Some guy takes a moment off of work to launch a paper airplane out of his window thirty stories up. I don't know how he resists the temptation to do this all day long.

When the plane lands, there's what looks like an earlier plane in the top right of the screen.

Add *music to this. Also, that was great.

Invocations (music) cannot be called by JAPR because JAPR is not privileged - sorry.

This is a terroist video! That man was trying to take out the bridge! This should be on the "war on terror" channel.

Gotta upvote for the camera work too. Mad skill to be that steady at that zoom.

*music

That was great! I wonder if there were many takes before that one.

I think a classmate of mine at NYU film school made this film back in 1998 or so. Japanese filmmaker. Quite talented.

^that would explain it.

that would also reinforce my belief that "user generated content" is rubbish and we need more japanese film students in the world.

I love the music. Anyone know who it is? I'd guess Carter Burwell or Thomas Newman (or one of the other Newman boys).

I was totally prepared to be underwhelmed, but wasn't. At all. Dare I say it was beautiful? Yes, I dare. Big upvote

oddly compelling, a little tension and intrigue in "where will it land?"

Funny, I was very bored at the warehouse I work at yesterday and took a paper airplane about 30 feet up in a forklift to see how far it would go. Mine flew about 70 feet.

"oh no.. watch out, he's got a sharp(ish) object..! he's gonna take someones eye out!"..
come on..
how many accounts of eye-gouging with a paper airplane have you heard of?
let's see how many he can throw out before he hits someone in the eye!

but I agree with xxxovercastxxx.. pick it up, litterbug!
