I found this ages ago when it was first uploaded -- still one of the best things ever. :-)
Your use of space and freezes is phenomenal - thank you for such a great story! I look forward to seeing more of them!
I'm a CODA(Child of Deaf Adults), both of my parents are deaf. I am a hearing individual and being raised by them has of course taught me another language. I was captivated by the story from start to finish. I thought it was told in a very humble and action packed kind of way. The "Matrix" camera tricks used in sign language was completely incredible. This guy should try his hand at writing a screenplay or two. Props bro', props.
Definatly make more! I loved how into the story you were... makes the sign language so much more easy to understand (as my second language). Awesome!
One of the best ASL stories I've seen in quite some time. Awesome.
golly i love this video! im studying to become a terp and it makes me feel special that i can watch your video with my friends and just laugh and everyone just stares at me and says...what's he saying..and i shrug and say...learn sign language..i cant even explain it. Gotta love it!! keep making vlogs!! i love em
I love your story! I'm just learning ASL, but you were very descriptive and I could totally follow along. You are now on my fav's list.
Best creative signed video I've seen. Post some more! ;) Shared w/ my D/HoH students and they LOVED it!
All I can say is, "This is Awesome Austin Andrews!" :) Awesome ASL Animation, man! Keep up with your creativity!!
I enjoyed all of your vids. They are quite entertaining as well as with the video editing and all. Thanks for sharing great sense of humor and stories to tell! Keep up with some interesting sight seeings of Europe. ( They are educational I must say. ;o) )
haha. What a wonderful story!!! Keep up the good work! You've found a fan in me!! I absolutely love how well you're created this story.
You should definitely make more! I love these! I am so glad that the deaf community is coming out in force, video blogging. It's the best for them cause now... we can SEE you!
You are awesome. I love the way you did the visuals. 5 stars!!
AWTIsome!
Your signs are so fluid, just because you have this intense passion for expressing yourself with your hands and facial expressions.
You're able to hear, yet you can see as a true Deafie. I'm F***KING proud of you, brother!
I can't wait for your next ASL storytelling session, so please give us all more!
Loved how visual this story was and how I was able to picture the Ninjas movements in my mind as if I was seeing it right in front of me happening. The signing for me was very clear. :)
Really great video. I've been away from Sign for almost 6 months now, and I'm sadly starting to loose it. It's great to have video's like this (I saw it in my last semester of Sign) that have great classifier use to help me get used to reading Sign again. Thanks for sharing the story of your brother (if I remember correctly).
Haha this is fabulous! You're a great storyteller and should definitely keep this up! As a hearing person I was able to understand every piece of this and cracked up quite a bit! Thanks for the entertainment :)
Absolutely amazing! I just finished ASL 1 at my university, so I understood most of it. I hope you do many, many more!
Must watch over and over and over because it's like new each time
I truly love this Ninja Story any more of it? I love it very much.
this is such a good video. we watched it in my deaf studies class and had to see if again
That was hilarious~! I loved it...I'm hearing and now some ASL, but I fully understood your story. It had me laughing out loud. Thanks for the smile~
Absolutely wonderful storytelling and creatively done.
This is fantastic. I don't have the best grasp of sign but I've seen it over and over because it's so cool to watch ^_^
Loved it! I'm actually hearing but I'm learning asl in college. Some signs were hard to understand but I really liked it! I had to translate for my mom when she asked what I was watching. Keep up the good work!
i dont really understand sign language, but your expressions and movements were fantastic! i Love ninja-ness, so i defiantly want to see more of these!!
5 stars for you and your fantastic creativity :D !!!
Wow, your skills are sooo good!! Very clear and sharp!!
Hey, it's great seeing a real ASL storyteller! Keep that up!!
That was awesome. All the expressions and use of classifiers.
You don't need to learn the all of ASL just a few basics and then you get the basics of the story. Beautifully acted and portrayed in true ASL... what a joy to watch you perform.
This BLEW ME OUT OF THE WATER!
Terrific job.
You are very good actor to share the story of deaf ninja. I like that! Keep up with your creation stories about deaf ninja.
Awe-freakin-some!! Whoa! Beautifully signed! Loved the visual effect! Thanks!!!
That was one of the most amazing things I've ever watched! It's what I imagine it would be like being deaf and watching someone mime the plot to The Matrix. That's the best 3 minutes I've spent in a long while!
This was great, it made me laugh at the end. Great job!
CZcams should have more of these vids. Very creative idea. I don't understand sign language myself, but the story seemed cool. Keep up the good work
This is by far one of my favorites utube videos!
AWTI... you sign as if you were deaf. You have deaf soul without a doubt.
I put you on myspace. *wink*
LOVE THIS, very visual, so much happy to watch it!
I know very little ASL, but I really enjoyed what I could understand. The motion and fight descriptions are incredible!
Haha! Very enjoyable! I'm so glad I learned ASL in college. This was a very well done and amusing video.
I can not believe how perfect this expression is. It amazes me how a seperation of a langage can give birth to a whole new art form that many will never understand, simply because they hear.
Excellent! Please keep making more...
That was awesome. Very original, and very dynamic.
Very impressive, Austin! This is actually more entertaining than the movie!
Hilarious and original, you should definitely make more.
I love it!!!! That is incredibly creative and excellent use of classifiers! Whoa.... very visual and I can truly feel that I am in a movie! excellent! horray!
man, I didn't understand exactly what you were saying, but it looked REALLY exciting, and I feel as though I followed the story without knowing how to sign. Your communication is fantastic.
Man, that's some great music you've got there
Lol! !! I never forget your video few year ago.
