Between the Folds is in artful insight into the wonders of origami. This film demonstrates the intricate process of paper folding, and how it pairs both art and math seamlessly. They show many aspects of origami, from a man who makes paper for some of the most famous artist, to the engineers and mathmeticians who spend hours upon hours diagraming their works. Watching this film showed how origami isn't just a hobby for children, but a profession and even a way of life for some people.
I enjoyed the aristic direction on this short film, which I ironically noticed while observing the breath-taking paper sculptures. The director's use of silence when showing the origami was very appropiate, and it added to the awe of the art. The director juxstaposed an artist with an engineer, a student with a master, and the simple with the intricate.
This film opened my eyes to how much can be done with just a simple piece of paper. With no other materials, you can create anything you can imagine. I also never realized how much math was actually involved in the making of paper sculpture, along with their corresponding diagrams. Between the Folds is a intersting film that shows the many aspects of what I thought was a simple hobby.
