    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.

  • @darzil90
    @darzil90 Před 16 lety

    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!

  • @IMPAIREDPRODUCTIONS
    @IMPAIREDPRODUCTIONS Před 17 lety

  • @nekoboi17
    @nekoboi17 Před 17 lety

    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.

  • @deafedteacher97

    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) )

  • @KyabuPaks
    @KyabuPaks Před 13 lety

    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!

  • @lvlycomatosejane
    @lvlycomatosejane Před 11 lety +2

    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. :)

  • @ama525
    @ama525 Před 13 lety

    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).

  • @oysterlily
    @oysterlily Před 16 lety

    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 :)

  • @logos47

    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 ^_^

  • @inkiepinkie1
    @inkiepinkie1 Před 15 lety

    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!

  • @VavaBeeb
    @VavaBeeb Před 16 lety

  • @munke2112
    @munke2112 Před 15 lety

    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.

    Awe-freakin-some!! Whoa! Beautifully signed! Loved the visual effect! Thanks!!!

  • @rubbergumby
    @rubbergumby Před 16 lety

    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!

  • @lissar7
    @lissar7 Před 15 lety

    This was great, it made me laugh at the end. Great job!

  • @superbolli

    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

  • @deafgagirl
    @deafgagirl Před 15 lety

  • @daffymommy

  • @StudlyStudmuffin
    @StudlyStudmuffin Před 11 lety +2

    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.

  • @jbeaudin2

  • @mechamudzilla
    @mechamudzilla Před 16 lety

    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.

  • @cuzsis
    @cuzsis Před 15 lety

    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. ;) )

  • @Rin4Christ
    @Rin4Christ Před 17 lety

    best ALS video I have seen on you tube. thanks!

  • @krystalb2000
    @krystalb2000 Před 16 lety

    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!

  • @Tallguyinca
    @Tallguyinca Před 15 lety

    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!!!

  • @mariposa281

  • @Swimgamez
    @Swimgamez Před 16 lety

    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.

  • @contron
    @contron Před 17 lety

    Your signing skills are unbeatable.

  • @d5800877351
    @d5800877351 Před 16 lety

    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

  • @WLiteAngel
    @WLiteAngel Před 17 lety

  • @grimmalkin
    @grimmalkin Před 15 lety

    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.

  • @outsider3c
    @outsider3c Před 17 lety

    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.

  • @camillenr1
    @camillenr1 Před 13 lety +1

    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!

  • @Trooper41
    @Trooper41 Před 16 lety

    @aussieartist Před 15 lety

    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...

  • @sailboatfreak65
    @sailboatfreak65 Před 15 lety
