SignWriting List
March 19, 2000
Dear SignWriting List Members:
Thank you, Bill, for your message offering to help with videos. And
thanks, also, to the other members of the List who also wrote to me
to inform me about videos and computers and the long list of issues
that come with it!
Actually, I do not want to make videoclips and send them to the List.
I think that is a mistake for several reasons.
First, the clips take too much memory.
Second, not everyone on the SignWriting List has the equipment nor
the interest to learn how to use it.
Third, we already have beautiful videos. We do not need to complicate
matters....
I have already seen the excellent videotapes that Mark Penner, in
Japan, has created. The signs are sharp and clear...they are
professional quality videos. We are not talking about home movies!
I also have professional quality videos made in a TV studio. We have,
in other words, plenty of good video material to work from....
So in the next message, I will propose my idea for lessons in
transcribing videos through the SignWriting List.
Thanks again for all your offers for help with the technical issues ;-)
Val ;-)
