Great job, simply charming. Music goes so well with the animation. These few minutes were the best in the latest few months of my life :D

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.
Animation by me

It's an unusual style, but that makes it so wonderful. I enjoyed it very much.
I think when the people at macromedia/adobe first put filters into flash 8, they were hoping people would use it for stuff like this.
Its amazing how some lighting effects can help match animation to whatever backround canvas its against.
gorgeous.
also good call on using Hans Zimmer music. Zimmer is a god.
Considering u're not the original artist, u did quite a good job animating it
There's alot of room for improvements, but nevertheless it's a great attempt
The animation n the music simply fits together, it's wonderful
btw, I saw the original comic n wondering if u goin to create the continuation?
It would be great to see some improvement, cheers.
That flash was just great, the art, the animation, the concept and i might forget some, everything was amazing, you got alot of talent, keep up the good work!
