I've been a Emmy fan for a while and I was a little hesitant, but you captured it beautifully and made it your own. Next stop, Front Page!
The Balloon Journey

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.

The graphics really didnt do anything for me, but the feel of the movie was amazing, i seriously felt like i was watching a short made by a professional company, the camera angles and the smoothness of movement made by the characters most of the time was amazing, ive never seen such good animation other than those done professionally
only downfall for me are the graphics and drawing style, i know it wasnt your intention to make something visually stunning etc, and maybe the graphics imitate those in the comic, i dont know, but really, while it doesnt suit my taste, it absoultely does not detract from the movie at all
amazing job, keep it up
Beautifull in all aspects, the friendly manner of that sea beast. the music, the animation, the theme, everything; and that cute little raven =).
Newgrounds needs more silent films like this.
Best wishes in all your endeavors; Jaed'rik & the DTPA
I absolutely love your style of animation! Stick on top of that some perfect Has Zimmer compositions and it's one of the best flash movies I have ever seen.
I loved it. I thought it was spectacular.
the animation was of its own style, which may have had a few kinks in the flow, but on whole, it was very pleasing to watch.
and the music was even greater!
