AW: Sutton Movement Writing is 40 years old!

Wed Feb 26 06:27:32 UTC 2014

Hi Andre, 

Valerie is right – smile - - “This may be more time consuming than you
think,”...ha

Think positive, think steps, think future ...and Tini is right L.F.F.E
;-)) 

Nevertheless – I am looking forward to see a second animation that can be
compared with these animations I prepare years ago for our television
broadcast.... 

Have fun! 

Stefan

SignWriting List

February 25, 2014

How kind of you, André - This may be more time consuming than you think, but
if you have time and want to give it a try, that would be great. Maybe do
the beginning of the Maltese sentence and then see how it looks - we can
look at it to tell you if it works for us - Once you document how to do
this, then maybe it will become easier for others to try animation too..

Stefan Woehrmann’s animation of the German Sign Language sentence at the
beginning of his web site works well for signers even if we do not know DGS
- it looks like someone is signing
and since Stefan is here on the List with
us, maybe he can give us some feedback 

For those on the SignWriting List who may not realize
You can see Stefan’s
animated sentences here:

Thanks so much Andre!

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.

SignWriting List

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:
