I am aware of the frustrations you must feel with applying the SW symbols to a language that has not been written before in SignWriting, such as Japanese Sign Language, which you are working with. I think the video proposed above would help you enormously, and it would also preserve the entire writing system for future generations, which is important. And there is another value to such a video...it would give "the big picture" of the entire Movement Writing system as a whole. Right now, most people only know one section of the system, and they do not realize what resources are available to them. So let us hope this dream will come true :-) How is your work coming recording Japanese Sign Language?
