👁️🗨️ NOTES: This is an experiment from Week 9. I redoing the Butterfly Zoetrope from week 8.
Prepare:
✔️ Handmade origami Butterfly.
✔️ Tape.
✔️ Design Paper for origami purposes.
✔️ Malleable Wire.
✔️ Wood Cutting Mat.
✔️ Handmade origami Butterfly.
✔️ Paper Knives.
👆 Up here is what I prepare for my Phrases of flying butterfly Zoetrope. So this experiment only just for re-do the Butterfly Zoetrope experiment in Week 8. I had connect this project with paper engineering. And by making a butterfly with paper, it also help the butterfly became much more realistic than the experiment in Week 8.
👇 Down here are my experiment with different paper types.
👇 Here are also an experiment with thinner paper. I also take some still-life photographs for the experiment!!
✔️ Like the experiment in week 8, I prepare: Malleable Wire, Formex cardboard (5mm) and 80x80 mm (experiment) 150x150 mm paper (redo experiment).
👁️🗨️ So down here is my closer look at the details of the experiment butterfly.

👉 The process of making the butterfly is quite easier than I expected. So here are the steps to make a butterfly:
👇 So down here is a closer look at how I use the malleable wire to the subject! I also use malleable wire as the butterfly's beard.
👉 The first step is to prepare the malleable wire into shape first.
_ So why I choose the "Y" shape:
-
1st reason is helping me to cover both of the wings.
-
2nd reason is to change the direction of the wings.
👉 At the beginning of week 8 and this week 9, I have mentioned the spinning table which is one of the obvious things that I need to have to have a finished zoetrope. So that is why you can see the image next to this paragraph showing 1 part of the spinning table.
_Because of the limitation of time so I only have the spinning part to attack to formex cardboard.
_You can also see I have to attack the formed cardboard and the spinning part by using the malleable wire and glue guns to make it strongarm.
_You can see my video about it here.
👁️🗨️ After finishing all of the above, I have also taken some still-life photographs to show the final result.
👉 Here are some videos that I record for the butterfly zoetrope.
