Fwd: CZECH SIGN LANGUAGE Video Editing Request

Mon Sep 5 14:26:19 UTC 2011

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, Honza.

It looks like you have the writer's preference on the FIRST and FOURTH signs. ;-)

With the THIRD, I personally don't use the forward-down arrows because it doesn't really have affect in ASL that much. If you feel it does, then use it. :-)

The SECOND and FIFTH sign is what really interests me and why it has taken me so long to reply. I saw them as the same sign, but you said they aren't and pointed out how. Now I see the "square" and "triangle" difference. I have been wondering how to write them so they aren't the same. I have made another attempt with the SECOND sign. It is written with focus on the details. From there you can decide where to simplify the writing without losing too much information. 

Now for your question about embedding videos in SignPuddle. Do you have your video hosted on a site like YouTube? From there you can embed your video with the embed code that they give you in the "Video Markup" box of "Write Words"

So I would suggest writing the second position. The Finger Movement symbol is fine if there is a position it relates to...
> 
> THIRD SIGN: I confess the third sign was very fast and a little hard for me to see, but I can see you both wrote trilled alternating fingers and it seems to be a trill and the only question is what direction is the hand going... I guess I would have written it going down, but if you know the language, Honza, and it feels like forward to you then of course write it forward. Perhaps it is both forward and down in a diagonal?
