 Hey, good afternoon everybody. I wanted to go over something kind of cool today. I found a really cool YouTube channel that is basically deaf news. It's a deaf news website So if you are actually interested in learning more about ASL or interested in the culture, this is a really great YouTube channel to subscribe to it's called the Daily Moth the Daily Moth and let me scroll down real quick Here it is the Daily Moth really good. And so what I really want to focus on today as just like as a quick primer is How different deaf people talk because it's not all the same There's not sign languages in a universal language and even different people who use sign language of the same type Do so differently with different styles And it's really important to know how people express themselves on a person-in-person basis Because that makes us better communicators, too. And that's what this whole channel is about. So Let's look at what's going on. I think what I want to do is just show this quick video Show how the different styles of ASL are used. Let's go at normal speed real quick and Just highlight how it's interesting how there's so many different modes of expression even in the deaf community So check this out deaf news D e a f D e a f for deaf and then news as Then that's how you sign news. So it's not N e W s it's just news. It's such a short word that it's become its own sign. Let's look at that one more time and See that if you didn't see it, let me rewind it real quick But we'll go over it again So the thing is a lot of short words in ASL specifically have become their own sign And so instead of signing N e W s since it kind of flows it just becomes this News and Let me see if I can get a side-by-side and news and news there's gonna be a lot of Things like that in ASL, but if you wanted to you can do any WS that works, too, but news is how you can sign it Anyway D e a f News oh So close right news One last one, and then we'll continue. I just like small things like that. Anyway D e a f News It's pretty good. It's like this Right anyway Anyway, small things. Let's go at normal speed for a little bit. Just get the intro of this video out of the way We'll show you what I'm talking about so reading along the captions says hey a group of deaf and hard hearing animators and Storytellers are teaming up to create a nine-minute 3d animated short film called lift off See I try to time that with how she was signing it, but what I want to do is highlight how The way how she's speaking or the way how she's signing Isn't how the the words and the caption are being played out They're very different and that's because of two things one Grammar and ASL is not the same as grammar when you're speaking in English They're they are different languages and they have their own grammar system, but also this lady has a very particular way of signing and We'll get into it particularly with how it compares to like so many different other people on this channel So what I want to do is slow this down And I want to type out the actual signs that she's saying when she speaks and we can get a better idea of how She's expressing herself. So I will open this up play and We're gonna type out the words that she's saying Test cool. All right, so let's see what we've got deaf news All right, here we go. So teaming group them deaf very interesting way how she signs deaf HOH a M I M a T O R S film animation story Tell person Them together Make Nine Minutes forget that forgive the spelling errors. I'm trying to keep up three Three D film short film Name title Man while she's spelling left off L I F T O F F All right, so let's just stop right there Did I get all the text in there? Hey, not bad. Not bad. Not bad. So there's all the text so you can see the Team group them deaf HOH animators film animation story tell person them together make nine Come on. I'm gonna have to cut me some slack with the The spelling nine minute 3d short film name title left off Those these are the actual signs that she's signing Just the signs not the facials not the the context or the body language. This is like a very rough glossing glossing by the way is like There so I'll explain this real quick There's no writing approved writing system for ASL This is just a shorthand note taking of the signs that I'm getting in order But they don't really have the context of how they're being given. They're just sort of like a like a court Reading, you know, like you know a sonographer who just says what's being said out loud without putting any of the tone behind it So you kind of miss met some of the meaning and so a lot of these words a lot of these Words side-by-side might seem a little confusing But with her facials, which we'll look at in a bit and and just the manner of how she's giving them the signs out They they make much more better context than ASL and so Team group them so like a group of them like a team like a team She's making the group sign or the the class family for group is like this So like a family a team, you know a Crew yeah, like a crew but she's doing with the t symbol So if you know your alphabet, this is letter t and she says a team group them Deaf people she does deaf like this. She goes from her chin up to her ear The way I learned it was from ear to ear chin But you can do it any way you want different people have different styles And as long as you get this or this it counts either way some people get a little Snickety on that, but it doesn't really matter. It's it's they're a grammar There are sticklers in every language and so this can mean deaf this can mean deaf And it's just a stylistic choice at that point or sort of thinking it was like an accent. Anyway, so team Team group them deaf hard of hearing HOH so hard of hearing hard of hearing people are like People aren't completely deaf make people have lost significant amounts of hearing And are just wrapped into wealth culture. Maybe they can talk maybe they can't talk but They can still hear just a little bit, you know So deaf and hard of hearing animators and she didn't sign like animation person She signed that she spelled it out a M. I M a t o r s right film The sign comes from like a movie reel Where you have like a this used to be the sign for like movies way way way back when now people don't know what that means anymore It's like a what do you call them? What's that word? Man, it's gonna come to me, but it's like it is a anachronism No Forget about it. It's gonna come to me though It's gonna come to you before the end of this video, but now you have a movie reel I'm like a movie spinning real slightly more modern take and it's spinning Who knows what movies will be in the future the sign for it at least they'll probably something much more updated But movie reel kids won't know what it means, but that's what the sign is at least for now. So an animator We didn't say it. We spelled it out film animation Story so this is like a sentence. So if you put a bunch of sentences together it becomes a story tell Person how do you sign person tell person them? Let's see. I don't remember if I saw the sign for person Let's see animation story Tell oh person as in oh, I get it. I get it. See I got confused So it's not it's not story tell a person like a person She's saying like it's a story teller person like story teller. That's what the sign is So these things are compounded a Story tell person a story tell person equals a Story teller story So that's how you say story teller in ASL sometimes you combine terms together And then if you use the the the family class or like this it means instead of saying like an animation It becomes an animator animator, right instead of saying lie Person you becomes liar, right? That's what that that's what that this term means you're talking about a person like a person standing right in front of you and Them did she do them did she do them? I don't know. She did them immediately afterwards. Let's see Story teller them together. Oh that whole group together make Nine So This is how you say a minute right two minutes three three minutes Well, I'm sorry three minutes four minutes five minutes six seven eight nine minutes, right? It's really makes a lot of sense when you think about it. So like these are minutes, right? Like minutes on the clock, right? It's like here's your clock and here's your hands going around it So you just do that for a minute. She's making the sign for nine. So nine minutes and then she'll say three D right So, oh well, she says she doesn't say short. Hmm. I'm gonna take that back Well Was that animation was that short? Let's see animation film minute three That's animation. I read that wrong. That was not short Animation short looks different short looks like that or like this There's there's different ways you can sign short you can sign short like this You can sign short like that you need to do this because a short you can talk about a person that short There's a lot of different ways to sign short. So got that mixed up. Anyway, she's signing animation here I thought I saw this but it's this so it's like you're drawing with a Like a pencil or a paintbrush paint brushes like this actually so it's like more like a pencil So animation film film Short I did see short That does say short my bad. I got I did I did see short. I knew I was I'm no I'm not crazy All the time so that says film that short short or short or Short or short. There's a lot of different variations in that for version of short is like this like short, baby. I See I feel I Feel like I'm getting an idea of how she talks more by the choices that she's using so like death from the chin up Short like this Very very clear very well signed But sort of like stresses at some points sort of like a person from maybe like I don't know like Seattle Portland I feel like I get a vibe like if you listen to someone who's like I'm talking like this right and glad is she comes in on Friday nights Can you believe it? It's like I couldn't understand you. Why are you stressing about like that so much like I can't believe it? Oh, what's going on over here? That's a terrible Portland accent. That's what I that's where I'm going for anyway film Name title So name title like the name or the clothing quoting the name of it And then she would should spell L I F T O F F look how she does F F. So off Right, but she goes oh F F or oh F and another F on the side Very very nice. I normally don't like this for like short words off Sometimes I could be confused with up though. So I have to be careful with that. That's my Little note to myself, but like of don't do it like that. So oh F F. Oh F F There's a little hop there. There's a little hop there. There's a little hop between the two F's. Oh wait for it. Oh F F you see that? very clear Great facials. All right, so One more time from the top just so we can follow along and then we'll move on Let's see what we have back here. So team group them deaf H OH a and I am a T O R S film Animation for an animation film story Teller person group make nine minute three the animation film It's a short film Named or titled L I F T Oh F F So like I said Different from how it's being captioned because the caption It's like written for English tellers, but for her way of describing it She's like hey, there's a to there's like a group of deaf and hard of hearing animators that are making an animated film together the story teller Or making an animation. Okay, let me back up. So there's a group of deaf hard of hearing Animators and storytellers that are coming together to make a nine minute 3d film Called liftoff. That's basically how she stated and it's so close to how it's already it's so close to how it's already being said here But it's just slightly different. That's all I mean That's all I mean am I a group of deaf and hard of hearing service are teaming up to create nine minute 3d animated short film named called liftoff The captions actually aren't that bad, but it's like the way how she's saying it's different anyway Hopefully hopefully I'll stand up. Look at look at that facials there when she's like 3d film look