Are you good at reading fast ASL? (short video)

I hoping someone here is good at reading fast ASL signing with a lot of letters and can tell me all that is being said by the guy in this video:
YouTube - The Chocolate Factory

It's really fast and hard to read, but I think he spells out RACHEL, and maybe APOLLOCANDY in the first 10 seconds. He may also spell out GLYPH at some point and give a weird code (random letters and numbers from the glyph symbol on his tshirt.) It is this code or a hint where to find a glyph that is readable that I am hoping for.

Please reply here or send me a PM with anything you can read from the video.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

This 39 second video is part of the LOST TV show "The Experience" game they are running this summer. If you are interested in it, you can read more about it over on thefuselage.com forums.

My signing skills have gone straight to hell. Sorry. Something about "a friend of rachel's.....That's all I could understand...I was totally lost.
 
No, I was not in the deaf chat, but a lot of people are trying to figure out what this video says, so maybe someone else was there.

Thanks for trying! Every little bit helps.

Ok, I asked because I was in the deaf chat chatroom this morning and someone in there asked me the same request you did.....but the link they gave me did not work. So I thought maybe it was you, I guess not.
 
The video is really hard to read. I've tried pausing and taking it a letter at a time, but it goes really fast and is pretty blurry at times. Also, it does not help that I do not know ASL signs, so I am limited to the alphabet and numbers.

There are a few signs that look really clear and someone who knows ASL would be able to read them, I think.

One looks like a "A" with one hand touching the palm to a single index finger of the other hand.

Well, anyway, if someone wants to take a shot at translating this 39 second video into english, that would be very cool:
YouTube - The Chocolate Factory
 
I watch both of those video. I do understand most of it but that person have really bad on spelling and hard to understand what he is trying to spelling. it was little sloppy.
 
Hey foxy,

Can you tell me what the guy is saying?

It is quite possible that there is a "code" in there that would be just a few random letters and numbers.

Thanks! :fingersx: I really want to figure this out.
 
I could caught dfds or dfdss but not uddy rest of it. I just try my best. if he spelling it clearly I would caught it easier

same here, im sure i could show it to my girlfriend and shed get it but its too blurry and small for me to read has nothing to do with how fast it is.
 
I tried but it too blurry and he wore wrong shirt. White in middle and hand over it and hard to see. I just try my best
 
Well, thank you all very much for trying! I know it is hard to see, even if you are an expert at ASL, the video is too small and blurry.

There are a few signs that might be able to be understood, but I'm not sure how to describe them very well.

One looks like the letter 'A' with one hand hitting the single index finger of the other hand.

Another looks like he flicks all his fingers out to the sides with both hands.

One more looks like he is making two fists with thumbs up and shaking them up and down side by side.

I think I will go through the slow version and try to pick out the letters one at a time.

A good chunk of it is just fingerspelling, i know i saw 'with' 'live' 'cant' 'have' and 'friend' in there but i wasnt really paying a lot of attention.
 
I was able to enchance it to a full frame in order to see the sign but however, when I enchanced the video the picture became a little bit blurry... I was able to understand the sign but not the fingerspelling. The fingerspelling is VERY sloppy and hard to read. I am a native signer but this is a video gone bad.

Here's what I got so far from recepting the video, It's the best I could do to translate it -

friend of rachel, me Mel Apollo undy can't fool mate lerk have chemist running test on dfsdd cemend always important but sytearar can't hate that competition large argument, something like that.

That's the best I could get from seeing the video. I hope that will be somewhat a bit of a help to you. Good Luck. Would anyone else be happy to make an input to this as well?

Ah chemist i dont know why i didnt get that, I did the same thing I did it full screen and could understand the signs but very little of the fingerpselling, and when he moved his hands over that white part of the shirt i just couldnt read any of it.
