How to Make an Origami Reverse Sync

Video Transcript

"There are many types of folds in origami and some of them are quite confusing. Hi my name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to teach you today about a reverse sync. This one is a very difficult one to do usually because you will be in the middle of some grandiose project that you have undertaken in origami and then it will call for reverse sync and basically what you will have to do is basically unfold the whole project just reverse sync your points. So let me show you exactly what I'm talking about here. I'm starting with a water bomb base and what I am doing here is I am just taking the top and I'm folding it down and I have got this crease here. As it stands here you can see it is kind of a triangle shape and what I want to do is I want to reverse sync that down and to do that I'm actually going to have to open this whole model and increase it along those lines folding it back up like so. I mean you can see how difficult this is just doing it here and there we go. There is your basic reverse sync and now as you can see the point is no longer the top it is now focused on the bottom. Now this one is really easy compared to some of the ones I have done before where you have got 20 something folds into a point and you need to reverse sync that point and you have got to unfold the whole thing to get it down. So this is really it and I hope it kind of explains a little more exactly what a reverse sync is so the next time you come across it either in videos that you see me do or in books you will be able to do that with some efficiency so play around with it, have fun and enjoy."
