video How to make an Origami Dragon

PLEASE CHECK OUT THE INSTRUCTABLE if you want step by step instructions. thank you.

This is me folding an origami dragon.
it uses just an 8.5x8.5 square of paper (make a square form a regular sheet).
I've also made an instructable detailing the folding process.

Works for me. I suggest you make sure flash is working properly. I don't serve up the videos -- youtube does.

Mar 31, 2010. 5:51 PMcorndawg49 says:

you were right, its fine now ps im starting to make my own instructables

Jan 8, 2010. 6:08 PMjabapyth (author) says:

I did answer, but I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. In my opinion, the comprehensive series of photos included in the instructable make a far better teaching tool for learning origami than a video would. This video was made first, and its purpose is to give you a general idea of how to fold the dragon. For better/more followable instructions, I would highly suggest looking at the instructable.

Thats fine, I'm not mad; It's just sometimes difficult to communicate w/ just text ;-)

Have you tried using the step-by-step instructable?

Jan 1, 2009. 3:03 PMpagangod says:

cool, but this would be better if you put step by step instructions instead of a video. still cool

Jan 2, 2009. 1:39 PMjabapyth (author) says:

Good idea. I'll see if I can do that soon.

sorry for asking so many questions but how do you make the step by step instructable

Dec 31, 2008. 10:12 PMcowscankill says:

That is pretty good.

Sep 25, 2009. 5:58 PMk.o says:

wat do you have to do to make a video or make an instructable

Sep 25, 2009. 7:08 PMjabapyth (author) says:

well I just used my digital camera to video myself, and uploaded it to instructables. Its a pretty simple process. To make an instructable I like taking an exhaustive amount of photos, as that's the best way *I* learn. I'm pretty sure there's an instructable on here called "How to Make an Instructable"

I've made something like this about a year ago for a Western Civilization class I was taking when we had to build a castle for Lords and serfs and such. It took so long and I completely forgot how to do it RIGHT after I made it.
