🌠This INSANE Origami Falling Star Changes Color On Impact!💥

[Intermediate] How to fold an Origami Falling Star that instantly changes color on impact! This model evolved out of my failed attempt to design a 3-D Star container requested by my dear friend, Miyala. To fold it, you need 8 squares of paper, no larger than 6-inch, and origami paper ("kami") works best, though printer cut into 5.5-inch squares works good too. The hinges attaching the 8 units should be creased as little as possible, because their springiness is what enables the model to suddenly transform. Eventually, after performing the drop enough times, the springiness will fade to a point where the star will no longer completely flip. However, as I show at the end of the tutorial, you can still use it as a cool origami fireworks fidget toy that rotates about itself like a hexaflexagon, and you can attach two of them together to form an even cooler looking hexaflexagon. The demo of the drop at 0:15 was odd in that the star flipped in the opposite direction. I didn't even recognize it until I watched the slowmo. I still don't understand how that happened; I think it was just a fluke, but I have noticed that sometimes the air pressure makes the star switch in mid-air before it hits the ground. Extra Tip: Near the end of its functional springiness life, the longer you leave it in the form of the white star before dropping it the less likely it will successfully flip. So drop it as soon as you can to extend its color-changing longevity just a bit.

Jeremy Shafer, I used to watch your videos many years ago since I was a little boy around the age of 10. I'm now 20 years old, studying the art of video games in university. Your origami videos is what brought out my creative ambition. And the fact that you're still posting videos to this day is really inspiring. Sorry if this comment makes you feel old, time just passes by so quick. Love and respect.

This is absolutely amazing.Amazing in that Jeremy has the capability of visualizing this Project from inception to completion.Further amazing, in that he has the manual dexterity to make what appears to be 1 of the most complex origami projects I've ever seen him do.
