SW captioned video

[K.J. Boal]

I just watched the video - I love it!!! :-)  I've thought of the possibility 
of SW captioning, but I hadn't gotten as far as actually figuring out how to 
do it... it looks great to me!

The only problem I had was when the caption hid one of the signer's hands.  
Otherwise, it looks good to me.