at her face. That's so great Look at that. It's a short film. You know what I'm talking about Anyway, it's gonna be called liftoff isn't that awesome like look at her face There's so many like tiny little extra things that appear anyway So now let's go on to the next part. Just gonna delete this text I'll write out the signs and We'll go over the captions and then how she's saying it slightly differently. Yeah, all right, so Story oh no my bad. Sorry guys. That was a good fix time. Okay, so play Looks like we're at liftoff. All right, so story About oh, she signs about differently to to Def Tiara maybe dance person named Be I be I A and Okay, we're gonna take a pause here story is about 22 most likely yeah 22 is to to deaf I Don't know what this was Tiara dance person named the end all right, so The story is about I do my about like this with all my fingers She did her about like this with just one finger Which is a stylistic choice that is interesting and different and I'm not used to seeing it and that's cool Not wrong. It's definitely not wrong. It's just a different way of how A so mutates in different places in different communities so about like this news to her It's the same family sign as like about it like it still looks the same. It's just done slightly differently. And so Story about I'll do it my way, but I'll do it her way about She goes for the sign for age She goes for the sign for age, but she starts with a to so I thought 22 She goes she goes like actually like this and goes to to so like for age to to 22 Because you sign 22 like that 2233 like that so 3 5 would be 35 3 5 3 4 would be 34 33 right you don't just do this you do 33 so she's doing 22 So the story is about a 22 year old Deaf she does deaf like this. I do my death like this deaf Crown dancing Person named V. I. V. I am Okay, and I'm big in tiara Princess a dancing Dancing princess. I forgot what the story was about guys Dancing person Dancing princess person. Oh, it's ballet dancer. Okay Hmm Well, I don't know how you would sign ballet. I think ballet would just be ballet Has a sign and I forgot what the sign is. You want to look up what ballet is? Let's look up what ballet is ASL ballet Let's look for ballet. Oh Fancy, but it's just this and then it's just some fancy Some extra fancy stuff to it. Okay. I could spell that out, too But she does this for ballet Interesting, it's all good. So Yeah, look at that sign isn't that interesting All right, so The story is about a 22 year old deaf ballet dancer named Vivian. Let's see. How would she say it here? Story is about a 22 year old deaf person a deaf ballet Person named Vivian. Yeah, so it looks like she's compounding deaf dance You know this as ballet kind of looks like what she's doing here a little bit All right We'll just we'll just throw in ballet. We'll give it a benefit of doubt Ballot dance person named Vivian. So it's like she Combining these three signs together Actually, she's combining all these together deaf ballet and a deaf ballet dancer equals deaf ballet dancer named Vivian So the story is about a 22 year old 22 Year, oh, I'm sorry guys. I'm going off this. I'm going off the page A 22 year old deaf ballet dance person or deaf ballet dancer named Vivian And what does it say here? The story is about a 22 year old deaf ballet dancer named Vivian. Oh, these captions are so good One point in this video is to show how the captions are different from what being said. I Give me a sec. Just give me a chance Bear with me because there's a lot of different people in this video and they don't all sound as standard as the Transcript is going but I will say this the captions on this are very very well done. Very very well done. Anyway, so the story is about 20 year old deaf ballet dancer named Vivian This is going to be a 3d animated cartoon coming out in the future Let's see what's going on with the rest of the story named And perfect great. So let's see what's going on. So this is someone else who works on the show She's saying integrates make Don't know what that sign is animation. Don't know what that sign is Best or better? Deaf. Oh, she goes to your to character animation Don't know what that is STU studio studio Okay, and there's a lot of people in the zoom call Coming together with our stories Important. Oh important Okay, so it's important So we're integrated So basically she's saying they were integrated Integrated I'm gonna have to go back. I'm gonna have to go back just a little bit. Sorry guys It's a great Some signs. I didn't know it's kind of hard to see in this angle. So hey here compare and contrast White Hands Making sure I'm not saying anything racist Good contrast. I should say that really good contrast and a Big box to sign it a very very big box to sign it, right? I Can see a lot of what's going on here I can see your facial's very clearly and It's very clear to see where the signs are coming from the lighting is good enough I can see really good definition on the hands the face stands up very well And this is round the angle that I would see someone do ASL in When we move to the next one When we move to this example very very tight box, right like You're really barely in frame. That's okay though But also her signing only comes out in like a very very small square It's just a small picture-in-picture sort of thing I'm sure people are really fluent can pick out everything that's going on here. I'm getting maybe about 80% 60% Okay, so that's integrate. Let's see Integrate make I don't know what that is and there's bad blur And the animation best or better death Character animation she does it with her thumb and then there's an extra sign there. I don't know what that is Do uh-huh, I'm gonna just say come together with our stories Okay, so how How would I translate that before we get to before we get to whatever it said in the captions? Let me make sure you seeing the whole script integrated make animation best better Character animation studio come together. So it's really important to have a diverse cast or a group of people making