Motion Light Lab is excited to release a short 3D animated film in American Sign Language, one of the first of its kind using motion capture technology.


Dimensions is a story about Zoe, a smart, spunky 12-year-old Deaf girl with sky-high ambitions. She wants to become an astronaut when she grows up, just like her mother Angie. However, on a top mission for a space agency, Angie disappears. Follow Zoe's journey as she tries to bring her mother back and makes the biggest discovery in the history of humankind.


[Poster image description: A film poster for the film “Dimensions.“ Against the starry night, the poster shows one black elderly woman with a black child in the middle with three planets above. The elder woman has both hands joined together. The child has a hand up to her eye as to say “search.” There is a golden telescope in the lower left corner. On the top, yellow text: Gallaudet University’s Motion Light Lab presents.” On either side of the text are logos for Gallaudet University and Motion Light Lab. Underneath is white text: “Dimensions. A short film.” Below that, white text: “Within old stories is a nugget of unexplored truth.” On the bottom is a logo for Sorenson Communications with blue text: “Made possible by Sorenson Communications.”]

Across from her is a translucent blue figure sitting in a white-blue chair, signing to her. In the background is a solar system model on a stand and several space-related images on the wall.]
