This is an American Sign Language version of Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song” made accessible to native ASL users. This music video was created with a 100% deaf cast and crew. All of the performers in this music video are also a part of Deaf West’s “Spring Awakening.” We did this out of love and support for #deaftalent everywhere who are always in need of job opportunities in the entertainment industry.

FUN FACTS:

The three most popular universities that deaf and hard of hearing students attend can be seen in the video:

Gallaudet University - Washington DC (represented by the Buff and Blue blanket)

Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT)- Rochester, New York (T-shirt hung on the wall to the upper right corner)
Link

California State University, Northridge (CSUN)- Northridge, California (T-shirt worn by Treshelle Edmond, CSUN Alumni)

This video also recognizes a deaf-owned relay service, Convo Relay, which is represented by the green shirt with a picture of the sign for “proud.”

By Mara, a deaf owned fashion company based out of New York City, is represented by the T-shirt with the “I love you” handshape worn by performer Karla Gutierrez.

Glide is a video texting app that is popular among the deaf community. The logo can be seen on a blue hat on top of the lamp or worn by Joshua Castille in the end credits.