this animation because it helps us come together and Tell our stories which are important Something like that integrated make animation best better deaf character animation studio come together with our stories important It's important that we have an integrated crew to make the Make to represent to animate deaf characters in the best way possible and we can come together and share our stories Like we value that a lot As generally the gist of it I'm not getting enough words here to make a coherent English sentence, but I get the vibe from it in ASL Let's see how it was translated in the actual news story All right, let's read what happened here Okay, Vivian. Let's see what how they translate it. They said the integrated crews make amazing animation in general How would I say that so the integrated crews make Amazing animation in general like in general is like typically like this Right ASL and In general Let's see this might be in here in general. Yeah in general, right? So that integrated crews make Amazing or just amazing me. I don't know. I'm sure we'll have Amazing animation in general or generally they they make Amazing animations very very much so When they are integrated with different people coming together to make work that's important or That's best to represent deaf characters So the thing is what's being said here isn't what I'm seeing up here But it has the general tone of what is being said Let's see the full thing that's actually said and the best deaf character animation And she's saying best deaf character animation Oh, and I don't know what that sign is Now she's gonna sign finger spell studios Can't okay can't oh there's a sign for can so she's say STU DI Is that you spell studio? No STU D hi studio. That's how you spell it STU Oh That's how you spell studio. Okay, studio ST Oh And she says can come together so two words in there with our Stories and that's important. I think that's how she caps that off Again the captions on there didn't really accurately Have a one-to-one with what's being signed, but like I said English and ASL are different languages if you're gonna sign that a bit more closely to how you would say it in English If you're gonna sign it a little bit closer to I think what would be called like exact signing English Let's see if we can't let's see if we can't nail that ourselves so so the integrated crews make Amazing animation in general and the best deaf character Animation in particular. Oh in particular in particular Animation in particular. That's what that sign means. So not in general, but in particular specifically, right? Okay, got you. I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm with you. Okay in particular in particular So that's a new one for me. I like that Animation in particular that or that s I'm sorry, s tu di o Can work trying to figure out Can work with us can work with us. Is that so she's saying it work with Our Stories can work with So this is with this is without with So can work with our Stories, that's important Okay, not bad not bad not bad not bad. I feel like I got a better idea of what's being said here now One last time from the very top. I'm gonna try to translate what she's saying work sign for sign So let's get a little zoom in on here from the very top. Let's go Integrated Make animation, I don't know what that means best deaf deaf Character animation in particular, right? Studios and you can also do this for studios depending on like, you know, like what what you're actually talking about But studios can come together, I think work with our Stories and That is important more or less And so it's important that we can have integrated, you know animation studios that can share our stories more or less That's that's the vibe of what's being said moving on Much better dynamic in terms of being able to understand what's going on here I will go one last weird thing on this lady to her signing frame is very very small This is a picture-in-picture shot. So like here's your pick really. It's a picture-in-picture and picture-in-picture Because one this frame that I'm showing the video in is it full screen and I have two of them I'm gonna take a gamble I'm allowed to do that. So this is not full screen, right? So this isn't full screen. And so I can't see her in full screen She is in a frame in a frame in a frame in another frame and the signing frame that she is in is very Small very very small. So like it's very important Right because she needs to stay inside her camera frame, right and I just think it just makes It's harder to read compared to the other people like all these signs are coming out around her chest area and Something you'll find with like black people who do sign languages. They sign much bigger Then allowable sometimes Okay, so this guy he has a much better Potential for signing much more clearly and I'm already getting a bit more of his vibe. He's saying that That something let's see What's he say? He says that Have Limit none. Yeah, look at him. He's in the he's leaning forward, right? List possibilities possibilities can can Oh, I love the facials here. I I Change change experiment throw stuff in That guy has great. I understood everything that guy was saying Okay, okay. Okay. I understood literally everything that guy was saying experiment throw throw What we're supposed to be saying experiment imagine Throw throw, okay So this guy was great. This guy had a really really great signing dynamic It was nothing like the last lady, so Let's go back Let's go. Let's read what that the animation said So he says animation has no limits really the possibilities are endless Doesn't say that well, let's see. Let's see Possibilities No, he doesn't say possibilities are endless. He just says he can Change anything he wants to keep doing changes. He can experiment a lot Experiments he can I I imagine he can throw stuff in left and right Yeah, so like the captions made him sound a lot more professional He was actually saying so like if I was gonna paraphrase what he was saying as he was saying it I'd