You have a gift for storytelling with abundant and diverse classifiers, along with the ability to switch roles and perspectives so quickly and naturally! I love this story! I showed this to my ASL students and blew their minds! MORE STORIES PLEASE!!!! I BEG YOU!!!!!
I am only three semesters into learning ASL and I was enthralled with the story. Even not knowing all the signs I could tell by the classifiers and movement/placement of the body what the story was saying and how it was progressing. I laughed, I cried, it was moving and I loved it! SO expressive! Going to watch more of your stuff! 💗🤟🏽
A student was feeling sassy and this is what she wrote about the story: "So basically its snowing really hard and theres snow on the ground. Then two children, one a girl in pink and a boy in blue wow soooo original come out and start playing. Then they come up with the idea of making a snowman, like every other child. They do the generic snowman building process but oh noooo something’s missing! Its a hat. So the girl takes off her hat and puts it on the snowman and like a rip off of frosty the snowman he comes to life. He goes to find the children who now vanish from the story as he instead gets distracted by the sun, who is currently doing smash bros taunts at him. The snowman runs off to fight the sun, but the sun sinks into the shadows as it turns to night. The snowman is cold and like: “i miss the sun :(“ then the sun comes back and it goes from a frosty ripoff to an olaf ripoff. Day and night cycle happens snowman chases senpai who does not love him until the snowman suddenly starts melting. Then they make a really weird choice to have the sun start caring about the snowman right as he’s dying, which i find to be completely out of character for what was previously established. Then like jesus christ or something out from the water puddle rises the snowman who has become a cloud and they are now happily reunited until the next time it snows and/or rains. -13/10 would not recommend" we absolutely loved watching the story and exploring the different story elements, signs, classifiers, and facial expressions. Thank you, my dude!!!
Mr. Virnig: you never cease to amaze us!! Thank you for your willingness to share your talent with those of us who are striving to be even 10% as good as you!
Great story concept, well told. Another good job from a talented storyteller. Favorite part: the emotional pain of the sun, plus how you made it such a happy ending. More, Dack, more. :-)
Great story. I remember when I was first learning ASL, I saw you Mountain Dew video and had no clue what it meant. It is exciting to have come this far and be able to understand your videos. I have to go back to Mountain Dew story to see if I can understand now. I totally understood this, and for me, that is saying alot. You have great storytelling skills!
Aww! I love this story! I like everything what of you post of your story, I enjoy to watch it. I would like to watch more! You are awesome story telling!
That was absolutely transfixing...! What a story, so well told and beautiful, amazing. I'm a student as well, and didn't quite understand what the snowman morphed into. Did he become made of air? And then he and the sun lived happily ever after? Off to share this on as many platforms as possible...thank you for this story! Wonderful!
This was an amazing story! Nice use of classifiers. (Classifiers are hard for me to voice) I am practicing voicing for one of my classes and I got stuck towards the end. Did the snowman turn into air with a long nose and white arms? what happened towards the end when the snowman was on the sun?
This is amazing! I just started teaching myself ASL a few weeks ago, so a lot of these signs were unfamiliar to me, but your facial expressions and other body movements helped me understand. And it also helps that you're easy on the eyes!
This was an AWEDOME story. You give it such meaning and life. Thank you. I'm a student in SLI, so this story is kind of like a metaphor for my life right now. Just as the snowman keeps trying to reach the sun because it's in love with it; I must keep trying to learn ASL because I love it!!! :)) Thank you again, you're great! :))
This is so helpful! I'm beginning to learn sign language because I was born deaf in one ear so it's good to learn ASL just incase. Anyways I LOVED this story! It was easy to understand yet helped me learn even more!
I'm just starting as an ASL interpreter student, so I missed a lot of signs, or you went too fast for me, but I got the gist (except at the ends, after summer came), and I found myself enraptured by your storytelling, unable to pause or look away.
I'm only in my second year of ASL, I don't know every sign and every classifier, but I did manage to learn more by watching this video!! I was able to understand 90% of it! Thanks for the summary, helped me connect it a lot better, I'm going on a field trip with my ASL class, so I need to get used to signing, I'm kind of a slow signer, but it can read. I just need to process information a lot faster, and learn classifiers and facial expressions.
Way to go Zach! About time you came up with a great story to tell! Definitely sharing this with my friends/family. :) Hope you are doing great yourself!
***** I seriously don't know how I called you Zach, lol. I was talking with a friend of mine named Zach, so I think that's why I said that. My bad man.
Love this story! My ASL teacher showed us this in class! Would it be possible for you (or someone) to post the translation? I want to make sure I understood the whole story!
So the Story is about how two kids, a girl and a boy create this snow man.They decide thatthere was something missing and decide that it was a hat that was missing.So the boy puts thehat on the snow man, they decide it was good and left it.After they left the snowman camealive and is amazed that he could be.So after he, the snowman, realizes it is cold he noticesthe sun and falls in love with warmth and the sun.So he tries to chase it, for a long time, daysin fact he tries to get to the sun.Than one day he starts to melt.He, melting,becomes sad.He than appears as a cloud.And he gets to the sun again and the meet again

the way you use classifiers is so beautiful and clear. I feel like I can see the story in my mind as you're describing it, really incredible.
What a moving story! Wish this was closed captioned and I tell you this. It will be big!

Thank you for showing this video to your students! I'd love to meet your students one day and perform a story in ASL!
That was absolutely transfixing...! What a story, so well told and beautiful, amazing. I'm a student as well, and didn't quite understand what the snowman morphed into. Did he become made of air? And then he and the sun lived happily ever after?
Off to share this on as many platforms as possible...thank you for this story! Wonderful!
Brendan Carruthers Correct! He evaporated into a cloud and then fell in love with the sun. Thank you for sharing this video!
A great pleasure and privilege, Dack! Please keep producing them.

I watched this a long time ago, in ASL 1. Im in ASL 2 now...I understand a lot! I’m planning on watching it again in ASL 3 to see how far I’ve come
Brilliant Dack! I was moved... :)
ASLAndrea Thank you, Andrea :)
This is amazing! I just started teaching myself ASL a few weeks ago, so a lot of these signs were unfamiliar to me, but your facial expressions and other body movements helped me understand. And it also helps that you're easy on the eyes!
Of course, facial expression and other movements are important, too! Do not STOP learning ASL!
Loved your story and sensationally same!
So beautiful expressions
The best narrative I've seen
Congratulations
Thank you a million times!
