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.

5. :D

I think you did a beautiful job capturing the first part of the 'Balloon Journey' and the soundtrack was the most amazing accompaniment. My only complaint would probably be - I would have preferred cleaner edges on the people, other than that, you did an amazing job. Beautiful.

I've been a fan of Emmy for years now and The Balloon Adventure was definitely her best work. I had high expectations for this animation as I'm sure, every other fan of Emmy Cicerega did.

You did an AMAZING job. Captured her style and the comic's mood perfectly. And judging from Emmy's most recent LJ entry, you did her proud. :)

Absolutely fantastic work!
