"...and origami for all" by danbergam on YouTube

Post by danbergam »

Hi, everybody!

danbergam here, author, host, mind and heart of the on-going "...and origami for all" tutorials series on YouTube!

For something like 5 years I've been there, making tutorials that helped a good number of people (more than 10 millions, by now) to move their first steps into the origami world! :D

Still, I always was very unregular in posting tutorials, and in the last few years I was off for months and months... [-X Shame on myself!

Well, those times are over, and I've recently made some significant changes:

1) Written *and* spoken instructions preceding each single step, to satisfy the many, many persons that for years asked me for that

2) A DVD-like navigation system (by means of annotations) for those wishing to skip the spoken instructions or to the following steps... and even to return to the previous ones!

3) subtitles in more languages like spanish, portuguese, french and italian (the firsth three would need to be checked by who actually talks those languages...)!

4) original background music by myself (of which I'm proud)

5) A rigorous scheduling: a brand new tutorial each 22nd of the month, 12.00 UTC/GMT

But some critical features didn't change... and will never do!

1) the slow pace, which since the beginning has always let even the beginners to follow my tutorials

2) the clarity of the steps themselves

A few examples of my brand, new style of origami tutorialing:

A traditional kirigami goldfish:

A traditional japanese phoenix (houou):

...and the next tutorial, that is sea-themed, is already loaded and ready to be published according to the established date and time scheduling: August 22nd, 12.00 UTC/GMT!

I hope I'll read you there!

Thank you,
Dan

You did an awesome job. I checked out the phoenix diagrams. I can't believe you put so much work in the details of the videos.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you *so much*, Gerardo!
Definitely, putting all of the annotations is quite a time-spending process... but it's ok, as long as it serves to make the tutorials more effective!
I truly believe that a solution like this makes the tutorial ideal both for who is still slow at making folds (like me, for first, haha! ;-D), thus making the "next step" button unneeded, and for who is quicker to grasp them and complete them and wants to quickly advance!
:-D

Thank you again!
Cheers,
Dan
