After struggling for a week to find a good tutorials on Pinterest and RU-vid, I landed up here and tadaaaa... this is so kind of you to showcase everything in such detailed manner, i totally love how you make everything look simple to do.. such a good job.. May you get everything in life!
thank you again Duncan... I can't tell how much I enjoy doing pop-ups with my son. I totally appreciate your book and these on-line tutorials. The templates of your CAR pg. 170 is also an excellent working example of this technique that I personally have used and admired. Thanks again and looking forward to your next book, cheers, Stu
I fell in love with your channel, and also with the pop ups. I think i found a new hobby. Watching you making these adorable art pieces is fantastic. I'm really looking forward to make my own pop ups. Thank you for your patience to share these amazing works with us!
I love pop up books and always think it’s so hard for me. Thank you so much for sharing those secret in pop up books, I can try it myself now. Love this channel!!!
I'm making a pop-up book for a buddhism temple here in Guang Zhou, China. Thank you so much for sharing with us your passion for the pop-ups! Will donate to this channel when I finish my bood :)
Your tutorials are so good, you explain so well, I request you to please give a tutorial for rotating 2 wheels simultaneously, as u shows only one wheel rotating, please make a video which shows a car wheels rotating.
Thank you so much for this, Duncan - I have your book, which I use a lot, but for some reason I was struggling with this concept and was getting a bit muddled, so this really helped explain where I was going wrong! I am looking forward to having some fun with this now; thanks again!
Thanks Duncan, I love so much your channel. I would very much apreciate you to explain how did you create the exemple of the car, with tow wheels moving at the same time. I want to use it in a bicycle. Congratulations for the channel.
Truly a great tool you offer..well done videos. I'M already working on my 2023 chrismass cards...the knowledge one needs to know is really big so I'll stick to cartoons and continue doing popups for fun and for relatives...here's the one I made with my characters...Again merci beaucoup for the popup channel...I really learn on your channel...Bonne continuation...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tpw0ZD62Ieo.html&ab_channel=RobertLafontaine
Thank you so much for your tutorials! It's very helpful! But one question where I can see a tutorial on how to make a racing horse from Robert Sabuda's book?
I love this series and I'm working my way through all of them. This one was less clear, though. How is the wheel secured to the L-piece? Just at the centre, along one leg of the L, or what?
I took a paper engineering class in college and my professor used work with Sabuda, and she helped make the Christmas book. I remember going over the rotating mechanisms in the book with her. I'm trying to imitate the multiple rotating circles that the book has, but I want to conceal the mechanism completely like with the Red Riding Hood book. Do you have any suggestions as to how to do that? My mechanism often crashes when I try because there's no proper room for movement.
Start with the basic parallelogram with the added little "L" shaped piece (2.00 in the tutorial). Then, before adding the turning wheel, add the "masking piece" - in essence this should be like the purple piece at 5.56 or the green piece at 6.43, but in this case it should be bigger (like the bed in "Little Red Riding Hood"). This "masking piece" has a hole in it which the "L" shaped piece rises up through. Before adding the rotating image make sure that as the spread opens and closes the arm of the "L" shaped piece can rotate without snagging or jamming. Finally, glue the rotating image to the arm of the "L". Hope this helps and it all works now.
It's really amazing!!! I like the action it creates. Is the mechanism under the white clock in "The Night Before Christmas" similar with the ones you introduced in tutorial 27 (pull strips)?
In "The Night Before Christmas" - the clock design on the left hand page is a very sophisticated combination of mechanisms - all the movement is generated by an Automatic Pull Strip (Tutorial 16) which is hidden under the ribbon at the bottom of the page - the clock hand is moved by the type of mechanism explained in Tutorial 27 - the little mouse that turns its head over is based on the mechanism explained in Tutorial 42 (Pull Tabs Part 5). All the clocks on the right hand side of the page, under the flap, are based on the mechanism explained in Tutorial 24.
The Pop-Up Channel Thanks a lot for replying me. I was confused in the beginning since I thought there's no enough space behind the clock for a parallel fold plus a counter v-fold which you explained in this Tutorial 24. Therefore, although the clock hand is rotating as well, it must be done by different way. How a delicate design it is! Thanks again.😊
The amount that the circle rotates is determined by the angles of the little triangles that are folded into the corner of the parallelogram - usually this is 45 degrees, I've made one that will move around 60 degrees but after that the angle gets too acute. Maybe you could experiment.
If you've got the measurements right (Tutorial 5) then the problem could be because the card you're using is too flimsy - maybe making the bending piece double thickness would help.
Maybe tutorial 15. Or for something really easy you could use a V-Fold explained in Tutorial 2, but use the base as a background with the pop-up coming forward from it, cut the pop-up to the shape of two arms with hands on thhem.
sir this is amazing but somethings are very difficult iam begginer please show me some easy and short pop up tequinics its my request oterwise you are very very very very talanted
The best pop-ups are made using card not paper. The best card is as thin as possible and as rigid as possible. The bigger the design the more rigid the card needs to be. For a small design heavy Cartridge paper would be ok. For most of the tutorials I use the type of card used in photo copy machines - that is 160 gsm.. For big designs best would be about 220 gsm.
Hello its me again. Could you please explain how that red riding hood worlks please? Im trying to make a grandpa clock and wanna know how im gonna make the whole cuboid with the central piece rotating as u open it
