The REAL Jumpable Frog Origami Stop-Animation

Oh, well, I neither have nor used a very good camera, and that's why the video does not have a very good quality + I had to degrade the quality of the video down to be a MPEG(.mpg) file format in order to fit under youtube's (old) upload file size limit without YouTube degrading the video to a way worsened quality itself, and that's also why the letters are a bit blurry. This frog origami is my favorite out of all origami. You can make them and play with your friends + make some starbox origami (if you don't know how to make it, there are lots of starbox origami tutorials and the like [in YouTube] because it's a common and classic origami), and there you have it: a little frog racing competition (you and your friends race from a distance to get the frog in right inside the starbox origami)! Paper size, paper type, thickness, and neatness matters in making the frog. Sometimes you can make a jumper frog-where it jumps really high but doesn't go forward very far. In this video, I had a common, stretching frog-where it can jump around 2 inch and can jump forward pretty far. I also used a pretty big paper that's why it only jumps around 2 inches high and stretches around 6 inches far. Use smaller, rectangle paper and you might have a super jumping frog! (just make sure even if you make a very small one, it's neat, otherwise it can't jump as good either.) You also have to push the frog in the right way [look closely at how I pushed the frog's end] and with enough power [use your☻ fingertip/fingernails] to make it jump very high or go forward very far. You can also customize its legs and arms by adding more folds to increase its performance [does not always works]! Enjoy and have a happy new year of 2008, 2009 and beyond!

Note: You might also noticed that this origami frog is rarely known by people. My brother taught me this☺, so, this frog MIGHT BE a rare frog origami style! I don't think it's on any [old] origami books either! Also try using some other paper types, like thick papers, such as the index cards. It would probably work great with this origami to maximize the frog's abilities! Once again, have fun with it!

Find, copy+paste, and then put in the end of your comment 2 hidden smileys to show you've read all this closely! Don't give others hint that I asked you to do so, I want to see who reads all this :P [Note that I will respond normally as well.]

im planning to make a video on how to make an origami frog I JUST INVENTED/CREATED ON MY OWN!

it is really cool and jumps good to ill let you people know wen i make it!

u were right i experimented wit the frog u made thts how i make my frog!

ur frog is awesome the farthest jump was i think over half a foot

ur awesome!

[hsq91]

Very nice... but, again, keep in mind that making a very neat frog is the top priority than making a very small one. If you made a very neat, small frog, then you might end up having a super frog (that could jump and/or stretch about 10 inch far and/or high)! Good luck, and the more you experiment with the frog, the more you will discover.
