Vote for your favorite origami shaker.

I have entered a video contest and am asking for the support of the origami community.

Which of the 3 (and 1/3) models do you like the best?

If you find this video a fun way of supporting origami go to Youtube and give my video a 5 star rating. I hope you will keep your negative opinions to yourself.

What does this have to do with origami?
Soooo off topic.

Ummm... have you realised that everything you see (except for the Nesquik bottles and the ball in the end) is folded from paper and holds together without glue (if firstfold hasn't cheated this time)?

Never glued, all folded from rectangular sheets of cardstock, poster board and standard transparency sheets - no cuts once the rectangles are made ! ! !

And the Ball - it is many rolled sheets of rectangular cardstock - no glue ! Look at the second slide, the first picture the "artistic" goblet is the ball pushed out from the center (after I had used it in the video of the ballmatic shaker).

The bunny is folded from square sheets of paper no cuts or glue ! ! !

I think I can safely say that this is multi-unit origami. Don't you agree?

Here is a closeup of the origami ball/ This one was used in a model of a mobable bridge:

I will make a video of me juggling origami balls when I make another ball.

This is NOT an instructional video but does give you an idea of what it took to make the origamni shakers -
