Hi guys!
I'm Victor, i need your help for a shortfilm that i'm directing. The main issue is that the actresses don't know ASL, so i need to give them a video with the proper translation of the script so they can learn the signs.
Sadly i haven't found anyone in my city that can help me translating the normal grammar into ASL grammar, so that's why i'm here.
The only thing i need is the grammar, then i will find how to express each word and send them the video with me doing the signs.
The ASL part of the script is really short, so it won't take much time. If you think there's a shorter word that express the same (that doesn't translate letter by letter), please use it, so they can learn it faster, the less signs the better.
This is it:

Girl 1 - "By the way, i want to go to France, what do you think?"
Girl 2 - "I think it's an excellent idea! I've always wanted to go there! when do you want to go?"
Girl 1 - "I was planning on going on April, I've heard it's cold but bearable, it's ok?"
Girl 2 - "Awesome! i think that's even more romantic"

If you like, i can put whoever helps in the credits. :P
 
You don't know any deaf people? Why are you making an ASL film?

You should use deaf actors for deaf parts.
 
Because i need an specific kind of actress, 2 of them, and also the "Foundations" here doesn't do much to help, they are located on a dangerous zone of my city (Caracas, one the most violent on the world) and they're always closed. I've send them emails and no one answers. One of the actress lives literally on the next street of ALL the Foundations of the city, and all of them are in Lock-Down mode.

I hear they're teaching ASL in some Latin countries.

I used to work with a Peruvian immigrant and she knew some ASL... (she didn't learn it while in US)

I actually know a Peruvian who knows ASL and BSL, but that still leaves a film being made by a hearing person with no deaf people and the wrong language for his country.
 
It's a Short Film, the point of doing one is to send it to festivals, and all of them are outside the country.
 
how about making a film about chinese people and use negroes as actors? is that wrong?
 
seem victorinox126 unaware on some few to how ASL grammar structure, but
serious.


as well you are hearing person correct.. as matter you research ASL :)

interesting VSL I will search myself I do it I will myself cheer! I study research ,ASL,BSL,LSQ,JSL, alots of study pretty confidential. not yet VSL
 
travis, NO ! NO ! NO!, the OP wanted to USE HEARING PEOPLE TO DO ASL on FILM, that's cheeky...we all told him to sod off...so he left...

none of us like the idea of hearing stars to pretend to be Deaf (and sign ASL or whatever), its not appropriate.

Learning ASL is for communication with d/Deaf people, not for making films as show off or pretending.

OK people pretend to be doctors, and you certainly dont get white americans making Inca-speaking films
different

Why don't you fly to Caracas to be part in his film. You are completely NOT in lock-down mode. :hmm:
