The source material for me is a National Park Service "unigrid" brochure; the end product will be an audio-description equivalent, so a purely audio form, probably MP3, shared via mobile devices. I have not been able to find any previous empirical research attempting such a cross-modal translation. I'm looking for methods/methodologies to build upon. Can you recommend any?
Dear Brett,
This sounds like a great project. My suggestion would be to conceptualize what the end product would be by thinking about several questions, such as, who is your audience, would the MP3 be something that only those visiting the area would receive or would it also be podcast or accessible on a website, would it include information not in the brochure, i.e., background or historical information, etc. Once you have determined the parameters of the MP3, then you could start working on its actual production, selecting a voice over talent, choosing background sounds, doing the audio recording, audio editing and sound mixing, etc.
I hope this helps,
Paul
Thanks for the advice, Paul. ... If you run across any literature on this, let me know.
