The Artist, The Engineer, The Father, The Postermodernist, The Choreographer, and The Anarchist

Between the folds is a film that beautifully displays the association of science and the arts. The film starts extremely abruptly, with a voiceover that would probably put you asleep, if you weren't so entranced by the beautiful cinematography. This intro is followed up by the worlds longest showcase of names, that's is distracting and boring. We are then introduced to our subjects (the artist, the engineer, etc.), and although the subject themselves are interesting, the camera work is rough. It's strange work, because it has the shakiness of handheld work, but the fluidity of being mounted in a tripod. The writer does a nice job of providing a central theme and stringing it throughout the film.
Overall it was a nice film, functional but still fun, and well recieved by the viewer. It taught many important ideas, such as "the object looks good if the process was good."
I would suggest this film to anyone who looks to Oragami as an art form and is looking to learn how to "breath life into the paper."
