Making animated GIFs in SignWriting ;-)

Actually, I have forgotten important elements, haven’t I?

Timing… and emphasis ...

There needs to be a pause after the movement finishes, so you know when it stops, and the emphasis should be on the bend, not equally on open and close - it is close-close, not close-open-close-open -

So there would be a lot to consider developing such software -

but a wonderful idea!

Here is the ASL number 21, animated with the GIFMaker program http://gifmaker.me/




The animation is based on the original positions that were used before we developed the Finger Movement Symbol of two dots...



So the auto-animation software would need to know the positions needed to replace the Movement Symbols…
