That's pretty amazing.

Anyone else want to see it shrivel up by a water attack?
Aeliza22
What the hell. I can’t fold a letter in equal parts and fit it in an envelope. ??♀️

I see your origami samurai and raise you an origami boulder - https://origamiboulder.com/
PlatypusShankie
Bwahahaha! I'm so sad more people didn't see this!
Itjusthitme
I saw his art in an exhibition last year. Other amazing pieces aswell! Them details!

"If you must blink, do it now."
thesosoartist
I swear there were scissors involved
StepRightUp
Zeke IS sweet! And adorable too! thx

So.eone posted a time-lapse video of this yesterday. I didnt favorite it so keep scrolling?
ChristopherHallett
Holy shit, is that how you earn Grand Master in the origami world?
Narokh
More like, holy sheet!
PotatoRotato
WubBug
That is some epic-level folding there! . . . So, what else can you do with your fingers? o.O
fiftydollarbill
It looks cool, but I wish there were some sort of fruit-based reference guide I could use to determine how big it is
jl2t17ilra8m17c
Well, his hand is there.
lostinamapfactory
You know, he could have used two sheets and we would have never known
sandanistainyaface
Did you see how many folds?!
apestapatas
Did he cut and glue some of that?
PlatypusShankie
I don't think he did. If you look at the two process pics you can kind kind of see how he must have done it folding.
thecanadianwhoatethemoose
Traditional origami does not allow cuts and clue.

Upvote for Zeke. I miss my little guy Charlie every goddamn day.
PlatypusShankie
Sorry for your loss. They are with us for such a short time, I know, but they are the best while we get to have them!
JeretJax
Kubo would be proud.
EVERYB0DYP00PS
Great movie
TheElusiveEnchilada
If you must blink - do it now!
IHaveALotOfQuestions
Do these ppl know in advance how to fold the paper or do they just wing it?
gettingkrunked
My son loves oragami and makes some crazy stuff. Most he finds on youtube or in his oragami books but he has made some up
3RsReadingRitingRithmatic
https://youtu.be/MDwPXRy9IFc This is a short neat video showing "levels" of origami which goes into some of the planning of stuff like this.
lostinamapfactory
If it's a crane, they wing it
WeDontDeserveGoldens
jstarlen
There are techniques (and a little math) to organize sections of paper based on common patterns. That said, it's still more art than science
thecanadianwhoatethemoose
Someone developed software to do it, but I imagine like anything, you have to know where to start.
KittensForDays
Huh, that’s interesting, thanks for sharing
ValkyrieSwitch
Reminded me of Kubo and the Two Strings. If you haven't already do yourself a favour and Watch. This. Movie.
SnakuPlisskin
I would swear scissors were involved.
QueenOfEthiopia
Seriously! I can't wait for Laika to come out with another movie
highinthehills
And Regina Spektor's cover of "While my Guitar Gently Weeps" over the credits is outstanding.
RealNiceCookieFlavour
I just watched it the other night because I missed it so much!
DecorativeCacti
Monkey is my favorite character and the dearth of Kubo merch is a travesty.
Rosie2003
Kubo should have won Best Animated Feature instead of Zootopia #changemymind
FluffyFoxxie
Don't get me wrong, I love Zootopia... but Kubo is the better film by a landslide in almost every way.
JanglesPrime
I liked Zootopia more, but I am a big fan of Kubo's animation. It has been years since I seen either so I may have to check them out again.
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
I do not have that kind of patience....or planning skills
Exowe
I also don't have that kind of pa
thecanadianwhoatethemoose
There is software now that can print out the folds
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
Will it fold it for me?
imagae
I think we can surprise ourselves with those when we’re doing something that we really enjoy. They come naturally rather than by effort.

Meanwhile, I skipped breakfast and lunch today because i didn't feel like walking to the other side of the building....
TheRicM
It's easy to make these. You've got to know when to hold them
Omnimorph2112
I did the same! But I made up for it with dinner. Ate so much I spent the rest of the evening on the couch
crwtrb138
I can relate..
thisappisajoke
Same but depression
somethingawesomeandgreat
How big is the building? If you’re Putin with 1 billion dollar mansion, it is very believable
odoylerules89
There’s no such thing as a free lunch...unless you don’t eat it.
flaskfullofcoffee
No you did it cause you couldn’t afford breakfast or lunch today
CheekiestoftheBreeki
Fortunately my job provides food for free.
flaskfullofcoffee
Are they hiring
RowRowFightThePowa
What kinda disgusting company provides that? Where would they be? Like whats the name of it, so I can avoid it at all cost?!
allibaster12
How big was the piece of paper?
TinyLiehon
And did anyone else think at first that was a lifesize samurai?

Baffling to Americans
clutchthepearls
Who do you think uses inches?
Wharrgarrble
Yeah I'm not fucking googling the conversion. Imma say Texas sized
BishlamekGurpgork
The conversion of inches to inches?
Wharrgarrble
Because I misread that.... I'm the jackass here.
Rosie2003
We understand inches
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
That's 3' 1" Americans.
donthatemecauseimwittier
Thank you. We are far to stupid and lazy to figure that out. I mean that.
damnshithellfart
So about one Washing machine. Got it.
dingdongg
doing god's work
TheRockDude
Y'know, I don't really like pineapple on pizza mostly because I don't really go for sweet stuff on savory stuff, but I don't HATE it either
gtollie
How many do I need to cover my washing machine ?
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
Roughly 230 if you include all six sides.
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
Assuming it's a square piece
PlatypusShankie
Yes!
JakSandrow
IIRC all origami is done on square pieces of paper
