A page tears along a jagged perforation, spins out of frame, and the date is underneath.

Make your own save the date video

Tears a calendar page off to reveal a date — a save-the-date you send as a video instead of printing. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Say this to your agent

>A calendar page tearing off to reveal our date.

Or ask for a different one

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >A save the date that ends on a map pin for the venue.

  • >Tear off the page to reveal the date, then hold on our two names.

  • >A save the date for a party rather than a wedding — louder, faster, with confetti.

What it worked out on its own

  • One zig-zag generated once and used twice: the stub keeps everything above the perforation, the page keeps everything below, so the torn edge belongs to both and the fibres line up.

  • The page accelerates and rotates about the corner it was held by, because paper falls rather than slides.

  • The date arrives eight frames before the page has left. Waiting for a clean hand-off leaves a hole in the middle of a six-second piece.
