Did you memorize the model to

Did you memorize the model to fold it for this video?

Not sure

Probably I did have it memorized. Might be that I had a look at the diagrams in between, though. It's been a while since I recorded this. :)

It looks not like Eastern

It looks not like Eastern Dragon, but a snake or something. Video seems very funny and you have a great assist!

Eastern dragon

Well, Eastern dragons do look snake-like. Granted, I gave it an extra pair of legs (as requested by my assistant), so it's somewhat disformed. As to my assistant, indeed he was helpful - he got the dragon after folding, too. :)

big

what do you do with something that big?

Who am I to understand men? :)

Well, my boyfriend wanted one. I think he wanted to put it up on a wall, but it never happened. Ah, it still was fun. :)

Paper

Wher do you get this big paper from?!
I like to know.

Some mall

I found it in a mall in Germany, probably Kaufhof or something of the like. It was marked as paper for wrapping books (covers for protection). I think it was around when school started...

ok thank you maybe i can find

ok thank you
maybe i can find it , because i'm also german.;-)

size

What was the size of the final dragon?

Sorry!

I honestly don't remember what size it was in the end...

wow

how did you get that dragon to have 2 curves in the body instead of one

Easy

Just add another pair of legs. :)

amazing

It's quite amazing actually. Isn't it hard to fold since it's so large?

Somewhat

It's somewhat harder than with "average size" paper. But not overly so, actually. I think that's mostly because there aren't really folds in that sequence where you have to hold both ends of the paper and such. Else it'd get quite complicated. :)

WOW that must have took ages

WOW that must have took ages and alot of paper, but still COOOOL!!!

Paper and time

I started with paper that was 40cm wide and 4m long. I think it took me about 90min to fold. Finding the right background music actually took longer. The irony of it all...
