Multimedia Production
The LLC provides no-cost video or audio production services for projects that fall under the center’s mission of supporting language-related or language-adjacent education and research. The LLC has a dedicated recording studio with video and audio recording equipment. LLC staff must be present during all recording sessions and will operate the equipment. We also can provide some post-production (e.g., editing) services for certain projects if time is available. Community projects aimed at preserving endangered languages are highly encouraged, other language projects directly related to the UW community are also welcome. The availability of LLC support for multimedia production projects access is determined on a first come first serve basis, and is dependent upon LLC resources and the scope of the project.
