message - I am so sorry to confuse all of you! Below is the correct message with the correct attachment...smile SignWriting List June 18, 2000 Hello Wayne and Everyone! I am really impressed with how clearly you wrote the important elements of the first two signs on the video, Wayne... I have been meaning to tell you that for a long time - sorry for the delay! Although I am still in the middle of putting a course together, I am not done and meanwhile you all are waiting for my feedback...so I am giving you the feedback now without the web site ready. I will get back to that later. Here is the first sign that Wayne wrote, plus three of the frames captured from the video. You can see there were some facial expressions. Of course, all these facial expressions are done very quickly. We end up seeing the facial expression on the last position more clearly, because there is an instinctive pause at the end of each sign, and it is in that pause that we see the facial expression the best. When I say a pause, I do not mean a REAL pause...I mean a fraction of a second where the ending position is held an extra frame or two, to give the feeling of finality to the movement. We all do that when we sign, we just don't realize it because it is so fast and so subtle. So I attach this with this question to Wayne and the others taking the course... Do you feel a facial expression is necessary with this sign? If so, how would you write it? ;-) | |||||
