I am going to do this with my next video. Also I use Moviestorm, a program that uses game engine technology allowing one to create 3d animated videos. We have animations that allow our puppets to use sign language. What a wonderful idea. I am going to do this with my next video.

Once you get your feet wet and start, you'll be surprised how much fun it actually is. And then if you take the extra step and subtitle the videos, you'll discover a whole new way of communicating with everyone. Try it! You'll like it! :) Edwin:

I usually display the subtitles when watching DVDs as it helps overcome problems like poor sound quality, poor pronounciation, unfamiliar accents, or unavoidable background noises. We've probably all seen movies where the music and effects are louder than the actors' speech. My only grumble is that in all this talk of accessibility, one group always seems to be overlooked when it comes to videos - those who don't have fast broadband (I suspect these would outnumber deaf people worldwide). Even entry-level broadband (256k in Aust) doesn't support smooth viewing. I remember back in the old days of the internet, 10 years ago, a skiing site I visited had ski videos available in both good quality and low bandwidth quality. The low bandwidth versions were smaller and lower in quality, but at least I could view them, even on a dialup connection. Surely if it could be done back then, it must be possible now. Then those not blessed with fast broadband could enjoy video as well as the deaf. My hearing is perfectly normal, but I love subtitles too!

I'm new to blogging and my niche is adventure related. I'm into prospecting for gold and I have been considering video posts, but didn't know where to start and didn't have the time to delve into it--thinking it to be too technical to be a quick learn. But your post has convinced me otherwise, and I'm going to give it a go, and subtitles will be a definite plus! Thanks and good luck! Jason Stephen-
