Monday Morning Video Round Up
A selection of interesting videos from across the web.
First up is a rare newsreel of Helen Keller from 1930. It's interesting to put a face to the name of the famous Deaf Blind woman. Interesting film too - is that what See Hear would have been like in the 1930s?
Secondly, someone emailed me this Pantene commercial the other week. Beautifully shot and edited as most hair commercials are - but I never knew that using a particular brand of shampoo gave you magical violin playing powers? It's got 1.5m views on YouTube so it's obviously pulled a few heart strings as well as violin strings.
We hadn't heard of Ashley Fiolek until recently, but this is one extraordinary lady. She's only 18, but is already a National Champion in Women's motocross. She's also a Deaf American Sign Language User. In this video you can see a bit of her ASL and some Moto X action.

The Patene video is extraordinary - a great short film in it's own right.

I would love to see the black and white film again, about Helen Keller. It showed such passion, and unhelpful tolerance, from the family, of the deaf blind and dumb child. I would love to tape this to show my grandchildren, I would sit them down and show them this, it is a great film for the youngsters to see.
