Good for hearing people… Presentation on Laurent

I gave a presentation at Edmonds Community College in Lynnwood, Washington last spring to a crowd of over 100 people, and the presentation was videotaped by the college. They generously shared a copy with us. I had a really cool beard at that time… Ok, ok… not cool — moving on.The video is really ideal for hearing people because the camera did not stay on me most of the time so a lot of my signing were not visible, and the presentation is not captioned. Greg Frohriep, a deaf businessman and an owner of CaptWorks has graciously agreed to caption the video for us, and as soon as we receive it, we will share with y’all.

And, I adjust my presentation style according to the audience. More hearing folks, I downshift. More deaf folks, I go like, “Warp Factor 7, Mr. Sulu!” And no interpreter — living or dead — would be able to keep up with me. ;-)

Or, download for your video iPod (QuickTime .MP4).

    Suggestion to improve viewing experience:This is one freakin’ long video! :-) For long-running video (greater than 5 minutes), I would suggest you using Flash video (.flv). This way, I can watch a few minutes at a time then come back and jump to a later point in the video and start to watch from that point. No need to have to wait for the whole video to reload since it’ll start to load video from that point on timeline that I click on.

    It is in flash video, isn’t it? It appears as a Flash video to me and I added another link for iPod mpeg-4 video format. Please let me know if I am missing something here.Marvin

    Hi! I’m a hearing, and beginner in ASL class (just started two weeks ago). I turned off the sounds. Of course, I don’t understand anything but I loved your facial expressions! I apparently just cannot stop gaping..Is there any way to save the video file? I want to show it to my ASL classmates.
