    I found this ages ago when it was first uploaded -- still one of the best things ever. :-)

    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.

    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.

  • @deafgagirl
    @deafgagirl 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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*

  • @darzil90
    @darzil90 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @camillenr1
    @camillenr1 13 ปีที่แล้ว +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!

  • @deafredbear
    @deafredbear 18 ปีที่แล้ว

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

  • @abcohende

    TH-cam 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

  • @oysterlily
    @oysterlily 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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 :)

  • @VavaBeeb
    @VavaBeeb 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    5 stars for you and your fantastic creativity :D !!!

    this is such a good video. we watched it in my deaf studies class and had to see if again

  • @hulagirl77
    @hulagirl77 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    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~

  • @danthemanium
    @danthemanium 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I liked this video, even though i didn't understand one word!
    Deaf people probably search TH-cam and get really pissed off that they can't hear what's being said (based on the fact that the video doesn't have subtitles). There should be more videos like this one.
    Well done :D

  • @Saharra742
    @Saharra742 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @WLiteAngel

    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.

  • @nekoboi17
    @nekoboi17 18 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @sailboatfreak65
    @sailboatfreak65 16 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @ama525
    @ama525 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    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).

  • @johnesco

    I know very little ASL, but I really enjoyed what I could understand. The motion and fight descriptions are incredible!

  • @TheEggBeast
    @TheEggBeast 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    ...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!!!

  • @DoctOrbuu
    @DoctOrbuu 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    I enjoyed that vid very much. The part with the raindrop in slow motion made me laugh.

  • @Swimgamez
    @Swimgamez 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @ny152cj
    @ny152cj 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is one of best.. Very clean story, All involve with Construction Action, I try to do this myself, but Impossible.. This is your original, no one can copy you..Btw, I'm deaf and I do lot of work for CDI involve with gestures for my interpreting job. Awesome!

  • @Cuthawolf

  • @krystalb2000
    @krystalb2000 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @bigblueyes

  • @cuzsis
    @cuzsis 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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. ;) )

  • @daffymommy

  • @KyabuPaks
    @KyabuPaks 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @IMPAIREDPRODUCTIONS

  • @inkiepinkie1
    @inkiepinkie1 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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!

  • @StudlyStudmuffin
    @StudlyStudmuffin 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

  • @contron

    @lvlycomatosejane 11 ปีที่แล้ว +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. :)

  • @mechamudzilla
    @mechamudzilla 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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...

  • @Snuffymoon
    @Snuffymoon 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now you people understand how does it feel when youre not understand that theres no subtitles on while deaf use sign language, so hearing movie should be have subtitles on it so deaf people could understand.

  • @DanielHarcha
    @DanielHarcha 16 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you dont know sign language, it shuts you out.
    it kind of gives you the perspective of being deaf, in a sense.

    Deaf ninja
    For the hearing
    (an interpretation from someone who can't read sign)
    in the beginning there was a ninja. The ninja who was true of heart
    and skilled in the black arts. The ninja's senses were all hightened to a great degree --all except one.
    he ninja may not have been able to hear, but he made up for it with a device strapped to his chest unlike any other.
