Hi Andre,
Valerie is right – smile - - “This may be more time consuming than you think,”...ha
Think positive, think steps, think future ...and Tini is right L.F.F.E ;-))
Nevertheless – I am looking forward to see a second animation that can be compared with these animations I prepare years ago for our television broadcast....
Have fun!
Stefan

How kind of you, André - This may be more time consuming than you think, but if you have time and want to give it a try, that would be great. Maybe do the beginning of the Maltese sentence and then see how it looks - we can look at it to tell you if it works for us - Once you document how to do this, then maybe it will become easier for others to try animation too..
Stefan Woehrmann’s animation of the German Sign Language sentence at the beginning of his web site works well for signers even if we do not know DGS - it looks like someone is signing…and since Stefan is here on the List with us, maybe he can give us some feedback …
For those on the SignWriting List who may not realize…You can see Stefan’s animated sentences here:
Thanks so much Andre!
Val ;-)

Hello,
I could try to animate the malta long version. I suggest a full
animation, not a succession of static signs. It is more impressive and
intuitive for an outsider. An experienced sign reader would find is slow
and may prefer to see traditional static signs.
Which do you prefer? natural or traditional?
Natural animation:
It would take at least 34 illustrations. Maybe up to 40 because of pauses
between signs.
However, I will need someone to review the animation steps to ensure they
are accurate.
If natural animations are chosen, we need a decision about the eyes and
the mouth. With the current version they will be constant within a sign
but appear and disappear from one sign to the next! I suggest to revert
to default opened eyes and smile when not defined by the sign. With such
choice we get an animated face. This would take me several hours and
several démos to correct. There may not be a general consensus on the best implementation.
Traditional: It would take 1 illustration per sign, so between 10
and 15 illustrations because of pauses between signs. This would take me
1h00. So with little effort from me, people could get an idea.
I do not have the skills to translate in correct LSQ.

Dear SignWriting List -
I need your help. I would like to create a really cool banner and web page, showing the celebration of our 40 Years of Writing Sign Languages … written in different sign languages…Here is my try at writing it in ASL - Can the skilled ASL signers on the List help write it better? I am happy to have you change it -
And maybe we could also write it in DGS, NTS and maybe LSQ? and any other sign language that would like to participate - all of them would grace our web sites -
And if we could animate one of them, I could put that as the Special Feature on the front page of the SignWriting Site - any sign language animated would be great!
Here is my first try at it:
