Hello ASL Heroes!!!
Hey, I could really use your help.
If you’ve enjoyed having access to an expert in ASL you can help me continue my work for you.
A small monthly donation from you would instantly make a big difference here at the studio because teachers don’t earn much and I could use some help paying for server and domain hosting for Lifeprint.com.
Right now you can help out a humble (not to mention kind, caring, generous, compassionate, helpful, friendly, fair, and hard-working) ASL teacher -- just go here and a few clicks later you too will be a true “ASL Hero!”

Growing up, I never knew or met any deaf people. Till 5 or so years ago we got deaf neighbors a few doors down. I helped them with a car issue once and we got to know each other since. In a short time I picked up a little sign from them. One day I was in a store and a person waved me down in an aisle and tried to ask me a question. I noticed his hearing aid and began to use what little sign I knew, then realized I knew more than I thought. He wanted my opinion on choosing a color of spray paint for his son's bike. I was able to understand and help him out and it was a good feeling. Since then I have been using these videos to learn even more. Thank you for the work and the time it takes to make these videos.
You don't just teach us lots of vocabulary, you make us practice it. You're an incredible language teacher. Thanks so much!!
I think everyone should learn ASL. I just wish it was more universal for other countries.
Akron, Ohio.
Believe it or not, there are over 300+ ways of signing all over the world, crazy stuff!
Bill! I just want to say THANK YOU. Your lessons have been a tremendous help. I have had a boost in confidence in my signing and I understand you so well. I also have had practice with actual members of the deaf community. They were so patient and helpful too!
Yesterday I had a consultation with a deaf lady and was able to sign back and forth to help her get products she needed. Secondly, there's a lady who works at the grocery store I go to who is deaf. Every time I go to the store and check out, I go to her lane. We are both happy to see each other and communicate. Because of you, I am able to make more connections with people. Thank you Bill.
I just want to thank you, Dr. Bill! Our beach neighbor was having trouble putting up his tent, so we helped him out. Realized he was deaf, and I couldn't communicate with him at all. So I started watching your videos. A couple weeks later, we saw him again , and I could actually have a basic conversation with him (not "deaf guy", found out his name is Zachary, who moved to here from Maryland to go to school for film production!) It was a struggle...lots of "spell please"...ok, "spell slow", but I'm so glad I found your YT channel! You made it possible for me to make a new friend.
Just don't understand when people down voted to the free lessons online?? Thank you Dr. Bill for sharing your knowledge with us all.
I appreciate the higher restitution videos but I miss Katelyn...and it seems to be different lesson contents (going back). I still love the videos, thank you!
Why was I trying to turn up the volume😂😂
ikr i was doing the same
You are such a great teacher, and make it fun...... I am a hearing person, but every day I spend about 2 hours to 3 hours watching your lessons..... You are the greatest Guru in the Universe. At the beginning I only learn as I am ill and always in pain, so I kill my time by study anything in the internet. Than I found yours. I am stuck here.. I enjoy it very much sir.
I know what it's like to have chronic pain! I know everyone says that and it's really annoying. I am not by any means claiming to completely understand you situation, but I "feel you" to some extent. God bless you!
I studder a lot so sign language is so much more easier then speaking, thank you! !!!!!!
Try Marijuana
I grew up surrounded by deaf and hard of hearing kids,new asl,but lost interest. Now I really regret forgetting half of my asl memory. Thank you so much for helping me remember.
I love these videos. This doesn't just teach me ASL but also the understanding of the deaf community since I'm hearing. I feel sign language should be something you have to learn in school. That would be fun and of course learn other languages.
Just like teaching spanish and French the schools should teach asl too. Who knows many of them want to learn asl.
Because of you and your videos I'm able to speak with my Deaf aunt more freely. Because of my work schedule I can't make it to classes that are taught in my area (Toronto, Ontario). Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just want to say "Thank YOU" for all of your videos. I have wanted to learn sign language for years, and just last week I decided its time! Your '100 Basic Words' was the very first video I watched. Love your personalty...you make it FUN! I wish I could take lessons in person, but this is the next best thing! God bless you and keep you....Hugs
+Elise Peterson He really does make it fun.
For sure! I just took a real interest about 2 weeks ago. Picking it up really fast. Just need to find ppl around me to sign with! :)
Yea...Its hard finding mates to sign with. But its weird because some of the popular boys at school want me to tech them XD
What is XD?
+Elise Peterson a big smile with eyes closed = XD
Loving the camera quality in this post!
WOW THIS IS LIKE TRULY AMAZING!!! THIS HELPS ME SO SO MUUUUCH . I REALLY HAD 2 LAUGHT ON BILLS JOKES SO MANY TIMES😂 AND I LEARNED!!😍👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
It’s been almost 3 years since I’ve taken a full year of an ASL class. I was really bummed that I couldn’t end up taking more at the time. I still remember a handful of what I learned and am now wanting to continue to learn the language. I found a perfect level to continue from! ASL is such a beautiful and fun language. I hope to become fluent one day! Thank you Dr. Bill!!
Growing up I was rejected by deaf people when I was at a young age and when I was in HS i got a few deaf friends before they went to college and I was by myself during HS. But I got through it by pushing myself through the barriers that I had during my young ages. When we moved to Gibsonia i had no deaf friends around where I live so ive been going to group Tuesday and Thursday and I'm very comfortable at stellar.
hi you r the best asl teacher i ve seen in my life .i wish i had seen these videos before .i ve been enjoying these videos for a week and i want to watch all of them .learning asl is really fun with such a great teacher.thank you very much
Just came from ASL 1 and I am so pumped that the video quality is 100x better!
Sir I've been watching your videos for quite a time now and this is the first time I'm commenting 😅 but I just wanted to thank you for these videos. They're so helpful and you're a great mentor!! Thank you!!!😄
this is great for my school!
you make so many awesome video's you are amazing
+Aurora Fields
And I'm humble too.
Heh.
Spent the last 15 week doing Lessons 1-15. Thank you for putting this up on UA-cam. I bought the LifePrint CD with these lessons on it (the big one), but it sure is handy to have these on UA-cam so I can practice on the go. My current laptop has no CD drive, so I had to hook up an external drive to use the DVD--now that these are on UA-cam, I don't have to worry about it. And I'm glad I supported you anyway, Bill, by buying the DVD! :)
Thank you Dr. Vicars! Helped me to understand when to use before and past!
Hi Mr. Bill Vicars...My name is Rissa. I watch your videos all the time. I am a full time ASL student in Dayton, Ohio and I was talking to a Deaf Sub we had the other day his name was Scott and I was asking him if he had seen any of your videos. I told him your hearing status and the region SAC Why? because he was telling us a little of his history and he said he was an old classmate of yours in the past. I will try to re-comment with his last name a different time but his name is Scott and he is a hard of hearing teacher of ASL at Sinclair Comm College in Dayton, Ohio. I just want to say thanks to you for all your videos they really help me with studying at home. and your signs are the best in relation to what I learn at home. I hope you keep up your work and Thank You so much. I can't believe how small the world is I have been spreading the word about your videos and how much of a reinforcement they are to the ITP and ASL programs. They would be great for hearing parents of new born Deaf children as well. I have recommended your videos to 3 hearing adults in relation to children in their life that are Deaf. I really hope parents of hearing children will access the native Deaf language for their children's sake.
Thanks for all of these lesson Professor Vicars, I have been studying all of these videos and it helps me communicate with deaf people at my work! =)
many thanks Dr Bill .
In sign language class we always watch this because we always gave these lessons for test. Luckily ASL is fun and easy to learn and I might be able to do it again next year hopefully.
Thank you so much for these videos! I started watching them in January of this year and have been trying to watch at least a little bit each day. They have been so helpful and I am excited to expend my knowledge! I have been also attending ASL Meet-ups (until COVID-19, of course) and I could not have been able to communicate at all without you.
Nice! Thank you for uploading this. The video quality is great, too. I can see a lot more detail and follow the handshapes better. Thanks!!!!
Thank you for yet another great post!!
Thank you so much! ALL of your videos have been a great help! I taught my best friend the alphabet in sign language and now we just it to talk in class😂😊
I love your videos! Thanks for sharing.
I have learned so much from Bill! Thank you for being so informative, sharing, and funny! You are a great teacher. Thank you so much:)
You are so welcome. My pleasure.
Wicked wardrobe change at 43:33. Superman, eat your heart out!
thank you thank you thank you for making these videos free. This is a such an amazing resource and the world is better for it
Hello Bill, your lessons for ASL is amazing, I love it. It make ASL easy to learn with you.
Thank you , Mr. Vicars. You are Amazing! 💖
Thank you for spending your weekend working on the website for us :)
Learning so much. So helpful.
I took ASL about 15 years ago for my language requirement at college. I just got placed as a sub teacher in the baby room 1 1/2 to 3 years old. Your videos are saving my butt. I'm hoping to stay on schedule and complete a course every two weeks. I'm so grateful for all your work. My coworker keep telling me how fast I'm progressing. I know it's you and lifeprint.com that are making it possible.
+seastorm12 I see I forgot to say it's a deaf baby room.
Had the privlage of taking his course at Sac State back in 2010 ish. One of the best Teachers ever.
Thank Brian!
That makes my day!
I hope life has been great for you!
Excelsior!
@@sign-language tell them all to remember to study! 😎
Absolutely amazing! I love your lesson plans and flow. I like this set for the video quality and excellent choice of student to work with. I can tell she is genuinely interested and appears to be having a great time... and really not bad on the eyes either ;-)
These two are amazing
Great video! Thank you!
omg. finally i can translate few sentences with sign language
excellent!! thank you very much. Hope to meet you one day. Hancock
It looked like your fall joke...FELL flat 😅.
Thanks for the content, learning a lot!
The trick is to fall flat with style.
If you can't do it with style then at least do it with conviction.

Hello! I'm a college student, and I'm currently in ASL 2. I also work at a restaurant in Tulsa. I was wondering if you could do a lesson on different phrases and words used in a restaurant. It'd be a great help! Thank you!
i found out why the signs are different.. He as you point out knows the old ESL and mixed New ASL so I wanted to get back on this.. I am watching you everyday now. Sorry for the miss understanding on my part.
At 43:33 when she changes clothes but Bill is still in all black
😂
I started learning on Saturday last weekend and I can do a couple of sentences but of course I have some misstates now all my friends know how to do what's your name
Congrats SSS Lapu Lapu ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
The Oracle! Dr V
Alot of new signs I didn't know. I was using old signs the whole time. Last time I signed was in school way back in the 80s
The language does indeed keep evolving. Not super fast but definitely evolving. I think it is good for ASL interpreters to learn both the older versions and the newer versions so as to be very flexible and able to interpret for a variety of clients.
Best wishes to you in your studies.
@@sign-language I'm born hard of hearing went to deaf school at 1st then when I had hearing aids I went to oral school to kean how to talk. Needless to say I got in a lot of trouble back then lol
amazing
Thanks
How often are these videos being uploaded? I'm waiting until I get to lesson 16 with Katelyn then I'm moving on to this HD version :D Glad you uploaded this!
why, depending on the device i use to watch these videos, they are sometime subtittle and other times they are not??
What about "first" grade? Would you use the "wrist twist" version? And would you do that for other grades as well?
While you may see some variety throughout the Deaf Community on the ordinal counting of the grades (first, second, third...) -- in general I recommend the "twist" version of "1st" for the concept of "1st grade" as well as most of the other grades.
For example: "Fourth grade"
See: ua-cam.com/video/dGwB8P_XtOE/v-deo.html
I recommend that "twist" version of the ordinal numbers up through 9th grade. Beyond that point I do the cardinal number followed by a fingerspelled "TH."
Finally HD!
51:37 At this point you signed midnight so my question would be how would you sign it in military time (midnight being 00:00 and noon being 1200 and four being 1600) is there a way or would it just be the civilian time?
Military time is not a common enough topic for it to have a widely followed rule but as the father of a son currently serving in the army my wife (who is also Deaf) would just sign "16" HUNDRED HOUR if I needed to specify the corresponding military time.
However, we are discussing three different languages here (functionally). Or two languages (English and ASL) and a dialect (or lingo).
English
Military
ASL
The question here is really, "How can we use ASL to directly map to military lingo in regard to clock time?"
At that point we are no longer interpreting but rather we are translating and will sign 16 HUNDRED HOUR in context. The context is important. Otherwise we need to specify we are discussing military time.
this may be a stupid question so feel free to ignore but to sign winter you use cold with or without the W form but could you do the same with summer? to say that it is a hot summer day you use an S shape well signing hot?
Hello Casey!
I think that is a great question!
The short answer is: No.
The medium answer is: Well, gee, you can sign anything you want, wave your hands in the air wildly, and run around like a lunatic - but if you want to have successful conversations in the Deaf Community it is best to sign in ways that are similar to the signing being done by socially active adult Deaf native signers.
The longer answer involves a couple of big (but fun) words:
1. disambiguation
2. differentiation
If a situation is ambiguous it means that it is unclear, inexact, and open to interpretation.
Disambiguation is a fancy way of saying to make something more clear so there is no confusion about it. After a thing or situation has been disambiguated it is then unambiguous or easy to interpret.
Differentiation is just a fancy way of saying to make something different.
We can use differentiation to help accomplish disambiguation.
In other words we can make things obviously different in order to avoid errors in interpretation and reduce misunderstanding.
For example:
A person can differentiate the sign COLD by adding “W” handshapes to specify the concept of “winter.”
COLD + “W”-handshape = WINTER (unambiguous)
COLD + “S” handshapes = “cold” or “winter” [but defaults to “cold”]
An alternate way of differentiating “winter from cold” (other than adding a “W” handshape) is to rely on context.
COLD (signed with “S” handshapes) + “context” = WINTER
A third way of differentiating “winter from cold” is to use a mouth movement that looks as if you are pronouncing the word “winter.”
So, you need either a difference in handshape, a mouth movement, and/or context to differentiate WINTER from COLD.
You may be asking yourself: Why in the world would someone choose to sign COLD without “W” handshapes with the intent of creating the meaning of “winter?” Why would someone deliberately (on purpose) choose to sign in a more ambiguous (less clear) way?
A few reasons:
1. Globality: Your signing of WINTER would be more global in nature if you do it with “S” hands. Greater numbers of signers of languages other than ASL would recognize your sign more readily because a significant number of signed languages use a shaking of fists sign to mean “winter.”
(See www.lexico.com/en/definition/globality)
(See “spreadthesign(dot)com” and look up WINTER)
2. Simplicity: The “W” handshape is slightly more complex and requires a micro (extremely small) bit more effort to do that an “S” handshape.
3. Conventionality: “(of a person) concerned with what is generally held to be acceptable at the expense of individuality and sincerity.” (Source: Lexico)
4. Cachet: “The state of being respected or admired; prestige.” (Source: Lexico)
Think of conventionality as being “herd mentality” or going along with the herd. Many others are doing it this way so I’d better do it this way even though it seems stupid to me and is less clear.
Cachet is (arguably) the real reason (in this situation) for choosing ambiguity over clarity. Whether they admit it or not, most people crave respect and admiration. We want to be part of the “in” crowd. We want to be one of the “cool kids” and if we can’t be then at least we want to be quirky enough to be admired for being avant-garde.
(Avant-garde means “Favoring or introducing experimental or unusual ideas.” Source: Lexico).
In other words what we give up in clarity of our signing we get back in cachet.
Our formula or recipe thus becomes:
COLD (signed with “S” hands) + “context” = “winter” + a smidgen of ambiguity + cachet
(If you don’t know what the word smidgen means - look it up.)
Getting back to the question of “Can we sign SUMMER by doing the HOT sign with an ‘S’ handshape?”
I told you this was the long answer but the answer is still “no.”
The reason though is because we don’t need to disambiguate the sign SUMMER from the sign HOT because the sign SUMMER is already differentiated by handshape, location, and movement.
In other words, if it isn’t broken - don’t fix it.
More specifically, let’s not change ASL just to satisfy the desire for convenience of Hearing English-as-a-first-language speakers who want to mentally link ASL to their native language for ease of learning and retention. Instead we can form more organic or natural memory aids such as associating the sign SUMMER with wiping sweat from one’s brow during the hot days of summer.
I get it. It’s natural for second language learners to want to link to their first language. The human brain seeks to make sense of things. Our brains form links and organize data into patterns to make it easier to remember things.
To be clear, (or to disambiguate, heh) I actually applaud (or rather - wave my hands in the air like a lunatic) the fact that you are thinking about and seeking ways to learn, remember, and use ASL. Keep it up!
Somtimes and discuss look very similar. Is the size of the circle the difference or is it just based on context?
The dominant hand in the sign SOMETIMES uses an elliptical orbit that becomes larger when the occurrence is less frequent and tighter when the occurrence is relatively more frequent.
The dominant hand in DISCUSS tends to move straight up and down and the index finger is parallel to the palm.

Anyone have suggestions on how to get friends and family to take ASL Lessons? Stop talking to them? ;)
My hearing has been in decline for over 20 years, yet no one understands the seriousness of it. ASL doesn't do me any good at home, if no one else participates. Frustrating.
You might want to send the following info to everyone on your email list and post it to your social media accounts -- that way the people in your social circle might decided to learn ASL (for free) and you will have more people with whom to sign.

=================================
could you also make a playlist (or videos) on how to sign and look like a native instead of a student? it sometimes gets confusing watching these when you sign like you normally would for say student where you would sign the book going up to the head then make the person and watching the student do the full sign. I feel it would both be beneficial and make signing more efficient. (tell me if this explanation doesn't make sense and ill try to add more context to it.)
Casey,
I agree totally. I like your idea. It would be good to have a set of videos specifically focusing on casual, clipped, or abbreviated versions of signs as are common in Deaf to Deaf signing.
If you haven't watched the "Assimilation" video yet you might want to check that out.
ua-cam.com/video/BP8b9CH6gP0/v-deo.html
Again -- I think your idea has merit and might even make a nice "preface" to the main playlist. Not sure when I'll be able to get such a video or set of videos produced (due to my current project list being sort of long) but eventually I would love to have such a playlist.
Hey do you make worksheets/vocab lists for each unit?? I'm going to be watching a lot more of your videos bc I'm not working at the Deaf nursing home rn (bc of school). I don't want to get rusty, so I want to make sure I practice!
The ASLUniversity Practice sheets can be found over at:

Looks like Bill pressed the "change outfit" button at 43:32 lol.
I am left handed and when i sign 1/2 hour it’s backwards. Should i sign going the other way like a clock?
Unless you are double jointed (heh) I reckon you'd best stick with signing "half-hour" by doing a mirror version of the right-handed version.
Who is William vicars???
Thanks so much for your videos
For number 5, could you also sign "SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, YOU PREFER WHICH?
Yes.
@ 1:09 you (i think) corrected a student for twisting the wrist all the way around. My question is could you do that (if it is comfortable to you like it is for me don't ask how it just is) and still be understood?
Absolutely.
I consider the "twist wrist" version to be an alternate version. Please visit my website and check out the "hour" page.
See: www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/h/hour.htm
Scroll down on that page and you will see me showing the twist wrist version and commenting on why I prefer the non-twist wrist version.
Also check out the numerical incorporation examples.
My son is deaf. He told me that some of the signs are not correct. Can you please explain? He said she signed sad and it is dark not sad? he knows signed English and ASL I am going to College to learn correct and get my degree. I am only looking on line to see how to place the words correctly. thanks
laschell59 I assume that it is similar to having phrases only some parts of the country speak. For example, I'm from New England, and "wicked" is an extremely common phrase. In the south, not so much. Different areas develop their language differently, even if it is the same exact language. It is called regional dialect I believe...?
How was the sign for 'sometimed' developed. I don't see a connection, thus it will be hard for me to remember.
Think: The index finger sometimes touches the palm.
Relate this to the use of the palm as the face of a clock (as in a sign such as "half-hour."
@@sign-language Okay, thank you!
A friend and I are self teaching ourselves sign language and your videos are very helpful!! I'm wondering why instead of signing "spring,summer,fall you like which best?" You signed "spring, summer, fall, you like best which?" I noticed with a few of the other questions it was kinda the same. Does it matter which way you say it? :) thanks
Hello :)
I discuss grammar over at my website. See:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-layout/grammar.htm
So are these newer versions of the old ones? The ones I have are with Katelyn...
+♡ Ms.Ciara ♡ I re-recorded some of the videos into higher-definition videos with a different student. So they are pretty much the same content just better quality. Soon I'll be re-recording the Level-1 videos as well.
Thanks :D I'm a big fan!
Good that waya I can actually see the signs. TYSM so much for replying!
+Bill Vicars Thank you so much! That will be incredibly helpful.
+Kati Eichelberger Auchinleck Hi Kati, I love your cheeks. you look sweet or are you really gangsta
I know you are SUPER busy trying to keep up with all these 10,000 comments and requests and what not - But can I please make a request please? I haven't check all your vids yet - BUT I want to learn "Tenses of Verbs" - such as - "I run, I ran, I will run" Past, Present, Future. Can you teach me please?? I greatly appreciate it.
Time Concepts: Dealing with time:
In English a person might say, "I went to a movie last Saturday." Or, maybe "Last Saturday I went to a movie." Notice how the concept of "go" is expressed as "went?" This is called "conjugating" the verb to show tense. (Conjugate is just a big word that means "change" or "join.") Another word for conjugate is "inflect."
In ASL that sentence would be signed "PAST SATURDAY ME-(PRO1) GO MOVIE." (The "PRO1" means a first person pronoun, which is done by simply pointing at yourself with an index finger.) We use the same form of the concept "GO" for both present and past tense sentences. That is the way it is with most ASL sentences. We establish the "tense" or time-frame of a sentence by using certain "time signs" like "past week," "next month," "now morning," or "next year," and then the rest of the sentence uses typical non-conjugated signs. This technique works for whole paragraphs and/or conversations. Tense only needs to be established once at the beginning of an ASL conversation. All of the remaining signs use the same form regardless whether you are talking about the past, present, or future. For example, in the sentence, "TOMORROW ME-(PRO1) GO MOVIE" uses the same sign for "GO" as the sentence, "YESTERDAY ME GO MOVIE."
Now note, that the interpretation of "NOW AFTERNOON ME-(PRO1) GO MOVIE" depends on what time of day it is. If it is morning, then the sentence would be the equivalent of, "This afternoon I will go to a movie." If it is currently night time, the sentence would be interpreted as, "Today I went to a movie." The ASL signs are the same, but their meaning depends on what time of day the sentence is being signed.

Is suppose and if, the same sign??
In general, yes. See:
www.lifeprint.com/asl101/pages-signs/s/suppose.htm
However, "IF" has several variations.

41:53 I didn't catch what the student said here and I tried to slow it down and type it out and I got this: shsasahastahal
anyone else catch it?
Fumbled a bit then she spelled "Shasta Hall."
I then noted that was "where" she took the class (not what the class was) but decided to just move on.
I thought these lessons (16 and up) were only available on superdisk...??
I'm in the process of trying to move away from the Superdisk as time goes on. I don't know how much longer that Superdisk wil lbe available. We are getting to the point where new laptops and computers don't even have DVD players any more. This summer I hope to finish up an app or two and some "e-books." Will see how it goes.
An app! Wonderful! These lessons have helped me so much. I took an intimidating but exciting promotion to supervisor a few years ago. I had three deaf employees out of thirteen. I wanted to have good relations with each individual employee, unlike our previous bosses. So I started with basic alphabet skills, your website, and the Marlee Signs app to reach out to them. We hired a translator once a week (and changed to once a month because we were getting along so well!) It was sometimes difficult because I use a lot of jokes, slang, and colloquialisms in my writing and speech. But overall it was very rewarding. Even when we were in disagreement or conflict, they were still helpful and patient with me. Two recently retired and the third will be soon! I am so proud of them and thankful for their support. Thank you for your work!

Magic trick at minute 43:35! 😅
That might have been a day there was a power outage at the university. We completed the rest of the lesson at the next class session.

Sign Language
What just happened at 43:34. Haha
What's the sign Good heavens , heaven ?
There is not a specific sign for "Good Heavens!"
If you were to sign "good" and "heaven" it would make no sense in ASL.
Instead you would use an exclamatory sign that matches your feelings.

aw man, the white balance on some of these makes you both look like you should be running for president
In addition to being Deaf/hh I also have deuteranomaly and protanomaly (or in other words red/green color blindness). So, I'm rather screwed when it comes to setting the color on my camera or in post processing. In some of my earliest work I've been told I look a lot like a Homer Simpson relative.
At first I considered seppuku but not being able to find an appropriate blade I decided to just keep making videos and doing the best I can.
These days I tend to ask one of my assistants or a family member to come check the color on recordings before the final edit.
@@sign-language ooh yeah that's rough. it's probably not worth it, but I know some cameras let you turn automatic color correction off, and then they make little color reference cards so you can correct automatically in post. not really that big of a problem 🤷🏼
I’m a hearing person and confused by the use of “What Do”.
I'm a hearing person too and have only been watching these videos (which are GREAT by the way - thanks for posting them) for 2 or 3 weeks, but my understanding is that is like WHAT DO you do? WHAT DOES he/she/it do? as in the sentence, "At 5 o'clock, what do you do?" Or "This tool, what does it do?" Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Derek: Good job! You are on the right track with your "what-DO?" explanation.
Note to whoever reads this thread:
