I love how they took advantage of the hand movements and used them as Elsa's magic.

@patricksmythe1661 9 лет назад

I'll laugh if Disney comes along and makes RU-vid mute the audio track. It won't affect this video's target audience at all.

@marsthulite 9 лет назад

Ikr because we are deaf (I am deaf too)

@holliest.arnauld8252 8 лет назад

Actually, I'm part of the target audience as a hearing parent of a deaf child that loves music. We use these videos to build our vocabulary, work on facial expressions, and improve our signing style. Without the lyrics playing, they'd have no educational value for me.

I am deaf and im had many deaf and hearing friends!!

A hearing sister of my Deaf student recently passed away and "Let it Go" was played at her graveside service with the snowflakes floating down from above. I have shared the link to your beautiful ASL rendition with my student's family so that they can watch it together with their Deaf daughter who can now enjoy one of her sister's favourite songs. Lovely and thank you.

Goosebumps and beautiful ASL! Thank for sharing. Lily 🙌👍

ASL in music videos always seem more like a dance to me. Amazing!

@faithelizabeth7711 6 лет назад

omg it pretty

@toddrogers3935 9 лет назад

I am certain that if these deaf people could hear the actual song, "Let It Go" they would be just as much in love with it as we who can hear are! This was masterful!

@wickidblazed420 6 месяцев назад

I only know of this song because Disney On Ice came to fort wayne Indiana and I was one of the staff who cleaned up after every show!!! They redid this song at the end for the deaf children who came out to the show!!! Ty for doing this

@gracemiller1856 2 года назад

My 6 yr old Deaf daughter absolutely loves Elsa and she is now obsessed with this video! Thank you!!!!

@jessicabuckley1221 9 лет назад

I love this video but the framing drives me crazy, there's no reason for a video in ASL to have the performer's hands/arms not in view all the time. They did a great job with the man, but the woman was out of frame so often.

@scottcaldwell2786 9 лет назад

Great work. I am hearing and don't know ASL... But I've always seen ASL as such an artistic and beautiful way to communicate. Thanks for sharing your talent.

@doubletrouble4710 9 лет назад

This is pure poetry. I love seeing this. The words say one thing, but the meaning is another.

@sunshineskyppie 8 лет назад

It's videos like these, that remind me of what I miss most about becoming an interpreter. I'm hooked on this song not in ASL but to see it this way if just beautiful. Thank you so much for making this. And I found this on my birthday!

@dman0044 3 месяца назад

I have done ASL signs for over 50 years (learned the alphabet), a few other signs without realizing. Many have done the sign for "so-so"when asked how they were,( everyone knows the sign for "I love you",learned a few from "Happy days" Now I go to a place for adults with disabilities/handicaps, on Wednesdays,I've been learning much more ASL.

@araw_buwan 3 года назад

Five years and still as gorgeous as ever

@SeaEmpress612 9 лет назад

This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long while. . . Tears and my smile don't even begin to describe the joy this brought to my heart.

@jaketravis 9 лет назад

Beautiful. I wish the hands were fully visible throughout, but still incredibly gorgeous and expressive.

@lauramaikata1820 8 лет назад

I LOVE the artistic interpretation here -- the coming together and creating new community after trying hard to fit in and finally deciding to "let it go." The thing I DIDN'T like about the popularization of Disney's song is that it made it seem like a world of isolation was a GOOD option when things got hard. Let it go and stand alone. Shut out the world. It wasn't Disney's message, just the message you get hearing the song in isolation. This interpretation of the song was brilliant! Let it go, put some distance behind it, then (at the end) form community to help you move forward into the sun. BEAUTIFUL visualizations.

@pamelaharrington3838 7 лет назад

I love this song...the woman in the picture is my mum....she went deaf as she was dying....she loved this video and played it at her memorial service that her hospice place held for her...my name is Emma

@fierywolf1981 9 лет назад

*Standing ovation*!!!!!!!!! Absolutely fantastic!

