ZAGAZOO - ORAGAMI AND SKETCH UP!

9/15/2013

I know I said I was going to work on the elephant or the warthog this weekend, but instead I took a slight detour and ended up in the world of origami and Sketch Up. Both require lots of patience and time, but with a little focus can produce incredible results!

ORIGAMI
With the help of a video from a YouTube Channel called, Jeremy Shaffer Origami, I learned how to make a flapping bat. The bat we need for Zagazoo has to be large, so I used a piece of paper 35" x 35" (more than three times the size of the paper used in the video below). I was a little skeptical about how it would work with roofing paper instead of traditional origami papperr, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. The extra weight gives the wings a graceful flapping motion that is going to look great on stage. Now I just have to paint it. Thanks,  Jeremy! Shafer!

SKETCH UP
Sketch Up is a 3D drawing program. I tired it a a few years ago and gave up out of frustration, but thanks to a few online video tutorials, I was able to use it to start visualizing the set for the show. Here are two renderings I did to get a better sense of how much space we'll have on and off stage.
