Origami Jumping T-rex That Does Tricks!

[Rather Simple] How to fold a T-rex that jumps and does dinosaur aerobics! The tricks are interspersed throughout the tutorial. Near the end of the video I show several methods/tips for how to get it to jump. Special for my members, as featured in the intro, I designed a Jumping Kangaroo. And to become a member (costs about $5/month) here’s the link: Here’s the background story to how I ended up designing a Jumping Dinosaur and a Jumping Kangaroo: At the July 2022 JSO Western Hemisphere Livestream (afternoon of Saturday July 30th), member, Nico, requested that I try to design a Jumping Kangaroo. I tried it but failed. Instead I ended up with a bad-looking dinosaur that didn’t even jump. After the livestream I spent about four hours on my own trying to design a jumping kangaroo and finally managed to come up with a jumping kangaroo I was hoppy with. I successfully taught it at the Eastern Hemisphere livestream (Sunday 12am). Since I had also tried to make a jumping T-rex and failed at that too, a couple days later I started trying in earnest to design a jumping dinosaur to hopefully publish as my weekly public tutorial, and it took me several days and at least 30 attempts before I was satisfied enough to teach it. I still think there’s room for improvement on this model and I invite you, my viewers, to try to figure out how to get it to look better or jump better, or to try to design and entirely different origami jumping dinosaur. #OrigamiJumpingDinosaur #origamidinosaur #jeremyshaferorigami Time Codes: 0:00 - 0:40 Intro 0:40 - 10:22 Tutorial 10:22 - 11:45 How to get it to jump 11:45 - 14:32 How to make it three-dimensional 14:32 - 17:13 More jumping tips and troubleshooting 17:13 - 17:54 More tricks and transformations 17:54 - 18:15 Outro Here are some ways to support me to make more awesome origami videos: 1.
