WCOG February Meeting

Two videos for this month. The first one has Phu Tran teaching his rose:



It really is quite gorgeous. He has several different variations, all based off of the Kawasaki twist-fold method, but quite original in how he has given his rose the illusion of additional petals. The calyx and leaves are interlocked into the stem; and the calyx itself locks into the rose by incorporating a spearhead-shaped insertion-tip.

I brought two of my gymnasts to this meeting:

WCOG Meeting: November 13, 2004

This was my first experiment in video-preserving our monthly Westcoast Origami Guild meetings. I had tinkered around for about a month with Windows movie-maker already. The camera I use is a 2.0 megapixel digital Canon camera. It only takes videos in 10 to 20 seconds clips at a time. So I just strung the clips together and ran it to music, and there ya go!

Joy to Origami (Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach 2004)

The sound in this one is rough and uneven, as I had not yet discovered I could control the audio level. At this point, I was still learning a lot as I went.

Adventures in Ori-Yami

One of my early works. Kind of jumbled; and the Disney music is a bit embarrassing, but my audio library for MP3s was limited, and at the time I didnt' know I could rip my own music into mp3's through Windows media player. So the music I would use at this stage in the game, was anything I could find for free off the internet.
