I have started learning how to fold simple origami creatures, a
rabbit and a dinosaur. At this point I do not have a storyline in my mind yet,
and I think I might make things up as I continue learning how to fold different
characters. I can foresee that the process will be long as I have to stop after
finishing each origami step to take a photo of the paper as it takes form. I am
also worried about whether or not it will look successful as a stop motion as I
have not done it before and might have overlooked certain details as I took the
photos.
I decided to use Pic Pac, a phone application, to test my first set of photos. Pic Pac allows me to directly upload the photos
I have taken with my smartphone and puts them together into a short videoclip.
I can also duplicate clips and merge them, but these will cost money. At this
point in time, I only need to collate the images as a test run.

Pic Pac has allowed me to visualize just how my project
might look like, and I think I can continue with this idea. However, I’m still
having trouble with generating a storyline and will have to keep looking for
inspiration elsewhere.