be like so like From the from the signs themselves. It just has that have limit none So like animations have no limit, right? And he actually says right when he's signing to and so like the list of possibilities like the list of Possibilities just keep going and I can I basically keep doing anything. I want I can change anything I want I can experiment as much as I want I can imagine Dude, I can just keep going in I can do anything I want man. That's what he's that's what that's basically how he's saying. He's talking like like Seth Rogen kind of like dude. You're gonna do anything. He looks like Seth Rogen Dude animation dude like there's like no limits man You can do anything you want. There's no limits there, right? Come on, man Like dude the limits are like endless baby. They just keep going going. I can I can do anything I can I can basically do anything I want I can like straight up change things, man Or switch in the body language or experiment with anything I want or I can imagine anything I want dude I can just start Really really love that that is so much more clear That is so much more easier to understand In case he ever reads this that was cool and so much more easy to Understand because he threw his body into it. He put his I'm sorry. He put his body language into it Sorry guys, I take I type that whole thing out and no one ever saw it. Anyway, we can move on I just really really like the way how energetic that guy was and his camera setup was perfect for it Anyway, let's keep going through the video So we're gonna sign a nonprofit organization called signing animation is and let's see how she signs non-profit organization and Signing animation, right? That's what we're preparing for so Let me back up just a little bit. All right, so a a non ah so like there This could this means so many different things but in this case she means like I'm talking about this so like a non-profit so a non-profit Right a non-profit organization named What did she do the old family sign for group? Non-profit Organization so the same family for grouping but she's doing with the old signs. So it's an organization now You see that so and oh and profit organization named S I who look how she's signing now. Oh, she's getting a little she's getting a little fancy with her a non a a non-profit profit Organization Organization named All right, and this is the part where we're gonna start signing, but she She spells a little wonky All right named s I G Oh my gosh Hey Back up. Let's just I'm walking a little bit here named s that's an s I That's an eye, but she's already getting ready to go into the G which should be like this, right? Now she's signing so fast her fingers are going a little wonky, but So this is a G, but she's doing like this. It looks like a looks like a sideways L, but I get it I see the G, but you see the difference here like s I g and I and G she's going s I G I and G right so she's a little bit. It's like that whole Gladys situation It's just like oh, I gotta go over here. I don't know if there's an accent there. Oh, what was that? Look at that Look how that I came out Named s I that was a good. I just like this right G She's getting a little wonky on that G and whoo that was a that looked like a Y though Yeah, and whoo I Or you want to tie them that up? No, you're good. You're good, but it gets a little faster Like especially so as you deal with people who are fluent in ASL They will sign they will fingerspell. I mean, what's the nicest way of saying it? abbreviated sloppy a little bit Sort of like fast-paced because they know you know what they are trying to sign Even by the time you get to like the fourth or fifth letter. So they're just you might see people are like a our a and I You know what I'm saying right animation, right? You may get that so it's not that bad at all But like there you have to spot where the letters are now. So like that's an I and And then there's the other G and she flops up the G like this Okay, so now she's going back to a and I And whoa Now it's all coming out also suffix suffixes which are very common like Asian or shun or you know We'll get to them, but like very common Subtixes are abbreviated and and just flung out sometimes not one letter at a time especially in this case and you can see it shun, right because you just get so used to spelling it out that it comes muscle memory so a and I and now the rest of the letters are going to come out super fast and a shun, right? That behind that Project project or so this project it's a very beautiful sign project right project So that behind that project that Start Start I like that Start it's like you're starting up something. I used to do my starts like this Start but she's the one like Start and look at the face That's great facials, I love the way she signs so Start this kick And yeah kick starter very our Arter very TR very Just just quickly done because it's common enough that you should know that as long as you see like that It ends in an R and you can kind of see the letters in between you should know what I'm talking about So she's quickly spelling out Kickstarter Kick start kick start Thing kick start thing. She's saying person, but she's means it more like she's not saying person She means more like Framing of a thing. I hope I'm not rushing too fast. You guys might want to buckle in Because I want to take my time with this so I'm just see how much longer this segment. Let's go a couple more sentences, and I won't do our breakdown For zero Thousand I like how she signs that good facial look at these facials cover cost for make first of the thing film the thing She's not saying person. She's saying with her face. So it's like the thing finished Excess succeed more than More than half Money all the money Few days, I didn't focus too well on that. So I'm not quite sure what was all said, but we'll do Let's try to do a sign-by-side on that anyway, I love I love how this guy signs This guy sounds like how black people sign and I love it But I also like the way how this lady signs the lady in