[Sw-l] Question about writing with Handshape from different perspectives

[Profo Rubens Almeida]

Hi AnnaGrace, Adam, Val and SignWriting List Members...



You are very attentive, I thank you immensely for your kindness in helping
me with my question!

AnnaGrace, upon your request, will be happy to teach you how to edit
similar videos. This video was edited using the Microsoft program -
PowerPoint. I need to complete some projects, including the production of a
book that I will use in the next SignWriting course in the first half of
2024. As soon as I complete them, I will record editing video classes in
PowerPoint with a focus on producing materials in SignWriting. My proposal
is to present it with explanations in LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) with
translation into Portuguese in the form of audios and with subtitles in
English with review by someone fluent, considering that I do not have
command of English, unfortunately.

Thank you very much Adam for the clarifications, now it is very clear about
when to use the Handshape symbols from different perspectives, when it is
not possible to write them with the same perspective. The examples used
were excellent, they helped me understand well.

Val, if you can find more guidance in the publications, it will help me a
lot to reference this information in the book I am producing, which I
mentioned above. But, in any case, I will quote the guidelines contained
here, in the SignWriting List forum. Thank you very much Val for the
encouragement and kind message.

I am very grateful to everyone!

Signed hugs!
