Origami Animation with Joisel’s Rats

IMGA0108 300x225 Origami Animation with Joisels Rats

I made this video because I was inspired by an experience from a week ago. My friend and I were chilling at my home over July 4th weekend, and started taking pictures of origami frogs. That’s where we started taking bunch of still photos and at the end, we made it like a claymation (except that the objects were origami.)

My other friend from an organization called L.I.F.E. (Long Island Folding Enthusiasts) taught me how to fold a rat, and I decided to put together a video… I named it Origamation. (Origami & animation)

Everything that appears in this video is made of origami. Other than very little tweak in color enhancement for the beginning part, nothing is touched up in the 328 photos I used to make this short film.

Enjoy & let me hear what you think!

(The animation part starts at 0:30)
