Potential Future

If we were given the chance to expand on the idea and continue with the project this is how we would do it...


The origami man begins as sheet of paper and suddenly folds to life; he wonders through the world interacting with other sheets of papers and creating other models like origami dragons, birds and boomerangs.


He goes through the world not satisfied with the things he has created and feels lonely without a friend. Eventually, after all his efforts he manages to create himself a female companion.

As a group this was discussed and decided as fitting way to improve and build on the idea and create a interesting and unique graphical narrative.

Reflection & Notes

Hit with problem after problem, the project didn't seem to be getting anywhere - but after much effort and perseverance we managed to create an animation. Not an animation rich in narrative or special effects but a decent level of skill and understanding.

Not too bad considering we suffered issues with:

Lighting - Always changing, environmental influences
Camera - Focusing, Exposure, White Balance
Theft - Origami man was stolen!
And on the last day, corrupt data resulting in footage lose.

...Oh yeah, the whole team was ONLY in the last TWO days, out of the 3/4 weeks we had!
