and hard of hearing) and a global communication feature!
Karina is a CCAC member too. She was the Educational Adviser and trainer for this study session on behalf of the Council of Europe.
There was a participant from Armenia who needed RTC and that was provided (aka CART/STTR).

Saying a special “well done” to the professional live captioning provider (Darlene) and the University of Washington for the support they are giving to a student who is studying abroad (in London) this semester. How great to have communication access needed for class, theater, and walking tours!
Does your student need captioning? Ask for it.
Do you want some encouragement or more information?
