Lip Pointing - Video Documentation

[Ben Levine]

Some Algonquianists may find this documentation of  lip pointing in one of our videos of natural group conversation helpful.
Apologies for not being able to post this during the original exchange. 

The speaker is Deanna Francis. This was the only instance of many filming sessions where she employed lip pointing so clearly. It may have had to do with the need to clarify who she was referring to.
Comments on the video documentation would be appreciated. 

Context:  
 Dialog Summary:


Antoinette has just described being strangled

by a nun for speaking Passamaquoddy in school.

 Guest, Deanna Francis, comments.


 Note: the clip is played first in real time


and then repeated at 60% slo motion.

Summary of Deanna's comment:

Deanna comments on the injustice…


 At the moment of lip pointing she is saying:


“It is so well put; how he did it.”

 She is referring to Ben Levine who is filming


just to her left.
