Sutton Movement Writing is 40 years old!

[André L]

Hello,
I could try to animate the malta long version.  I suggest a full animation, not a succession of static signs.  It is more impressive and intuitive for an outsider.  An experienced sign reader would find is slow and may prefer to see traditional static signs.
 
Which do you prefer? natural or traditional?
 
Natural animation:
It would take at least 34 illustrations.  Maybe up to 40 because of pauses between signs.
However, I will need someone to review the animation steps to ensure they are accurate.
If natural animations are chosen, we need a decision about the eyes and the mouth.  With the current version they will be constant within a sign but appear and disappear from one sign to the next!  I suggest to revert to default opened eyes and smile when not defined by the sign.  With such choice we get an animated face.  This would take me several hours and several démos to correct. There may not be a general consensus on the best implementation.

 Traditional:  It would take 1 illustration per sign, so between 10 and 15 illustrations because of pauses between signs.  This would take me 1h00.  So with little effort from me, people could get an idea.
 
I do not have the skills to translate in correct LSQ.

Dear SignWriting List -I need your help. I would like to create a really cool banner and web page, showing the celebration of our 40 Years of Writing Sign Languages … written in different sign languages…Here is my try at writing it in ASL - Can the skilled ASL signers on the List help write it better? I am happy to have you change it -

And maybe we could also write it in DGS, NTS and maybe LSQ? and any other sign language that would like to participate - all of them would grace our web sites -
And if we could animate one of them, I could put that as the Special Feature on the front page of the SignWriting Site - any sign language animated would be great!

Here is my first try at it:
