Ok, I watched part of it. Here are my criticisms so far.

1. I think you might have meant 30 CENTIMETERS. 30mm seems kind of small. I&#39;d have just said "A ruler or straight edge".
2. I&#39;d have also said DF4L&#39;s full name.
3. Lighting could be better.
4. Maybe have everything set up in a well lit room on a table.
5. You might also list some of the other methods available. Like hot glue, super glue, elmers glue, or rubber cement, and the X-acto knife or pen and ruler methods. I personally freehand it with the X-acto knife. I also use elmers glue.

Very well made. Just some criticisms, Need more light which i think is the most major issue, and you could have made the speed part twice as fast. Otherwise its good

thanks for the constructive critsism well i could reupload the video with the brightness turned up a little if that would help

and the reason why i said 30mm is because thats what it says on my ruler and for some reason its space apart like centimeters. so im a little confused with the metric system

and i change the first post so the vid plays on first post

and yea i see what you guys mean about speeding it up oh and is the music a good idea or a no no?

In my opinion, I think it&#39;s fine. The only problem with it is that the music randomly changes volume levels. By the way, love that song, haven&#39;t heard it in ages...

i turned it up during the speed parts to keep people from being bored

awsome vid and helm! I gotta use DF4L helm like u did and its real smooth(i have it somewhere in my files) . I never thought of using elmers since i use Krazy glue since im impatient and want a quick bond along glueing my fingers together ^.^

Also um u use the sharp end of the X-Acto knife to score but light slide the line right? Because i just use my fingers with no knife since i do origami a bit and the lines for me makes it easier for me to fold.

with an xacto knife you should lightly slice the paper so it bends in one direction and it looks cleaner too

I myself prefer to use pens but I hear exacto gets real good folds too. Oh and alittle cutting tip. When cutting with scissors, cut in straight lines. Like if your cutting out a tab part make 3 cuts and not one continuous one. It can make folding alot easier and you wont round off any parts.
