Mass of the Air

The sign language interpreting
The sign language interpreters are set up in the rear of the chapel where they can see the ministers and the flow of the liturgy.
The interpreters work in pairs. Nancy (L) is the actual interpreter and Peg (R) is the prompter. Peg supplies words or phrases that may be difficult to hear and also especially feeds the lines of a hymn to Nancy in advance to give her an extra second or two to determine how to sign poetic phrasing.
Out of sight, a taping crew from a local TV station operate a control room to select cameras, change angles, and mix the feeds, producing a very professional product.
