How To Make an Origami Penguin

February 2016

What kind of sweet skills impress the ladies? Why, origami, of course! And penguins because, well, penguins.

Stuck in a group project for a Foundations of Multimedia class, Joseph was bound and determined to make something more than a basic instructional video. With a five minute time limit and only a month to finish the project, Joseph mastered “origami penguinship” in three days, allowing the team to focus on the presentation the rest of the month.

Lindsey provided the idea and process, James recorded the footage, Zack voiced and co-scripted the video with Joseph, Joseph made all the visual stuff and edited the final video, and Sarah kept everyone in line and made sure Zack and Joseph didn’t go too far overboard.

Fun fact: Joseph made and colored 39 penguins of various sizes (not including the hordes from three-plus weeks of practice) just to make a seven second long joke. He also made a giant mega penguin out of a poster board that still sits on his desk today.

Okay, that’s actually two fun facts. Joseph’s just the kind of guy to keep on giving.
