Video 1: How Deaf Opinions Changed
http://www.SignWriting.org/video/swvideo3.html

Deaf ASL signers give their opinions on SignWriting, including  
Lucinda O'Grady Batch, Bonita Ewan, Kathleen Say and Denny Voreck. In  
the early 1990's, the Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting met in  
the evenings, in Valerie Sutton's home, in La Jolla, California, to  
discuss how to write signs and create documents and dictionaries in  
American Sign Language. This casual video was shot during one of  
those meetings. The video finishes with Valerie telling about her  
early days writing Danish Sign Language in Copenhagen.

Taken from the perspective of the Deaf people involved, Video 2 is a

began to write their language. Native signers skilled in SignWriting  
discuss how they used the system in the 1980's and early 1990's. This  
30 minute video features George 'Butch' Zein, Lucinda O'Grady Batch,  
Kevin Clark, Denny Voreck, and Valerie Sutton, with guest appearances  
by Deaf actor Bernard Bragg, and a special visitor from Saudi Arabia,  
Abdul Aziz Al-Obaid, who discusses recording Saudi Arabian Sign  
Language. In American Sign Language, with English voice and captions.
