Help me find the beautiful dancing napkin video!

July 29, 2009 11:28 AM

Several years ago there was a captivating video on the web of a napkin or piece of paper wafting/dancing in the gentle breeze on a street sidewalk.

It was caught in a little vortex. It was several minutes long and was quite beautiful. My google-fu has failed me and none of the search terms I can think of have turned up anything. Anybody remember this charming little video?

Try adding "American Beauty"?

And I think it was a plastic bag.

Unless you're thinking of something different?

Yep, it was a bag dancing in American Beauty.

Is there any chance you're thinking of American Beauty?

There's also a dancing scrap of paper in the movie "The Red Shoes."
