You'll be amazed to see the same creation 8 years before!
Mathias Røyrvik 1 year ago

So what? Even if this was a copy, the copy was so much better then the original.

The filming and quality blew your sorry YouTube flick out of the air...

Really cool video! And it sure did get some distance. I was just waiting for the person in the car or the one walking by to pick it up ^^,
Nick Douglas 1 year ago

Easy, man! I like both films. Two people had similar fantastic ideas, and both carried them out with style.

I enjoyed the vertiginous loss of perspective in this long shot, when the plane glides out in front of the faraway bridge and only a vague sense of scale reminds us that the little folded paper hasn't in fact gone over the water.
Matt 1 year ago

That got some major distance!

Almost wondered if you were going to put a mini-camera on the airplane and throw it :P

Now that would be awesome!

expected a camera free fall. on seeing the paper plane, started wondering about lightweight cameras that would mount the flight.

great skill behind that paper though.

Pretty sweet. I thought the camera was gonna be thrown as well. The Birth soundtrack is one of my all time faves.
Luc Shelton 1 year ago

For a second there I thought you were going to attach a camera to it and then throw it out.

Regardless, that was really quite cool considering how simple the concept was. Totally loved it.
Josh Jenkins 1 year ago

If they had done that, I would've been a lot more afraid, in a thrilled kind of way.
Paul 1 year ago

Fantastic! really nice idea, super music as well! that made me smile!! 10 out of 10
Michael Fletcher 1 year ago

That's a $ 500 fine for littering. Ha Ha!!!! Why dont you do a where's Matt and throw them from tall buildings all around the world. I was waiting to see a car run over the plane or even the person walking past pick it up. That would of been the fitting finale. Cool stuff.
David Boudreau 1 year ago

I thought it was going to just another lame video of someone throwing a paper airplane from a super tall office building but you made the mundane into a beautiful masterpiece. brilliant!

Thanks for that link Riccardo. It's fascinating the way the same idea can develop independently. Both great videos.

You followed it so well, never lost sight of the plane.

I can hear my mother now - 'you could of blinded someone if it hit them in the eye!'
Frunobulax 1 year ago

Brings back memories. Still remember tearing up the yellow pages at the old Hotel Holland on 42nd back in 1981. One plane made back by the window ten minutes after I threw it out.
Greg Oppman 1 year ago

That made my day for sure!!

Follow the above link. I always thought it would make a nice memorial no 911.

Great!
J Meyer 1 year ago

It was okay - interesting idea. I'd like to see it expanded out a bit more. Had to be tough to follow the flight path of it as you had to zoom to maintain focus. I'd like to see one of those large styrofoam gliders go out that window rigged up with a very small camera and edit the different perspectives together...just an idea. Looking forward to future project !
