My colleagues have recently completed an animation demo which you can view at <a href="http://wospdev.blogspot.com/">http://wospdev.blogspot.com/</a>. If you visit the site, please feel free to leave any comments about the demo; it would really help and encourage our animator. I also want to get this demo transcribed into SignWriting, so I emailed Valerie about the SignWriting organization's transcription services. Amongst her replies was the suggestion, "Why not learn how to do it yourself?" So, here I am, looking for your help with this! I'll soon be attempting my first SignPuddle, and sending loads of emails to this list for suggestions! A couple of animations are available at <a href="http://wospdev.blogspot.com/">http://wospdev.blogspot.com/</a>. The one that I'm interested in transcribing is called "ASL Story demo", available in three different file sizes, and is also the animation displayed at the bottom of the webpage.<br>Thanks for your help, and please be gentle with me!!!<br>Best regards,<br>Tim Grove</blockquote><br></div><div>---------</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div>Hello Tim!</div><div>Thanks for posting this message and re-introducing yourself.
