Origami Convention: 40th BOS Convention 2007 (Cambridge)

[@Happyfolding]

He made an effort, which I think should be admired!

[@amaza888]

Wow.. Sara, what a great video!! I am in awe. The models, what creativity.. Beautiful works of art. And the folders, Brill and Lang, and Joisel, I mean... wow. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. And now, I'm going to look for an equivalent of the BOS in Canada! ;-)

[@Happyfolding]

Had it not been for you, I'd probably not have gone. So thanks again for telling me about the convention. And hey: I'm a BOS member now, learned a couple of new models, bought expensive paper, and... hmmm, I think I'll have to do a quick vlog entry about the convention.

[@gordigami]

WOW !! Been crossing my fingers all week, hoping that you could go to the BOS 40th ! Terrific video , thank you so much for giving us a peek into the event ! What amazing models there ! Really glad that you were able to meet the " masters", and equally glad that they were able to meet YOU ! Hope that you handed out cards to your KZbin site ! Overall, hope that you had a great time ! Thanks again ! ;

[@sgreen4]

I have read about most of the people in this video for years. Now I finally get to see them. They are not like how I imagined, but I'm glad to see them

[@Happyfolding]

I think it's one of the things he was experimenting with during the convention. It looks like a body without a head, and only one arm to me. But I have to admit I was puzzled by it too, when I was at the convention. All in all, I think it was one of Eric Joisel's "work-in-progress" models.

[@Happyfolding]

@aDotFromTheFuture 0:21 shows the Archangel Gabriel by Houyo Takashi. I am not aware of diagrams for Eric Joisel's bull. However, Stephan Weber's bull also looks really nice, and that's diagrammed in Tanteidan 11.

[@Happyfolding]

At 0:10 Kamiya-san's Ryu Zin is shown.

[@Happyfolding]

Just check the gallery on happyfolding(dot)com and restrict to the convention. Then you can check all model names and designers.

[@Happyfolding]

That's the Lion Family designed and folded by David Brill (lion, lioness and lion cub)

[@jacobcovert484]

These origami masters have influenced the world by showing off their awesome talents using a mix of paper folding and a little bit of sculpting involved. I myself have been doing origami for three years now, and I can never imagine being able to fold one of those models. If I had the time and knowledge I MIGHT.

[@Happyfolding]

@Mrarshman As far as I know it's diagrammed in Tanteidan 12.

[@Happyfolding]

At 0:34 the phoenix by Satoshi Kamiya is shown.

[@Happyfolding]

At 1:01 Eric Joisel's Pangolin is shown.

[@extremeorigami]

I just found this video again. I thought I'd comment then realised, I already had before! Anyway, thanks again. I really like it. You present everything very well. God bless you

[@Happyfolding]

@iSkateUK234 Some designers sell folds, yes. They usually come at a price, though. [Remember, it takes time and expertise to fold such excellent models.]

[@Kijjakarn]

Wooow!! There are many masters, including my favourite origamist, Satoshi Kamiya and Robert Lang! Thanks for the video!

[@edwardholmes91]

What a wonderful video Sara! The BOS 50th Anniversary is coming up soon. I've attended 3 of the BOS conventions, but non of them have been as good as this, so I can't wait to see what they do for the 50th :-)

[@Happyfolding]

Same here. I do hope I can make it there!

[@Happyfolding]

@WiltonAdrianoNeto The flying crane, or the butterfly? Both designs are by Satoshi Kamiya, check folders.jp

[@Happyfolding]

Indeed it is.

[@Happyfolding]

@koreanman113 I've had some books autographed, yes. Probably these aren't all, but at least some: Tomoko Fuse, Satoshi Kamiya, Robert Lang, Eric Gjerde.

[@ThatPaperGui]

Eric truly influenced the origami world. As soon as I watched Between the Folds, I fell in love with his art. Now that he is gone, I feel like I just missed him. I'm glad he is in a better place.

[@Happyfolding]

Understatement of the year. :)

[@Happyfolding]

That's "Birth" by Eric Joisel.

[@arialthecramwell]

4:54 Satoshi Kamiya, definitely someone among the world's most advanced origami masters of the world.

[@Happyfolding]

@rriverstone1 All pictures are posted on happyfolding(dot)com

[@ohyuhnocap6348]

All kamiya has to do is pick up the Ryujin and he automatically impresses everyone

[@Happyfolding]

@sk84life0704 Yes, he knows English, but I believe he much prefers corresponding in Japanese.

[@Happyfolding]

Go to happyfolding(dot)com > gallery > select convention BOS 09/2007, and voila you have all pictures to look at as long as you like...

[@DonMoza]

5:10 ... oh my god I want that dragon! 2m by 2m square packed into an unbelievable piece of art! Kamio Satoshi is the master of perfection!

[@The34gl3]

Great video Sara!

