We all have fascinated with paper planes during our school days but no one at that time had thought about making money out of it or taking it as a profession. In Australia, things are slightly different, they do take it as a competition at national level. Two guys from Australia named James Norton and Dylan Parker visited Arfa Software Technology Park to meet PlanX and Plan9 startups. So they had a session in the auditorium hall and everyone had a great time with them. If you don't know about these guys let me give you just a small intro.
Dylan and James have made a movie on Paper planes which was released in spring last season. The movie got a good response. Dylan Parker aged 28 is a marketing expert and James Norton aged 30 is a landscape architect. Dylan and James both were studying at University of Canberra and met in 2008 at a paper plane competition for the first time. Since then, they have been doing things together.
They were here at ASTP to promote paper planes. A day before meeting us they had a session with school kids as well and engaged them in flying planes. In a session with us, they talked about their journey and the movie. In the second half, they taught us how to make a different kind of paper planes. There were the flat ones that spend the most time in the air and the short bullet-shaped ones that fly like javelins. The designs were incredible. First, they threw flat one and I grabbed it in fact out of five planes I grabbed three of them, PlanX staff asked me to return those plane as she had to put all the planes on a wall at their office. In the end, everyone made three types of planes each and there were paper planes flying all over everywhere. A very good and exciting session ended with a smile and joy on the faces of all.
Well, most of you will be thinking like they were freaks in a "Why are you taking it so seriously?" but really it is an untapped area and unseen sight as they both are doing a tremendous job. Have a look at the movie trailer too.
