What we do
More than translation: accessible production, from idea to delivery.
MultimediLIS is the CREI department dedicated to audiovisual content. We combine direction, filming and editing with LIS language design and knowledge of Deaf culture.
We work with public and private organisations that want to reach a wider audience. Where the project calls for it, we involve native Deaf signers in design, production and language review.

An accessible video reaches more people and communicates better with everyone.
For Deaf signers
LIS is a language in its own right: content designed in LIS allows full and direct understanding.
For every viewer
Subtitles and a clear visual structure help people who watch without sound, or in a language that is not their first.
For your organisation
Accessibility becomes a concrete part of your identity and reputation, not a last-minute formality.
Our approach
Language and production, designed together.
How readable signing is depends on light, framing, background and the rhythm of the edit. That is why linguistic and technical choices are made at the same table.
How we work
Six stages, one point of contact.
- Stage 1
Analysis of the project and the audience
We define goals, audience, distribution channels and constraints. We understand who will receive the content and in what context.
- Stage 2
Content design
We structure the message, text, length and format. LIS is considered from the writing and direction stage, not added afterwards.
- Stage 3
Linguistic and cultural adaptation
The source text is adapted to LIS, with native Deaf signers involved where the project calls for it.
- Stage 4
Audiovisual production
Filming, lighting, framing and editing are designed to keep the signing legible and the overall quality high.
- Stage 5
Review and quality control
We check linguistic delivery, subtitle sync and technical consistency before handover.
- Stage 6
Delivery and support
We supply files in the agreed formats, with guidance on publishing and using the materials to best effect.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a video with an interpreter and a video designed in LIS?
In the first case LIS is added to content already conceived for listening. In the second, LIS is considered from the design stage: framing, timing, graphics and editing are built to make it readable and natural.
Who signs in your videos?
Where the project calls for it, we involve native Deaf signers and people with specific linguistic expertise. The make-up of the team is defined during the analysis stage.
Can you work with videos we have already produced?
Yes. We can adapt existing content into LIS and add subtitles, and we will work out together the best solution for your source material.
Does your content make our website compliant with accessibility regulations?
Accessible audiovisual content is an important part, but compliance depends on many factors. We can show you how our materials fit into your path, without replacing a specific check.
How long does a project take?
It depends on length, complexity and the number of contents. After a first conversation we will propose a realistic schedule.
How do I request a quotation?
Fill in the form on the Contact page describing the project: we will get back to you to explore needs and timing.
Do you have content to make accessible?
Tell us about the project: we will work out together the right format, timing and solution.
