Teri discusses the sign, "system" in ASL.  Pretty awkward isn't it?

Teri discusses an article, "Diversity Powers Innovation" written by Scott Page and compares  it to Joey & DE's video clips, " Looking at the Bigger Picture" & its' Part Two.

Think different.

The video clip discusses a response to Joey's video clip, "Looking At the Bigger Picture", a Zen story, "Successor", and its interpretation — how does it apply to the deaf people.

Wayne Betts Jr. Film, "Blue Sheet" 

Aidan Mack Film, "Deja Vu"

Gary Brooks, "Why Deaf Films Failed" 

Update: This video clip is not intended to put Aidan or any deaf filmmakers down. I just want to share my perspective after watching both films by Aidan & Wayne, and discuss the copyright issue — how is it compared to a Zen story, "Working Hard".  I certainly hope this conceptual story will help people understand the issue and how I feel what's going on in the deaf vlogland. Hope it helps deaf filmamkers realize that they need to work harder and be different! :)

*It is okay to copy a concept as long as you give due credits*

Deafridge Tom's video clip, "Solve Mystery" is a perfect example of using the same concept of Wayne's film, yet the whole storyline is about totally different.  It is with a twist.  Not to mention, Tom includes the titles and filmmakers' names showing where and who he got the idea from on his post. Bravo, Tom & Dustin!
 

Note: I decided to remove the video presentation, "Copyright". I realized it is a class assignment that my professor asked to use as an example for this and next several sessions and the data rate were already affected.

My homage (with a slight twist) to the All American Girl Lucy Ricardo and her Cuban musician husband Ricky Ricardo, Bill and Teri explore the wonderful life of two worlds (hearing and deaf) colliding. Baa-ba-loo Everybody!

Hey readers,

I produced two video clips — the first one on the worst ASL vLog Fest, and the second one on a brand new series, "I Love Teri" discussing several issues of deaf spouses married to hearies. 

Like the All American Girl Lucy Ricardo and her Cuban musician husband Ricky Ricardo, Bill and Teri explore the wonderful life of two worlds colliding. Baa-ba-loo Everybody!

Whoa! I missed the deafvlogland fun yesterday (Worst ASL vLog Fest).  ASL vLogs in sport! Yes, I made one — wanted to join you great vloggers!

 

Why was I late?

I was gone to Ventura/Santa Barbara for two days with CSDR Track & Field runners, who were qualified for Southern CA Finals. I did not get home until around 11 PM last night. 

It took me almost two hours reading all my favorite blogs and vlogs. And I went ahead making a video around 1 o'clock this morning (1 AM, yes it was one hour after midnight). I thought up some ideas — mostly based on my previous entries. 

Figure it out!?!

Hope it is not toooooo late!

I MAY make the worst ever ASL video post later after the family event this special day. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Update (5/13, 7:45 PM): All of a sudden, I do not feel well.  I will not be able to make another video clip or respond comments/emails tonight. I guess I need some rest.  G'nite.