between the the small picture-in-picture lady I was like, oh, you're kind of hard to listen. You're kind of hard to watch all right anyway a a group or a non-profit organization name signing any Nation Mm-hmm. Yep them Or that oh geez them or that him them it Him them You guys know you guys know in general I'm trying to say here because if it was them it would be like a group of people But she means the organization and I'm not sure if you call organizations her or him And this is typically her or him. So I'm gonna say that for right now But sometimes you refer to organizations as them in English. It's weird. I know them behind that project that Start this kick starter and then she says kick start Project make oh geez forty zero thousand to the goal to the goal cover cost for make First of the film really for the first cut of the film Where is it? Make first. Oh, it looked like she was saying half there first Yeah, because half is this right That's how you say half starts as one splits into two Looks like she's saying half here cover cost for making first Looks like she says first half of the film or the first cut maybe That finished over exceeded more than So she says that made more then or then More than More so you can say more than or you can be like more than there's two different ways to do it Let's see how she does it exceeds More than it's very fast half. There's half again Faces I love More than half so she says They exceeded their $40,000 gold they made more than half of all the money more than all the money They were aiming for in a few in a few Days right? They made more than all the money they needed in a few days or more than half They made more than half the money they're asking for in 40 days so a nonprofit behind the organization named signing animation started a Kickstarter for them and the Kickstarter project school was $40,000 and they were able to cover and the $40,000 were to cover the cost for making the first Cut of the film the first cut of the film Not first person, but she says it like first cut. I'm saying something different here first cut the first cut of the film and Along with that they made more than half the money for the total project in less than 40 or less than a few days They made more than half and $40,000 needed to make the first cut of the project in a few days. So Let's see how they were saying it With captions just so I make sure I'm not leaving you guys astray Okay, so a nonprofit organization called signing animation is You can say called or named here. She says name, but the sign means both things Behind the project fine. Yep, and there's no ASL word for the so you just go from behind project in signing They they see in this case. It's an organization, but they also use they as well And that's the issue I was having with English before so they don't say that Which I which is what I was having an issue with but they say they but in ASL It's just the organization, right? It's them as the organization. That's very interesting weird thing between English and ASL So anyway started this Kickstarter She fingerspells it but then she goes this Start and I love it. That's such a cute way of doing it There's also the word for kick is like this, but she goes kick start, you know what I'm saying. Come on Pay attention. Oh get about it There's an accent here, it's so good with $40,000 towards the goal they started to start with a $40,000 cold to cover the cost for making the first Cut like right. It's not a person. I'm not saying person here I'm not saying person saying the thing the thing for the film the first cut the first cut, right? That's what I'm saying the film if she's even clarifying here the film Cut the film thing right and that You know, we're already done like it's been done past more than half so like More than or more than or like more than That's like, let me just verify how you say more than ASL more than I say more than more than more than more than became more than right Then is like Then then then that's how you sign them More so more than they they combine the two words together. Does that make sense more than is a combined Sign of more and then so now it's just this right, but you can also do it less than it's more than and she's saying more than half right They've made or they surpassed more than more than half of the money a lot of the facials money for all the money that they needed for that project goal in a few Days a few days or several days, but in this case Because in English several has a connotation So this I mean several or few or a bit But in in the context at least when you translate the English she specifically referred to few Man, we're an hour long. It's only three minute video. Oh my god. I'm so sorry guys You're in the long haul now. We're here. We're here. We're here. Let's just watch Anyone who's made it this far, please leave a comment say hey, I made it I made it in and out and now along into your one minute Video I know there's hopefully we learned some cool stuff though along the way right all right, so Let's keep going So in a few days, we've already surpassed More than half so here's the next couple of sentences that person or that Organization or that project. I'm not sure what the context here is, but she says That thing the film inspires a Real-life Person That person is deaf dancer person named Z a H a N s I am Oh, and I have no idea what that name is. I Had it at Z. Oh It says it there Zana Simon. Oh my gosh. I was like Zendaya I Had no idea what the name was. I was like Z a up. What's gonna be a long name? It's gonna be a long name, and I'm not gonna know what this name is and then it's like s I was like, oh jeez. I'm not gonna remember all these letters to put in order Why can't it just be like Joe or something? Okay, the film is inspired by a real-life deaf dancer. Yeah, that works She says it a little differently, but she says these signs she says that This that Film inspire real Person a real-life person real-life Person Geez, I look the way. Sorry guys. I Look the way to make sure the