Thanks

thank you very much to every one!
Joseph: it was also the first model i diagrammed with vector graphics and i came to the conclusion, that making stop motion animation is not as hard as diagramming! i tip my hat to all those diagramming their models!!!

I've tried making stop motion movies with plasticine before! How did you keep the paper to stay in the air during the folds?

MABONA ORIGAMI says:

platicine used to be the medium for stop motiion. still is for low budged productions. but state of tha art sutdios use latex figures with a metal sceleton. those pupets cost up to 5 digit numbers!

to find out how i did it read my last comment here:

origamidude96 says:

any hints on the closing of the model. Mine didn't turn out very smooth.
Posted 19 months ago. ( permalink )

MABONA ORIGAMI says:

thanks again everyone! i appreciate your feedback.

origamidude:
hints on closing? there is no more closing than what you see on that video. it documents the whole folding process. the diagramms will be probably be pushied in the tanteidan conventionbook. i hope!

I think your diagrams will have a good chance of being in there, mine on the other hand... They've improved, but my diagrams are just so bland.

Be nice, Petr. (Actually, I was wondering who would respond to that question first...)

Petr Stuchly says:

i am terribly sorry Joseph. i have been prtepairing myself for my history exam tomorrow and my computer has the "fatal error day", and the whole afternoon with internet expolorer and ms word became an epic fight, my brain has also "fatal error day", i have a headache and i really didn't want to be rude, i am glad you all origami masters are kind to me, and i am terribly sorry a greenhorn as me wasn't. i have one of those days. i am terribly sorry again and the more i am sorry i dissapointed You. :'(
this wasn't me, that was my other me who used to be hidden most of the time. ;-)

@erkenbrandt_jg: no, this is Sipho Mabona's original design of koi ;o)

Joseph Wu Origami says:

It's okay, Petr. I did put a smiley, right? It was just a gentle reminder, not a harsh reprimand!
Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

Petr Stuchly says:

what a luck you are so kind, Joseph! =P
Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

erkenbrandt_jg says:

Oh . . . i see. It just looks like Lang's that's why I asked. XD
Posted 7 months ago. ( permalink )

Petr Stuchly says:

@erkenbrandt_jg: i a bit diagree, mate. =P both models are very different ;-) - note this one has dorsal fin, but Lang's not and this one (at least to me) has better shaping ;-)
enjoy the model anyway!

This is so cool! I'm going to go fold one right now. Usually stop motion looks really choppy. How did you make all the transitions so smooth and fluid looking?
Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )

Petr Stuchly says:

it should be because of the useage of hundreds or thousands of pictures, not only tens ;-)
