One photo and you’re the dancer in the night barn: tiptoe in, shush the camera, flash the grin and dance in a velvet tailcoat, with the Rumpelstiltskin song.
Same barn, same cuts, same song, with a different face on the dancer each time; tap one to watch.
One photo goes in. A few minutes later, the finished video comes out, ready to post.
No dancing and no costume needed; one clear photo of your face is enough.

You creep into the night barn on tiptoe, in a velvet tailcoat and bow tie.
A finger goes to your lips to hush the camera.
A close-up of a slow, mischievous grin.
Arms wide, you dance on your toes across the barn.
The camera drops to the curled shoes dancing through the straw.
The clearer your face, the more the dancer looks like you.
One face, looking at the camera, nothing covering it.

GroupsCrop to just youYour Rumpelstiltskin video comes out finished, so there’s nothing to edit before you post it.
The Rumpelstiltskin trend is a short fairy-tale scene: in a hay barn at night, a small man in a black velvet tailcoat and curled pointed shoes tiptoes up behind a crying girl, shushes the camera, flashes a wide, slightly unhinged grin and dances on tiptoe.
It comes from a short AI film of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale, cut fast between his grin, her shock and his curled shoes bouncing through the straw.
It’s creepy and funny at once, and it’s funnier still with a face your friends know on the dancer.
