Kim -
This is what I want to teach you...not the technology...but how I  
started writing signs, from a dance background... I captured the  
beginning and ending positions of each sign, and then wrote the  
Movement in-between...that is how I write foreign signed languages I  
do not know...This gives a detailed way to write each sign and then  
later you can simplify the SignSpellings...that is what the Video  
Transcription course will teach...taking the same video and we all  
try to write it and can discuss the SignSpellings as we go along...
