Cyber Chat 2.0 example

Here's an example of Shy doing everyone's parts to Vimeo and the blog.  For the parts where you are speaking at the same time as someone else, please do the gestures shown there (especially for the last sentence).  Otherwise you can do whatever you like, as long as you follow the intention.

And here is the script.  What we actually say is in bold, and what we imagined the intention is below (in some cases where it’s obvious we put some movement notes for ourselves).
