I started with paper that was 40cm wide and 4m long. I think it took me about 90min to fold. Finding the right background music actually took longer. The irony of it all...
It's somewhat harder than with "average size" paper. But not overly so, actually. I think that's mostly because there aren't really folds in that sequence where you have to hold both ends of the paper and such. Else it'd get quite complicated. :)
I found it in a mall in Germany, probably Kaufhof or something of the like. It was marked as paper for wrapping books (covers for protection). I think it was around when school started...
Well, Eastern dragons do look snake-like. Granted, I gave it an extra pair of legs (as requested by my assistant), so it's somewhat disformed. As to my assistant, indeed he was helpful - he got the dragon after folding, too. :)
joseph wu... how can he/she design this model????? ok... i like origami and my favourite origami (of your videos) is crowding butterflies by shuzo fujimoto (i spelled right?) post more videos!!
i like them so much! AND HAPPY FOLDING :-)

It's quite amazing actually. Isn't it hard to fold since it's so large?

It looks not like Eastern Dragon, but a snake or something. Video seems very funny and you have a great assist!

Eastern dragon
Well, Eastern dragons do look snake-like. Granted, I gave it an extra pair of legs (as requested by my assistant), so it's somewhat disformed. As to my assistant, indeed he was helpful - he got the dragon after folding, too. :)

Did you memorize the model to fold it for this video?

Not sure
Probably I did have it memorized. Might be that I had a look at the diagrams in between, though. It's been a while since I recorded this. :)
