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 have to tell you right now that this is a brilliant piece of work. I've read the inspired comic and loved it to bits, but once Emmy posted a link to this in her DA journal, I was so amazed at how well this was put together. The movement and lighting and music and UGH. It was all fantastic, and infact, I cried. It may sound stupid and cheesy but I did. :C But I think this diserved the tears because it was just so gorgeous. As a fellow artist and aspiring animator, this was a serious inspiration and made me so happy.

You did an amazing job at bringing the comic to life! I hope you make more animations of it in the future. <3

Loved the original comic, and found this to be an excellent adaption of the first quarter of the story. It'd be totally awesome if you did the rest of it, though D:

I originally found this through one of Emily Cicierega's journals, so I was expecting it to be good. That being said I was still ecstatic while watching this flash. It was really very good and definitely gives justice to the original comic! The audio and visual flowed flawlessly and your music choice really added to the feel of the flash!

It was good and everything was good until i noticed that there was only music!!! Try putting in voice and it would be good but other than that i loved it!! make another one!!!

Must have another one! Loved the music an the graphics were cool
