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. This page provides some examples of past productions. This is not a limited menu and we are open to exploring new ideas and formats.

A Kabluna at the University of Washington
This ~1 hour long documentary chronicles the work of Mick Mallon, Inuktut/Inuktitut linguist and educator, as well as an Inuktut course taught at UW. Made in partnership with the Canadian Studies Center. This was created with our older camera at a lower quality of video than is currently available.

Linguistics Fieldwork in Hydaburg (1972) | w/ Paul Aoki, PhD
This is an example of an interview with a researcher about their work. It includes restored photographs.
Korean Gencyber
This is an example of a video produced for a summer student program. Video was captured over two weeks and studio interviews were conducted on the final day. The video was quickly edited and produced for viewing the following day. This is an example of a higher energy, quick turnaround, but not as polished production.
Thank you to the STF for helping to fund equipment in some of these rooms which can be used by all UW students.