spelling was right. I can always fix that in post so that This that that thing the film inspires a real Person a Real-life person that person. Oh my gosh is a deaf dancer named That person is a deaf dancer Her Nick dance person dance person her name Okay, so that's on a Simon and just before we move to her she said This film inspire Spired inspired by so for English inspired by By a real-life person that person is a deaf dancer She says deaf dance person. Yeah, and we know that you combine deaf Deaf and dance and person to be a deaf dancer, right and her name is Donna Simon Okay, so the animation was inspired by a real-life person who was also deaf and A dancer and her name was not assignment How did they say the film is inspired by a real-life deaf dancer that's perfect That's perfect. Donna Simon whoever did the captions for these videos very very well done Very well done. Isn't that like so perfect This this that film inspired real-life person that person is deaf dance person her name's on a Simon and then English This film is inspired by a real-life deaf dancer down assignment. That's perfectly perfectly well said but you can see What's being insist the difference between the the more passive way that the sentence is constructed versus how it's being signed is that The signers more of like, you know this film, you know, this film right here It's fired by like a real-life person. Yeah, that that deaf Dancing person. Yeah, her name is Anna Simon There's a little bit more character there, right? That's why I like The dynamic between the caption person and then how she's signing it actually because it's like, oh, there's a little bit more personality Anyway, anyway, let's see. Let's see. Let's see how Xana signs Xana signs To me it's amazing amazing opportunity expressing myself First of all, it's it dances an amazing way for me to express myself first of all second It's a challenge third communication or communication Man, they only let her say those things That's a short so this angle is really really bad But you can barely see half her hands But her face is like Detailing most of the things that she's saying and I'm just basically using her hands to get the keywords together Dance is an amazing opportunity for self-expression Oh, I don't think I found four. Let's see. So she definitely says dance amazing opportunity And then like self-expression and then with her face you have to like tie it together for me to express myself That's how that's how i'm getting it. So again, these aren't the The the news the daily moss captions. These are the captions from the most likely to kick start so It's not that far off though. So dance For me, okay. So how how would I sign this? dance It's an amazing opportunity for self-expression right for self-expression for self-expression, right and I don't see the sign for four here. So opportunity This thing going on here The facials or expressing myself and I guess I get that first of all So dance is an amazing opportunity for self-expression first of all and secondly It's a great way to challenge and I guess she means Challenge for herself challenge for other people and then third because she only literally just says challenge communication And so there's some additional words in here and it's a good way to communicate with other people So it's a good way to challenge. It's a major opportunity. It's a great way to communicate. All right So very interesting way of signing from the the dance or very Very dance like in the way that she expresses herself, right Hey, I'm throwing out a couple of things you fill in the dots because it's art baby Anyway, we're back to my favorite signer right here Let me see if I can sign along with her see if we can speed this up a little bit So I'm going to try to change our view a little bit And we'll sign I will speak out the exact signs that she's saying And then I'll do it again with my paraphrasing and then we'll read the captions afterwards How about that? We'll try that as a format. So directing person Writing person And C. O Founder C. O. Founder C. O. Founder C. O. Founder Okay, oh man. I got to slow down person writing person And and C. O. Company Founder person Co-founder person co-founder. It's a co-founder. Oh, it says co-founder. It's co-founder That person that person all those three people that person's name Is c a oh my god. I want to see if I get this name right c a r i m C. O. W. E. L. L. Karen Powell her Deaf But only in one ear Look at her Deaf people will call you out Deaf people will describe how you're deaf In the same detail sometimes that black people describe how black you are. It's like, uh, look at that light skin Dude, that's in my car The andre the andre the andre stole my basketball. Which one's the andre? You know that light skin guy go walk around cotaroids all the time damn long Uh, you know, you know how it is sometimes anyway You guys got skin darkest night That was me five bucks. She's only deaf in one ear. She's deaf, but she's deaf in one ear She's not like that, but it's like it's funny that that's called out in such detail in this in this conversation So like her she's deaf Not only in one ear It's not like that, but she's just like calling it out. Oh my gosh So it's not like it's a bad thing. It's just a weird thing to like special specify With the with the facials that she's given just like she's deaf Deaf She's deaf on this side She's deaf in one ear Some remarks So like some remarks some sentences how they say remarks. Yeah, some remarks Some remarks I'm gonna make sure some remarks Oh from Some remarks from From her so she's saying what she's The the newscaster is going to say some things that the Director writer and co-founder for this project had said and she's a person who is deaf in just one ear all of Oh, man From her and her and out of Making This named I feel like I'm missing something here Make I'm trying to figure this out without reading the subtitles Okay, so she's pointing And a different person who o f A make person Ah, man. I'm gonna have to back up. Sorry guys Some remarks and some remarks from this person and Oh f and of a make person Named what's a make person? Um So like she has some comments from the director writer and co-founder as well as a make person And I don't know what a make person is. Oh, it's a producer Huh, I'm gonna have to look that up asl producer How do you say producer Someone who manufactures someone someone who makes things. Yeah, that's like a machinist though Um So a make person in this context means producer that's interesting. Okay make person Named s a Uh R I messed up. Sorry s a m m s e p a g No h h h Man, I did not get any of that look sentence. My brain is tired guys. I've been doing this for a while now I don't have to break this down.