@ArtistFormallyKnownasMC 9 лет назад

I am in love with this. I teach music at an elementary school where the majority of DHoH in the area come to school. So I've been trying very hard to learn as much as I can while I'm there to be able to sign with my kiddos. I agree with others that I would like to be able to see all the signs in a video. For me, I'm learning more when I can see it all. And I adore watching ASL versions of songs, being a musician and all, and I agree with others that there is so much beauty in the mixture of ASL and music.

@nauticarocha8213 9 лет назад

This is an amazing video! A a hard-of-hearing person, it is nice to know that this was made by people in the deaf community!

@sweetiepie2356 9 лет назад

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! I've always watched videos by Amber & Jason individually, but now to see them together in this video, well there's only one way to describe it........... ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL!

@shadowwolf641 9 лет назад

Amazing! I only now have found this video but I wish I had last year. Each year we have a show preformed by the special needs kids at my school along with their peers (kids who take off classes to help them) I have been lucky enough to do this the past 2 years. Last year we had an autistic girl who preformed signing. She signed to this song as she is a huge fan of frozen. This year she signed fireworks. It's amazing to know so many people care and try to promote that they are no different than us

@LaurajollyE 9 лет назад

Yes! I am so proud to support this video, excellent work with the special effects - so cool turning gestures into magic!

@DrkShadowSonic 9 лет назад

This video was absolutely amazing! The production, costumes, and effects were so good and put such power into it. Along with the great emotions from the performers. Thanks for making this!!

@dancer2989 8 лет назад

My friend showed me this video awhile ago. My friend and I are in the same American Sign Language 2 class. They are both deaf and they never miss a beat.

@tyronematrix 9 лет назад

That was amazing! I adore those special effect and the way you guys sign that flow with the power of frozen does amaze me. BRAVO!!

@natg.2614 8 лет назад

That was a beautiful video! I've only been taking ASL for a few months, but I can really see how beautiful it is to watch, especially when you recognize the signs and see a creative variation to tell the story! Awesome, song, awesome video, and i really recommend more people learn sign language. It's so much fun!

@NanaV73 9 лет назад

I have a special relationship with this song and seeing this version brought me to tears.

@ariethninja6280 2 года назад

just found this, by accident, why had i never thought there would be asl translations before. I am so disappointed in myself. I love how you have a male and female "singing this" I am hearing, however, I'm non verbal and I find ASL easier to talk. Planning on taking more college classes to relearn it. Happy that I was able to read all the signs and know most of them. thank you so much for making this

@tiffanys9764 8 лет назад

I'm not deaf but since I was four I was intrigued by sign language and a lady my dad had gone to school with was a teacher at Illinois school for the deaf. And so she taught me the alphabet and gave me a couple of books. Then in high school I took ask all four years. Was my favorite class. I think this video was beautiful!!!!

Cried so much and Laugh bc I completely understand the whole Song ^.^

@keepsakesc 9 лет назад

have been looking forward to this for awhile, was positively thrilled with the all deaf cast and crew. I have to say, I am somewhat new to signing and was a little disappointed the ASL was a little hard to keep up with, (the snow coming out of the hands and the hands being cut off.) I know a lot of hard work went into the special effects but why cover the ASL and have the hands cut off ?? that took away from the video, and like a said I am still new to signing, so watching videos with ASL is one way to help learn. other then that is was a great video, loved the costumes and Jason hair style !!

@AllNaturalTeen 9 лет назад

@JamDecks 9 лет назад

@SebastianReedAndrews 9 лет назад

All of your music videos make me really want to learn ASL. (I'm not deaf, though I plan to go to college to study Speech Pathology and Audiology, and I think with that major it'd be a good language to learn.)

@DarkAurora2002 9 лет назад

It would be a great thing to learn with your major

@sarahpounder899 9 лет назад

Sebastian Reed Andrews I'm a speech path/aud major (just finished my sophomore year). If you want someone to talk to about the major, feel free to come to me. I absolutely love the field and am currently planning to go into audiology
