Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

*UPDATE* Hundreds I mean literally hundreds of people are asking me about the music. The most common question is, who made them? It says on the credits... The holiday OST by Hans Zimmer.....
The songs used:
"Anything can Happen"
"Cry"
"Maestro"

*Warning. This is graphic heavy. Medium Quality is recommended... and flash 8 player*

Yeah I know, you guys haven't seen me do stuff for over a year now... Most of my stuff usually goes on other forums and my DeviantArt page.

Don't expect too much of this one, it does not have any complex full frame by frame animation like my On Your Mark p.1 for example. It's more supposed to be more of an emotional/moody experience, rather than having an all crazy action here and there footage.

This is based on an online comic from DeviantArt, simply called the "Balloon comic" by Emmy Cicierega!

Her comic style is hard to imitate for me in my opinion. I did the first 3 pages, but overall, I screwed up the designs. You can read the rest of the story here and see how it ends, its a great read.

Reviews

I loved the art and music you used in this. It brought the whole flash to life!

One of the best animation I've seen a while, A very moving piece.

The animation, despite its lack of "complex frame by frame" construct, achieves a very stylized body that flows with the pacing, music, and overall story near flawlessly.

I really enjoyed the subtle "raven" character that was friends with the female character in this, A nice little touch that I thought was very well fitting.

The intro and ending credits were also very impressive, with nice fades, transitions and nice ring effects. Well done.

Much respect is due here, And I think you succeeded in doing Emmy Cicieraga's story justice, as I find myself curious to go and check it out now.

I loved the entire thing, especially the way it was animated. great job on this, and you deserve every star given to you.

awsome trueley aw inspiring great animation

Very good animation and musical sense but it didn't really appeal to me, from the other reviews though people liked it.
Good job, nice work
