idc - International Digital Centre

Still buzzing from the Languages & The Media conference. So much sharing of knowledge, cross-pollination, and professional inspiration. And getting to be on a panel to talk AD with Nefertiti Matos Olivares, Anna Capezzera (my first boss in AD!), Marie Campbell, and Sonali Rai was an absolute privilege. I learned so much from the other panels, and I'm already energized about some new ideas to continue evolving our best practices, and to keep the tide of accessibility on the rise.

For the second year in a row, International Digital Centre, Inc. is honored and proud to be presented with American Council of the Blind People's Choice Award for the Audio Description of All the Light We Cannot See. Based on the best selling book, All the Light We Cannot See revolves around Marie-Laure LeBlanc played by Aria Mia Loberti, a blind girl living in Paris during WWII. As fits the material, this project featured the most involvement from members of the disability community than any other IDC has created thus far. Fern Lulham did a wonderful job narrating the audio tracks, both for the series itself as well as all of the additional trailers & marketing supplementals. Joe Strechay and his assistant Cara Lee Hrdlitschka did a thorough pass on the AD scripts, giving? detailed feedback on the specific ways the main character Marie navigates her world, as well as the technology she used (including her canes and Braille writer), so the description could be more specific about those moments. Haben Girma provided a thorough reading of our Descriptive Transcript (IDC's first ever!) and contributed feedback that helped smooth out and clarify key scenes. Star Aria Mia Loberti, not only gave notes on the AD script, but also narrated our Audio Introduction (https://rb.gy/ut2dpz) - the first-ever commissioned by a streaming platform. She included some behind-the-scenes info on both scripts as well! A huge congratulations to everyone involved, especially our CEO Marcy Gilbert (I'm Hiring), our Director of Audio Description Eric Wickstrom, and Head Writer Liz Gutman without whom this groundbreaking project could not have been made possible.

IDC was thrilled to produce the Audio Description for HBO’s newest series, “The Penguin.” Starring Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb (aka “The Penguin”), the DC Studios series continues filmmaker Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” epic crime saga that began with Warner Bros. Pictures’ global blockbuster “The Batman.” Developed by showrunner Lauren LeFranc, the series centers on the character played by Farrell in the film. Most exciting for us at IDC was the collaborative decision to use blind professionals in several areas of the AD production. Ren Leach does an amazing job narrating the story. His signature brand of VO blends seamlessly within the universe of the series. Tristan S's audio mix does a masterful job weaving the narration into the source material. Thomas Reid performs the invaluable service of quality control, providing important feedback to our writing team to ensure the end tracks are meeting the expectations of our blind audience. The series premiered on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and is available to stream on Max. Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT was the debut day and time of all subsequent new episodes of the eight-episode series on HBO and Max, continuing with episode two on Sunday, September 29. Spoiler alert: It’s fantastic :-) https://lnkd.in/eCQTQWaS

His movies are genre classics. His style unmistakable. His film scores instantly recognizable.

Tune in to this week's episode to find out if their favorites match up with yours.
