Robert Lang teaches Origami: Swallow - IMA

[jwilliambyrd]

I could not finish the origami, the music was too annoying, no continuity, and for a person follow you a monotone voice is also boring. Looks like a neat Swallow.

[xiaobetx]

please remove the pauses

[Tash6tash]

I was loving the bird, and how well he explained it, but it frustrated me so damn much with all that stopping and starting, and the music just repeating over and over and over........ in the end I just slammed the lid of my laptop closed, and walked away. Really would like to see this origami video without the edits!

[TheBradstery]

can you do the hercules beetle plese

[daresterjovski]

can it fly

[Origamispecialist]

Thanks I love your models especially the panda!

[chowdermarshmellows]

whats is his contact info i gotta ask him some qs about origami!

[bloodclaw91]

his voice.........

its so soothing........

[TheCraich]

I gave up at 1730, the freeze frames and brutally slow instructions were way too frustrating.

[debexstar]

REALLY HARD. Im pretty Ok at this sort of thing - but man I had many attempts. Lots of the folds dont really follow through as he seemed to make them - ie - the cone..... yes you push that part out but moving onto the next stage - try flattening it - what a mess. and one part folds get caught in little flaps. Very trying really.

[NotTonTon]

does it fly =O?

[SimonBoholm]

Never imagined it would take 30 minutes to fold a piece of paper

[xaositectz]

@SimonBoholm heh i folded a fish once that took like 8 hours, and looked quite nice ;)

[gamemeister27]

@SimonBoholm I saw a time lapse of someone doing a scaled koi in about 14 and a half hours.

[iaqov]

those delayes/replays and the bird noises are sooo freaking annoying. please just stop for god sake

[EinTheNeko]

looks like a plane to me o.o but it looked CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[mer08820]

robert lang, your origami is the best. not just the swallow, but the humming sucking nectar from a flower. your turtle your scorpion, and much more

[XxBloodyblackcatxX]

uhm...you may be the best...but you dont make this vid for normal people; not to mention its pretty boring.,

[ChloeHeartNerds]

I tried to fold along with the video but because of the poor quality I couldn't make anything... I think he could be a bit more clearer with his directions :/

[darthvanzer]

sorry Robert but you are putting me sleep

[stuchly1]

@darthvanzer it's not Robert's fault. it's fault of the editor who made it so disturbingly long. everybody can replay it as many times as needed, no need to make it needlessly boring for those who are not complete beginners (not to mention a complete beginner is gonna end up with a paperball in trashcan anyway...)

[MrYFM2]

@darthvanzer You wanna know why your sleeping while watching this video?, because you don't know the real concept of art and origami. So shut your pie hole!!!! and you smell like a pig!!!!!

[MrYFM2]

@darthvanzer Because you don't understand the real concept of art so shut your pie hole!!!

[mousedaga1]

nice origami structure Robert, hope you can invent another origami structure and post it on youtube so that we can see how you do it. Your are fascinating ^^ God Bless

[crazybisuit3]

fucking hell rob, you don't have to fold so slow you know?!

[MrYFM2]

@crazybisuit3 Dude, can't you see?! what if someone was a really slow folder of origami and he or she wanted to fold this origami clean and perfect!! so don't cuss ok!!! because you don't understand the concept of this!!!

[miplanes]

that is the logest show ever

[crazybisuit3]

the idea is that you fold along ;)

[stuchly1]

do you know who he is? he is one of the world's best origamists! so stop swanking, damn!

[Tamerplane]

he is the slowest folder yet netest folder

[MWH878]

amazing! mine looks like a swallow from hell though.

[scoreten11]

wish there was fast forward button on youtube

[Satanahia666]

For u USA idiots it's still to fast

[jasarain]

Hush.

[angelica319]

he's too fast?? wtf are you talking about? is friggin' slow! but at least he made tutorials fer his wonderous creationz~ X3

[darksaiyan2006]

You must need an ultra slow motion button to figure out how to fold paper?.

[samuraiXlegend]

Dam terrorist.

[kjmaster]

he is the slowest folder yet netest fold

[jeremiahqwe]

he is the slowest folder yet netest folder

[darksaiyan2006]

I think he could have folded faster, but for the purposes of this video, he slows down to a crawl.

[misinterpretxx]

actually i think perhaps it's the video being edited to pause...see the way his hands "freeze" suddenly even in mid-motion

[Bigjoe1991]

im sorry but replays?? i mean he wasn't going fast enough so we coundn't see

[Kijjakarn]

He was just wanted to make sure that everyone could fold it.

[lutonscum]

man half an hour on what is quite simple design, awesome video but would be great if you uploaded some of the really complex origami

[kenni164]

30 mins omg

[MissBadmouth]

Origami for dummies. It's just too damn slow, speed it up a bit!

[residentevil4ffix]

[gordigami]

Dr. Lang ! You've just elevated the aesthetic environment of YouTube origami by approx. 800 % !

Hey, YouTube is always looking for fresh,new faces,especially if they know how to make a crane ! ( You don't happen to know how to execute that eternally mystifying move known as a " petal fold", do you ?)( heh,heh, sorry...couldn't resist ...)

Actually, it's a rare & great treat to see one of your videos, you've made my day !

Sorry that I missed you at the Mingei..

Please post more !

[IMAItsMyArt]

gordigami,

I'm glad you liked the swallow folding video. We have produced two other instructional videos with Robert, a duck and a sparrow. You should check them out!

[gordigami]

Congratulations to the Indianapolis Museum of Art for their foresight in having an exhibition of Robert Lang's extraordinary work, and to Dr. Lang for his gracious participation.
