Thank you so much, Matthew, for all of your wonderful, inventive art, and for being so generous to teach us how to make our own pop-ups. I really, really appreciate you doing this.
Super! I really, really, really wanted to make a dinosaur like this, but I don't have the imagination to do it right. Thank you, thank you very very much for this video!
I just love seeing these and learning from them. I got a couple of your amazing books, and I made an eagle from one of your jaw mechanism videos. One of my favourite Christmas presents I ever got, was Sharks and other sea monster. I'm so amazed by that sea scorpion in the beginning, and would love to see tutorials on that, of any of those from these book, including the smaller ones, like the Titanic Turtle. Just to name a few 🤓
So great, thank you very much. I have one question to Mr. Reinhart, unfortunately not relating to this clip, but I want to write it down anyway: Since the news of a new Middle-Earth movie from Peter Jackson and his team, is there any chance that we could see the creation of maybe a series of big Pop Up books surrounding the Middle-Earth Universe? I have this thought since the releases of your wonderful Harry Potter Pop Up books. Thanks again for your masterful creations and the joy it brings to so much people, including me. Greetings from Germany.
This is insanely good, I LOVE learning how to plan and combine the different mechanisms, please please please do more of these complex projects! Thank you for this!!!!
Prof. I have a question about planning a pop up book, like how do you choose a good scene (from a story/movie) to make into a pop up book spread? do you have any tips for that?
I think about what's visually interesting about a scene. Think about your pop-up book like a movie - you wouldn't want to see the entire movie from one angle - you 'd want to see far shots, close-ups, etc. I try to think about what elements, characters, scenes, and environments would be cool to experience in moving 3-D paper structures. Sometimes I have to critically analyze my ideas along the way and not get married to any concept once I've gotten feedback. I'm not always right at first!
I have tried made t-rex with your video and I completed it but I don't know why the mount has some problems when I open it. It looks different than your t-rex
