American Sign Language

The video begins with a title slide featuring a line drawing of a figure depicting the handshapes and movement for the vocabulary term, Paste-Up. The figure uses both hands in a flat, bent-3 handshape. At mid-torso, with palms orient toward one another, the signer bends the extended pointer and middle fingers while simultaneously moving the hands away from center. Next in a video recording, Brian Brizendine, a white older male, defines the term in American Sign Language. He stands in front of a blue screen in a film studio.
