Animate 101 

Its been long since I've wanted to have book called "Animate 101" Its here hypothetically and will be with me not so long after I create something undreamt of. Speaking of creation, I  know someone who reminds me of the grandeur of creation. Covid-19 ; such a boundless creation it is! Although being 1.9 years old, it has met billions of people round the globe within 2 years. After meeting this creation I realized how august creation is. 

Everything eyes show us is an eminent creation indeed. I got a deeper dive into this thought when I started off with complex origami.And now after all these years nothing gives me more joy than finishing an intricate origami model. 


All of us  have that zeal to create and that is what fills our life actually. Many believe that they lack that creativity, this of course being entirely false is the reason majority is still in a oppressed state of mind. 

Taking a common example; a video from WIRED on YouTube tried a explain the eleven levels of origami. The video showcased 11 levels of folding a cicada with increasing complexity and details in subsequent levels. Most of the viewers had a pungent feeling about it and they straight away declared that they're not so artistic. But, let me tell you the scene of the comments section. The first comment goes like this, "Level-20- The cicada now looks more realistic as you can see here that I’ve folded each blood cell.”  


Then the next comment, "Level-40 : The cicada actually starts gaining consciousness.”;  "Level 50:- If you don't Fold this cardiac muscle right, the heart won't beat at all." And at level 100- The cicada actually attempts to fold you !  

Such a mockery of a great art, but these comments left me tinkering. These people in the comments are as much creative as the origamist himself. 
Most of us shower our creativity in such unseen ways. 


So unleash your creativity in productive ways and live your life with the joy your animation/ live creation brings. 

What  I can say to conclude is that anyone can be a creator. It means that not everyone can become a great artist but, a great artist may come from anywhere. And that includes you too!
