im really sorry but you do make the folds look difficult.. the pen lines dont help because you dont take time on showing in slwo UP CLOSE motion the folds.. and you hide the difficult folds with your hand.. Its soooo easy teaching origanmi but you have to make sure you have enough light on the video not in darkness as this is.. and on each fold take your hnds away and just lay the oigami out and go through fold again. SLOWER. we arent all experts at the folds.. Im a beginner.

@THEGOBBLESTOP Please check my more recent videos to get an idea of the quality I am producing now (vs 3 years ago, which is when I created this video). I think I've improved since then. ;)

What exactly is a valley fold?

[AdamsSara]

If you fold a sheet of paper in half, you'll probably automatically make a valley fold.

How can you tell? unfold again, and you'll see that the edges of the paper point somewhat up, whereas the crease follows a "valley" in the paper. Now, if you turn the paper around, the crease will be the top point, and the paper will probably stand on the edges. So the crease forms the peak of a mountain. That's the motivation of calling folds "valley" or "mountain" - it references the direction of the fold.

To: AdamsSara- I've been thinking of making a few origami vids of my own, and I just have the diagrams from a kit, seeing as you credited someone for the diagram design, should I credit the ppl who manufacture the kit? Thanks for the response ^.^.

[AdamsSara]

You should always credit the designer, and it's a good idea to also add sources (such as the kit name, publisher, where it's available). If the kit doesn't state who the designer of the models is (and it's not traditional), that's bad. If it's a traditional design, do as you please. If the kit gives designer names, you should not only give credits, but also ask for permission (not the kit publisher, but the designer).

i have seen the book that model comes from and its like nobody can do the neck right I've done that dino so many times, i first learned origami when i was ten and that was one of the first things i made

Your voice is stupid.

OMG it took me 4 hours to make. For all ya ppl that complain about it going too fast, either pause the video or pause/play rapidly dumbasses. its not like the person who is folding knows where its harder for some ppl. I just turned 13, im not the best at arts and crafts and i was able to make this for Father's day.

Could you go any faster!! Gosh I had to pause like 40 times...not all people a fast at folding like you are...

Why the heck is this not working!?! ARRGH! At 6:58-ish, that part, it's not folding up the right way, it keeps making this giant block underneath or something and it's seriously annoting because I have no way of fixing it! Man, this is my little bros b-day presant and it's not working!!!!D:

[shelton5526]