Which one's this Karen power the director? Uh, I'm old. I feel old now. Okay I feel like a It's like a freshman on campus or something Okay. So anyway, let's go back to what she was saying. I'm going back to what I'm going back Uh, I shouldn't say okay we are film I'm sorry our films titled L I F T O waiting for the O F F yeah she's slight oh no she doesn't bump for the F nice it's like it's like let me move this over here it's like freedom it's like freedom F freedom also I think it's like a rocket going up in the air also I think of a rocket blasting off I'm not familiar with this I'm not familiar with that as a saying but okay let me see where's my picture let me uh let me block the captions as I do the translation I have I have a uh special part I have a button in my heart that warms whenever I see obviously young people dress old like obviously like their grandmas also I love these things in the background so like I think it's a fresh style all right so L I F T O T O F F right she looks like she could be a librarian or principal but she looks like she's also like needs her mom to fill out a sick day card for height their senior year of high school or something like that absolute freedom also also for I think it's like a rocket blasting off I don't understand what that reference is I'm gonna have to look that up oh look at that though look at that little piece of art she has in the background there some little acro stuff going on there black lives matter let's go all right all right I see you anyway this guy says I'm just kind of trying to come this up this film is really inspirational or inspiring for deaf hard of hearing hard of hearing for dancers all around in our cities so this film is really here to inspire uh oh he's not done yet so stories real not so these are not real stories uh little work I can't see the signs dude I gotta see the hands man you're just gonna have to trust them not reading these subtitles let me go back to what he was saying this film is truly inspired by many deaf and hard working hard here inspired by or inspirational that's what I want to see if he said real hard of hearing it's okay so I'm missing I'm missing the inspirational part so this is a different guy this is Sam Sapa oh okay so that that film he says truly or really inspired many uh deaf he says deaf the the way how I say that that's interesting inspired by from ear to chimp deaf hard of hearing deaf our dancing people all around so it's either in this so yeah I don't let's see if he's saying I think in this sentence he's either saying it was either inspired by or this film is is is this film is inspired by or this film will inspire I guess he means this film was inspired by because the film hasn't out yet so the film is inspired by deaf people hard of hearing people and dancers all around uh our towns our cities oh he says communities in the subtitles but this means cities community would be like this communities like this let me make sure I'm so he's saying cities cities he's saying cities but he means community and so it's a good correction so yeah this is cities right city town oh it also means community check that out all right I'm wrong okay so city town community whoa good save good save life print so there's an extra meaning to that sign which means community so then I would assign community like this but I guess that could also mean club too how would you sign would you say it like this oh oh interesting okay okay all right I also like to double check sometimes huh oh I don't got time for ads I don't got time for ads okay all right let's continue so you can do community like this or even like this I guess this would mean club anyway the story isn't an actual true uh real work story no but it it picks from a bunch of different foundations and that are true stories from here here various from various true stories that all come together to make to make a film animation film yeah uh what was he signing there uh he's signing he's spelling animation with his hands but he's doing it so fast that he's just loving the whole thing and he kind of has a flubbing kind of way of talking he talks like he talks like a producer he talks like a hey I got that thing from the store and then next thing you know Linda came in and she was saying the thing and then stuff happened next thing you know forget about it yada yada yada we're all millionaires on a yacht baby why you gotta ask so many questions that's how he's talking there's a lot of like words where's like you're emphasizing the very small context in these words but we have to put together all these sentences together so anyway uh let's see anyway am I at two hours yet okay anyway anyway we're learning sign language guys we're we're gonna have a fun time I'm I'm locked in we're gonna finish this whole video believe it or not so anyway um film animation so he's signing animation but look how he's signing he only does like three letters and

palms I have an aunt who signs like this and it's literally impossible and she talks like this we don't talk to her anymore it's impossible to understand and we just say just next message us we don't

moderately done in like say the last I don't know it's been a while kids kids are around they've only been watching Spongebob who knows what they're doing these days but when I was growing up what was
