The Deaf Family

Before he was a star on "Switched at Birth," Sean Berdy appeared in other films, including this 12-part branded (it was sponsored by a VRS service) film about a deaf family. This film was released in 2008 and was not conceived as a web series - the term web series did not exist yet. However, since it is in 12 parts and is only available online it loosely meets the definition of web television. This may be the first known deaf web series. Sign language with subtitles only in parts 1 and 2. After part 2, there are no subtitles and only signing. Volunteers needed to help add subtitles! Add subtitles to the videos on Amara.org and notify us via a comment, or a tweet, to @captionedwebtv. Or message us on the Captioned Web TV facebook page.

Part 3 partially subtitled (help is needed to finish the subtitling - see the subtitles that have brackets around them): http://www.amara.org/en/videos/jcajOagjviuA/info/mosdeux-the-deaf-family-part-3-of-12/

My Life as a Video Game

Some of us have probably dreamed of being stuck in a video game. Having had a couple drinks with a friend, Don goes to what he thinks is the restroom. Instead, he gets teleported right into a video game as a First Person Player. Imagine his confusion, and then surprise, when he realizes where he is. He's accompanied by MENU, a sarcastic holographic head and hands, and Kara, an actual character in the game, going from one game style to another game style.

Troy's Big Break

A Deaf theatre director searches for the perfect actress. In his journey to complete the show's cast, he goes through disasters and struggles that life throws at him. It may be a little difficult to see in this picture (we can't make it any bigger) but the main character has a cochlear implant and signs. Strong language.

Tom Scott

Tom Scott vlogs about travel, his thoughts on different topics, and more. He has a series within a series called "Amazing Places." His captioning indicates he is semi-committed, with multiple gaps but the gaps are not severe enough to leave him off Captioned Web TV. Just make sure you look on his videos listing page for the ones that have captions. Who knew that the world's largest waterpark was in Germany?

Kat Blaque

Kat Blaque vlogs about transgender issues, and a smattering of other topics. She is what we would have to call semi-committed to captioning because while she captions plenty of her videos, there are some gaps.It looks like she first dabbled in captioning about a year ago, so to find her older videos you will need to go to her videos page and scroll way down.

Don't Shoot the Messenger

Take an awkward not-quite-a-hunk single sign language interpreter who can't seem to get a date (or keep a relationship going) and what do you have? A funny deaf web series! One interpreter remarked that it is a little too close to home!

Thug Notes

How do you like your literature served up to you? Straight-forward or with a gangsta take? Forget Cliff Notes, this is Thug Notes. Never saw "Lord of the Flies" described this way before! Or the "Great Gatsby" for that matter.