I want to see a full length feature!
i can see all the camera angles he's giving, so cool!
I can't wait for episode 2..
My bro-in law sent this after getting it from his ASL instructor...who also happened to be my ASL instructor about 4yrs ago in college.
Now it's been about 4yrs since I've seen ASL for any length. At first, I was hopelessly lost...and then, bit by bit it started to come back. Parts of it towards the end were just like old times! Wow, that was awesome!
Man I miss that. Gotta get back with the group! (and catch up. ;) )
best ALS video I have seen on you tube. thanks!
I was able to understand the gist of your story, although I still have a ways to go before I could consider myself fluent in ASL. You have quite the imagination! :-D I'll definitely check back in later to watch this again once I have a better grasp of the language.
Even without being able to understand every word though, I definitely can love and appreciate your presentational style! Those matrix style moves are awesome. :) Nunchaku hearing aids... now that is something I'd love to see!
10 plus ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ stars!!! You are the best actor ever!! I bet you are a hearing and coda. You use ASL beautifully and easily understanding. Good job and keep it up!!! Thumbs up!!!
I pretty much understood everything but I need help for the sign that was used :13 to :14. Can anyone help me??
I love the spilling blood sequence at 1:59!
Awesome video!!!
Today has made me glad I know sign. Helped a deaf couple at work today AND found this funny video. I love it! Masterful use of ASL to tell a very visual story. I agree with the other comments though; most people that browse youtube don't understand ASL, so an accompanying video with the translation/subtitles would be fantastic.
Your signing skills are unbeatable.
I don't know sign language, but just looking at his posture and the positioning of his hands I can already see a story. It's wonderful you're trying to catch out to the less gifted by telling a story, bravo! D5
Great ASL story. I enjoy watching yours. If you can dream up with any superhero story. It would be awesome to see stories you drum up with.
i like that ur hearing doesnt effect ur other senses
Love your use of classifiers! WOW. Very creative! ENCORE ENCORE
or subtitles... so those of us who know a little ASL can learn as well. you definitely have a wonderfully expressive character... MORE PLEASE!
that is the most incredible thing, I understand no sign language what so ever but I got it, understood what was happening. the imagery was great!
Great Job!
I am doing research on Role Shifting in ASL. Thanks for this video, it's going to make for good studies!
I know someone involved in making films for the deaf. These films are all signed. They are captioned for the hearing.
is this video available to any one ? cause its not available for me can any one help?
Captivated. My hearing eyes were delighted.
I'd be delighted to sign that well someday!
This video deserves a mention. This is an interesting way of storytelling. Too bad that I don't know hand signs. Keep up the good work!
I don't understand sign but he seems to tell the story very well! So much energy!
this is absolutely amazing, get some more videos uploaded already!
Hearing, from Hearing upbringing...but I still was able to get the gist of some of the story thanks to your facial expressions, body language, and classifiers. You make me want to learn Sign Language so I could understand more.
Hey Austin,
As usual, I loved your animated story. I'm sure your brother (W) is proud to see this. Too bad I have two left thumbs or I would take you on ninja style.
i do not no ASL at all nor any other SL for that matter but it was very nice watching you!! your facial expressions were the most entertaining for me. i only have a clue about the story you are telling, but i was laughing here and there because of how you delivered it! you should be an actor ;) and subtitles would be distracting. i also think as an ordinary person that your signing was not too fast & i could at least guess some words/phrases!! it was nice watching you!
I don't know sign language but i think its good that your making videos for the deaf goodjob!
I love stuff with subtitles, and seeing that I already like this, I can't imagine how this would rock with subtitles...^^
Hey, I'm from Australia and this video is my utterly favourite! I can understand some of your ASL and the body language is amazing!
For those who are critising for not having the captions - well, the simple answer is that you guys should watch his body language. And to translate a bit: his grandparent wore a very old technology with box with ear tubes that used to hear stuff like modern "Cochlear" but much more older. What he means...
CHAMP, best pic sign lang I ever see, I was told that you are hearing, we should be proud that you are one of the best sign lang in our community, I would love to see more of you,
This was an amazing video, im learning american sign language and it was great to watch, i hope to see more in the future. :)
why do i have the feeling that, hes just macking up stuff with his hands?
I'm taking an ASL intensive class. I'm at about level 2 right now and I enjoyed this video so much! :)
That's so cool! I like your matrix style of ASL.
JT
love his movement,
Awesome ASL and story!
...I have now idea what you've just signed to me, so I'll just assume it was the most amazing thing I've ever been told!
That was AMAZING!!!
I enjoyed that vid very much. The part with the raindrop in slow motion made me laugh.
Nice video! Fantastic moves!
Wish I could understand it all though.. Took some classes on sign language many years ago.
A shame I didn't do any follow up.
Good stuff man! Keep it up.
This is the best !!! LOVE !!!
you're awesome, i wish i could understand all of it, but sadly my ASL is a little rusty even though school JUST ended a month and a half ago...
Oh my god that was awesome! im easily entertained but i loved the story! im hearing but becoming an interpreter and just loved that!!!
wow! i loved this story! I am learning ASL, so i couldn't understand everything, but i loved the classifiers!
i completely agree. I dont know a single bit of sign language but im glad he didnt put subtitles on it.
can someone tell me what he said
That was WOW!! You make "THE MATRIX" look like old visual storytellling. This new, modern! Great!
I LOVE THE CLASSIFIERS USED!!!!
amazing. i can't stop wathcing it. the ending is hilarious.
I don't know much sign, but even watching him was enough entertainment.
