Need your help - can you view this video?

[Charles Butler]

Having worked with avatar programs in Brazil before, I have a few observations.

1) Avatars may have a default beginning setting, this one seems to have one, but that default setting is not the start point of each sign.  Each sign has a beginning and an end.  With this avatar, all signs start at the waist, not at the natural beginning of each sign.

2) Some orientations seemed to have been viewed backward.  This may be because of a misunderstanding of avatars and expressive signwriting.  The one sign I can rememer is understand.  The palm facing is toward the writer, not away from the writer.  The avatar signs away from the writer.

3) Unsure which fingerspelling system is being used.  A sign that says AUD is apparently AVD, which may be some other fingerspellings outfit, but not ASL.  

4) The sign translated "ASL" reads as "RV" in ASL, so I'm not sure which signed language is being produced.

A Deaf man, named Ed, from Michigan, who attends the Deaf Church that Pastor Ron Dettloff directs, explains in ASL that he was born Deaf and that he learned a little SignWriting but still needs to learn more, and then he reads out loud in ASL from the book written in SignWriting...He does a great job and it is a good video - Thank you, Ed and Ron, for doing this for us, and giving us permission to post...
