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.

you guys are really talented :3 keep that up!

This is brilliant in it's own right. The style goes very well with the emotional/moody sense of adventure the score conjures up in your heart.

Man I nearly shed tears. Why don't they show animations like these in the TV ?

Obviously the story and animation, music and all was great. but what really impressed me is how you moved or directed the camera and the lighting in the movie. I could tell you used the inside glow filter on some movieclips but making the background glow realisticly somehow was really gorgeous.

that was truly heartwarming.
