The document describes an animation created by the author where a piece of paper transforms itself through origami into a 3D sculpture to improve its appearance. The author got into origami as an accessible art form using just paper and hands. Storyboards were created to help learn how to animate an image growing and receding into the background, which was incorporated into the animation. Bringing together the author's fine art skills with digital technology through programs like Final Cut Pro was a new experience that the author hopes to continue exploring with other origami animation projects.

1. “A Paper’s Turn AtSelf-Improvement”From Concept To Reality

2. Design ConceptThe goal was to transform a 2D thing into a 3D object.Synopsis: The piece of paper doesn’t like how it looks, and makes the decision to improve its appearance.The animation represents a combination of fine art (origami & photography) and computer design (Final Cut Pro).

3. Background/ResearchI got into origami because it’s an accessible and cheap art form.No need for special tools or materials. Just your hands and scrap paper.

4. StoryboardsPage 1Page 2Page 3Page 4The flip book helped me learn how to make an image grow from a background and recede into it.I incorporated it into my animation.

5. ConclusionMy fine art skills have successfully come together with digital technology, which is new for me.If I could move forward, I would continue trying stop-motion animation with other origami projects, just to see their transformation from paper to sculture.
