ASL Diary of Jane

I did this as a project for my ASL class, hope you like it :)
this might not be the best interpretation of the song, but its the best i could do with only 3 days to practice the song and about 2 days to shoot it
As you can see if you know ASL, i use a Sign-name for Jane, using the Sign for "beautiful" i changed the open-hand shape to a "j" around the face, saying that Jane is beautiful

I will be doing other ASL related music videos with a friend of mine, so keep an eye out for those:D

~~Lyrics~~
If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No!

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Try to find out what makes you tick.
As I lie down
Sore and sick.
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate.
And I don't mind.
Just let me say that
I like that
I like that

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love.
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way.
Something's just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.

i thank you all for your comments and criticism. Thankfully, our school was able to host a Third Year to ASL and i am currently still learning the art. Its a process like learning any other language (lack of Facial Expressions in ASL is kinda monotone in any other language)

my next song will either be Savior - Rise Against

OR

Cold - Crossfade

again, thank you all for your comments :)

[lostismyconstent]

what year of ASL are you in?

just curious

[FURBALLx117]

im in my second year of ASL

[shelbywright23]

This is actually pretty cool(=

[theresastillwell]

I love it but you need more in the face... if it wasnt for the music i wouldn't know the emotion... great job through

[VickiPhillips1]

AMAZING! I am an ASL student and I am a huge Breaking Benjamin fan and you did awesome!

[Shitsumeishi]

(again, I know this is hard, especially when attempting to interpret a song, you just need to look for ways to make it more ASL). However, I did catch your movement between "love and hate." Good work on that. You should post more stuff and let me know if you're still studying sign. =]

Ran into this video from your comment on the Daft Hands chick's ASL video.

Cool video. (Love the Led Zeppelin shirt!) You obviously know your ASL vocabulary pretty well, but I'm going to have to second andres1988's comment and say that your facial expression could use some work. I know it's difficult (I'm an ASL student, myself), but you'll get in time with practice! Oh, and the song was a little bit to English, rather than ASL, format

[xxxxaliluvsuxxxx]

good job.

you just needed to time yourself better towards the middle.

other than that. GREAT!

[andres1988]

good but you REALLY need to work on facial expressions.
