X-ray Origami is Damn Cool.

I watched Between the Folds not too long ago, and it was amazing to see the things people can build with a sheet of paper.
The x-ray images are amazing.

I keep waiting for Between The Folds to finally be online in its entirety. Because that's something I would love to see FPPed. Completely fascinating, and great stuff.

Never seen origami done with transparent sheets before. Great idea. I wonder how difficult it would be to print the diagram and then fold it yourself?

Only if you're paying for Netflix access for everyone who might read the MetaFilter post and might want to watch it.

The X-ray thing is interesting. Not entirely sure how I feel about it, but it definitely works for the artist, so that's cool. (as an origami artist myself, we often get fussy about the specifics of our craft, which can be pretty amusing. I digress.)
I love Between the Folds, and can't recommend it enough. Since it got picked up by PBS' Independent Lens, it's often played on your local PBS station (US only, that is):

Check out the "Local Listings", it might be on soon in your area. Also, check with your local library, as librarians love origami and often have it available for checking out.

Yeah, I'm going to highly recommend Between the Folds as well. While I can still knock out a paper crane, it's like Chopsticks compared to the Rachmaninoff concertos in the movie.
This is a wonderful post Glinn, thanks for sharing!