[@uruigi]

tyvm because i really wanna know a lot of things about all of these specialists

[@arialthecramwell]

In loving memory of Eric Joisel

[@danial8271]

:(((

[@redgator12]

you can RIP IT IN HALF,PUT IT BACK TOGETHER, and it still works

[@Bayubadu]

Joisels jazz orchestra is amazing

[@Happyfolding]

Most certainly not. :) The pictures show models folded by some of the greatest origami masters out there. They have origami skills that let me look like a complete beginner. :p

[@cheekyd-z]

Amazing

[@Happyfolding]

Thanks

[@Happyfolding]

@iSkateUK234 The BOS hosts 2 conventions every year, one in spring and one in autumn. Check britishorigami(dot)info/society/meetings/cons(dot)php for the exact dates.

[@echels]

I would love to have been there and picked a few brains!

[@Happyfolding]

@WiltonAdrianoNeto I fear it's a double-no: I don't know how to fold the model, and Satoshi Kamiya doesn't want instructional videos posted on his models. I respect that wish, so I won't be posting any instructional videos on any of his models.

[@Happyfolding]

Black Forest Cuckoo Clock designed by Robert Lang, folded by David King

[@Stefan98007]

eric joisel R.I.P

[@Happyfolding]

@MrSTLucho It's a model by Eric Joisel called "Birth" - the dwarf is emerging from the square, and isn't quite completely folded yet.

[@cyrochan]

Eric Joisel is from other world :D so bad he is not alive =( We will miss him

[@lekhanh2937]

what :(((

[@Happyfolding]

@Zack0777Aran Given that I asked him questions and I recorded it... yes. :)

[@amaza888]

Bummer. I'm a good couple of hours away from Vancouver, I'm in Montreal... :-( But hey, maybe next year! Many thanks for the info though! ;-)

[@Happyfolding]

@ZEROXD555 There is a rough sketch in "Eric Joisel - The Magician of Origami", but as far as I know there's no diagrams or full CP available.

[@ddghgddg]

thats so amazing and cool

[@nils3881991]

did anyone notice how old most origami masters are?and by the way thanks for showing something of maarten van gelder,i also live in the netherlands but ive never seen anything of his work

[@gordigami]

Pacific Coast OrigamiUSA Conference , Nov. 8-12, 2007 . To be held at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver BC. Special guest will be Eric Joisel from France . ;

[@Happyfolding]

@ninjanarutochat Yes, he did. :(

[@GravityAir]

Eric Joisel is dead already. He died at 2009

[@extremeorigami]

Excellent video and very well presented. Have you ever met Vincent Floderer? He is one of my favourite origamists. He has a couple of videos on youtube too.

[@Happyfolding]

@nils3881991 Well, to be an origami "master", I guess it helps to have been in the "business" for 20 or 30 years. That gives you a lower bound for the age. Having said that, there are quite a few young, upcoming origami masters. Think of Satoshi Kamiya (probably rated to be a master when he was 17 or so), or Sipho Mabona (28, probably not a "master" - yet, but highly visible and appreciated for his work). There are many others I could list, but those are the two that came to my mind first.

[@Happyfolding]

Pangolin by Eric Joisel

[@Happyfolding]

No, I haven't had the pleasure. What's his user name here?

[@WiltonAdrianoNeto]

@AdamsSara the flying crane!! that's it! it's so great. I was wondering if you could make a vid of it?

[@Happyfolding]

Oxen by Eric Joisel

[@aDotFromTheFuture]

0:21 almost looks like the Leviathan by Tadashi Mori. Btw is there a diagram for the bull by Eric Joisel at 0:58?

[@nils3881991]

i wish i could go there..... i would ask eric joisel how he makes those fins,theyre awsome.well,i wouldnt understand him cuz i dont speak french yet

[@owenpino149]

That white dragon of Satoshi Kamiya is so epic!! I wanna have one of that! IF someday he will teach us how to do it, I will try my best to perfect it and it will be the hardest origami i have ever finished!

[@origamieder]

R.I.P Eric Joisel :(

[@Happyfolding]

University of Winchester 4 - 6 September 2009

[@essboarder23]

THIS IS JUST AMAZING. where do these take place?

[@Happyfolding]

1:0 for gordi. amaza888 - will you be going? :)

[@sum41Rck]

@AdamsSara well all of your fans know that you are not a begginer (: they've just spent alot of years practicing this hhhaa

[@redgator12]

no he did fold it It's an amazing but easy method used to fold the scales. By the way, Dave: I disagree with your diagram statement. using diagrams can help open the imagination to creat something new! I just fold a cigarette packette without cigarettes in it. It's quite easy! And great matchbox, too! Hahaha anyway nice documentary I liked it it was great!

[@ZEROXD555]

@kristoffer8462 he died in October 10, 2010

[@stop789123]

OOOH!!! i just love this fish (0:19), and if you want, if you wish, if its not a problem... do you think you could show how the butterly of Rikki Donachle is done? pleaase, i really liked it

[@TZ3Z]

Wow I can only build like planes and tanks and stuff that's awesome

[@castword]

aww. i would really like to hear what he would have to say about origami, cause I'm writing an essay about him:)

[@ZEROXD555]

is there any Eric Joisel's Pangolin Diagrams or CP??

[@Happyfolding]

@alecuo Check the diagrams section on brilliantorigami (dot) com. I also made a video on that model, but it's not the best (one from when I didn't have much experience with making videos yet). It may help if you also use the diagrams, though. Search my channel for horse.

[@Happyfolding]
