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.
Extraordinary Pantene Commercial
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.
