Foundation for the Deaf: Lip Reading

24 07 2008

Posted in Direto Do Forno blog and translated from Portuguese:

See this great commercial created by the agency DDB New Zealand to the Foundation for the Deaf, made from a survey that shows that deaf people feel isolated from society, and that actually, they are not that we do not understand, but we that we refuse to understand them.

Done with a simple and beautiful animation, the film presents a mouth formed with the words that are spoken and with some assistance in audio, so the expectador has a sense of how it would be if it had hearing problems. Watch:

This is for deaf people who lipreader having hard time to understand when hearing people trying to say those word. Most of time Hearing ppl think Deaf ppl can read lip of everything but not always. I am deaf and lipreader too. I understand how deaf ppl feel when they are trying their best to catch their words.
