We produce Subtitles and audio descriptive captions for films to make them accessible for all audiences.
Jump to Navigation MenuEpisodes 14 to 24 of the classic television series "Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter" will be released on DVD soon.
Of course, they will be barrier-free, and a sensational, previously unreleased extra will also be included: a making-of documentary from the '70s.
The DVD's menu is barrier-free also, meaning it can be used easily by the visually impaired.
The barrier-free website for the feature film "True Viennese" is now online.
The film's only website, it is in line with the goals of the Barrier-free Films project, making a separate version unnecessary. In other words, a product that works for everyone will be available.
After a great deal of effort, the first barrier-free feature film premiered: True Viennese, at UCI Millennium City.
The film had a one-week run in barrier-free Saal E starting December 19, 2008.
The barrier-free version of the "True Viennese" theatrical trailer can be downloaded from the film's official website as a wmv or mov file.
Drehbuchforum Wien, in collaboration with Bonusfilm, held an introductory seminar on audio description from October 30 to November 1, 2009.
The workshop provided an introduction to the basics of audio description and presented the various steps involved in its production. The following aspects represent the focus: problems relating to synchronization of picture and text, giving the text a suitable rhythm, adapting the text to the scene's arc of tension, and producing a nuanced text for a limited amount of space.
Audio descriptions were produced by all participants and then discussed by the group.
This seminar was conducted by Martina Wiemers, managing director of Deutsche Hörfilm GmbH, which produces audio descriptions.
Details concerning costs and the dates can be found on the Drehbuchforum Wien's website at the following address:
Seminar: Introduction to Audio Description
Today at 5 p.m. Robert Winkler will present his barrier-free feature film "True Viennese" along with prototypes of the subtitle glasses (Head Mounted Display) during the TV program "Vera Exklusiv" on ORF 2. With these glasses subtitles can be displayed directly in the wearer's field of vision, making subtitles on the screen unnecessary.
This should ensure maximum film enjoyment which doesn't inconvenience anyone, handicapped or non-handicapped.
