This paper presents an annotated video corpus of Finnish Sign Language (FinSL) to which has been appended Kinect and computer-vision
data. The video material consists of signed retellings of the stories Snowman and Frog, where are you?, elicited from 12
native FinSL signers in a dialogue setting. The recordings were carried out with 6 cameras directed toward the signers from different
angles, and 6 signers were also recorded with one Kinect motion and depth sensing input device. All the material has been annotated
in ELAN for signs, translations, grammar and prosody. To further facilitate research into FinSL prosody, computer-vision data describing
the head movements and the aperture changes of the eyes and mouth of all the signers has been added to the corpus. The
total duration of the material is 45 minutes and that part of it that is permitted by research consents is available for research purposes
via the LAT online service of the Language Bank of Finland. The paper briefly demonstrates the linguistic use of the corpus.
