Following on from the success of the “50 Mums” video and their October “Greatest Showman” video, we were thrilled to work in association with our friends at the DS Charity #WouldntChangeAThing once more. This time however, the project was in association with ITV’s This Morning and included teaching Phillip Schofield, Rochelle Humes and all the #WCAT families how to Makaton sign this Michael Buble version of ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’. This then became the Charity’s awareness video for Christmas 2018.
You can see the finished televised video here featuring a very special guest introduction from a very special guest:
In order to be ready for their big day at the studio, the families learned all the signs from a Singing Hands tuition video – so here it is and it shows all the signs for the whole song.
Note: for ‘baby’ we’d usually sign PARTNER, but as the families were singing to their children we chose to sign LOVE for this concept.
