The Origami Forum

One Oral-B commercial has a man fold a tooth. I'm sorry I have no video of said commercial, but does anyone who has seen this commercial know how to fold the tooth?

I've not seen that spot, but I think one of the most suitable base for a tooth should be the frog base, that has 4 long flaps (good for the tooth roots) and one big multilayer flap that can be blowed and shaped as a tooth body.

I'm thinking of a molar.

I saw that commercial too, but I had no idea if it was even possible. I thought it was just a special molding made to look like a folded paper tooth.

That is definitely possible. With a video of the commercial you should be able to slow it down and see exactly how it was done

I don't know the commercial, but in the Origami Christmas Book there will be a diagram for a detailed tooth.

Oh, I forgot to mention-to me it looks like the tooth is made from a bird base, not a frog base-they are sort of the same thing anyway, but with a bird base seems like it would be easier to modify the center into a tooth cap.

the tooth was made from a blinted frog base if you watch the video in sl mo

Is there this video in any corner of the web?
Thanks

go to youtube.com and type in "how to make oragami valentine"

One thing i noticed in the commerical though is the blintz seems to be completely unnessecary. I think its just for effect to reveal the photo at the end.

I was talking about the video of the commercial.

origami seems to be really popular in the media right now....the oral b tooth..i saw some digital thing fold a christmas tree..and though it was digital, it was still "supposed" to be origami.. neat :D

still no video-link to this advertise?

The commercial actually came on a few minutes ago. I'm carefully looking at the unfolding process, and I'm trying to get a final matching result.

If I get something, I'll post about it.

Did anybody find a video of this commercial yet?
