Grieve-Smith SignWriting List December 4, 2000 Actually Angus, I don't believe that Stefan's second animation (the magician) was a signed language. If one reads the Movement Writing correctly, he is writing Mime and Gesture. Perhaps there were a few German signs thrown into the Mime, but generally he was notating movement used in acting out how someone moves while doing a performance... He shows the magician juggling balls, moving his hat up and down...his head separates from his shoulders for minute, looking like he was miming "falling down", and he was using facial expressions to show shouting, fear, joy and excitement... I want to thank Stefan for learning Movement Writing as well as SignWriting, because animating Mime and Gesture is a wonderful way to introduce the writing system in general. Now, Stefan, if I have mis-read your animation, just tell us!! It would be great to know what you had in mind ;-)) I think the magician is a charming fellow! | ||||||||
