Project Description
Located in the Presidio of San Francisco, The Walt Disney Family Museum (WDFM) features contemporary, interactive galleries and state-of-the-art exhibits focusing on the life, work, and art of Walt Disney. WDFM selected Q Media to expand their existing main gallery audio tour’s language translations. In addition, as part of their continued commitment to accessibility, tasked QM to develop and produce audio described and American Sign Language tours.
Translate, cast, and produce the existing 50-minute interpretive tour into Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Korean and Russian, and reproduce the existing audio tour into ASL. Design, develop, write and produce a new audio described tour incorporating the existing interpretive tour content into the production, as well as provide wayfinding directions throughout the historic two-story, 40k square foot galleries.
Q Media went above and beyond when helping us build our museum's first Audio Descriptive Tour, as well as new language translations and an ASL Tour for our new app. They are very experienced in their field, highly knowledgeable, and extremely well organized, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone seeking new ways to provide better accessibility within their business.
