  • landing was awesome!

  • It would be cool if you could put in titles & arrows showing places of interest.

  • why Mozart Requiem???

  • @hansl72

    why not?

  • @hansl72

    feels rather arbitrary.

    requiem for Berlin? Or for the balloon perhaps?

  • mozart

  • This is awesomeee! :)

  • If you are in Rotterdam i would love to chase these kind of things it such a funny game :D

  • we might do antwerp soon. is that close enough?

  • Sorry thats to far, if you are comming in Rotterdam please leave a note :)

  • once again, one of the grear yt features that has been overshadowed. sucks that yt doesnt feature video how they used to.

  • yeah what's up with youtube? getting a bit too much these days!

    thanks for the comment!

  • wow i gotta try that

  • that was kinda cool

  • kinda thanks!

  • lol this is pimp

  • i cant read any thing lol

  • that vid is so cool lol

  • Cooler when they blow up condoms and sent world wide lol

  • I don't like seeing the team/process of making this. it ruined the magic of it. I'm still down with the balloon project, tho, don't get me wrong.

  • that's why we upload both. the chase and the aerial. see: Berlin By Red Balloons

  • Beautyful!

  • this was a neat vid

  • sehr geniale Idee. eigentlich ein wunder das vorher noch niemand darauf gekommen ist ;)

    Congratulations for the Award !

  • let's hope more cameras come back to us...

  • lol yeah i was wondering how do u get ur cameras back or do u do it at all cuz they are not cheap u know...

  • Beautiful! fascinating! what an interesting idea! Simple concept and well done!!

  • time yes but money no

  • lol sory i did watch the movie longer and have came to the conclusion that they are skint. i thought at the start they had money becouse they atatched a camera to a baloon then i realised the camera was shit and they were realy glad to get it back thus conclusion was later met after posting my uneducated comment

  • Great idea. Congrats guys!

  • Allein die Idee ist schon klasse!

  • Thanks for the response.

    I facebook but don't want to put it up over the web...

    Rach

  • What is the music piece that is playing in the background?

    I think the idea is awesome. I go to Berlin every winter(I'm Canadian)to hang out at White Trash and such holes in the wall that i think are rad. I'll look you guys up the next time I'm there...

  • yes do that! but maybe we'll come to canada first...

  • It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Requiem". Parts of its Latin lyrics you can find in my comments below.

  • Et tibi redetur votum in Jerusalem, Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet, Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua lucet eis. Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison. Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeculum in favilla, teste David cim Sybilla.
  • Requiem aeternam, dona eis, Domine,

    et lux pepetua donat eis.

    De decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion,

  • Over Berlin!!! If the Fuehrer knew that...

  • the idea is great, but dont like the editing very much

  • it was just a test. check out our other balloon projects for different editing :) thanks

  • ahahahah great!

  • isn't that kinda risky?

    you may lose your cam.

  • i like the smell of risk

  • regardless the scenery was amazing

    :D

  • ggoo

  • ggoo

  • cool und jürgen? cousin vom gummi? ansonsten grüße aus franken ;)

  • GREAT IDEA!!!

    :-)

  • bravi, complimenti

  • incredible!!!! 5 STARS.. one of best homemade video EVER

  • wow! thanks! (i made it)

  • i loved this

  • GREAT JOB!!!!

    Do it everywhere in the world!!!!

  • We will try!

    thanks!

  • MAN, lest euch die INFO von ihm durch!!!

    da steht alles

  • Ist ein geiles Projekt! Aber ich möchte jetzt schon mal wissen, wie ihr die Kamera wieder gefunden habt??

  • coole sache... leider sind wirklich krasse höhen wohl unmöglich oder? da man die kamera ja wiederfinden muss

  • omg...

    sry if i don't speak german but i am italian....but...shit!!!! YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!

    GREAT IDEA!!! CONTINUE TO DO THESE THINGS!!!

  • thank you, we will!

  • nice idea but the weather is realy bad!

  • the mozart music score im beautiful but i can seem to use the url adress you posted to find it!? !!! can you help me out! but apart from that how did you recover the tape? was there an address on the camera just in case?

  • great done

  • I like this...send me a camera I'll buy a lot of balloons and let it off here in Hollywood...maybe well capture Paris in her underwear...lol!

  • paris doesn't wear underwear.

  • although, that said as we speak there are dental floss companies all over the world looking for a way to apply underwear to famished people in a way that doesn't make them look ridiculous. so maybe soon

  • Haha, did you use 99 red balloons?

  • that would've been great! :)

  • cool

  • Great idea, sadly film too long and confusing and ineffective editing. Hopefully the NY one will improve on this as the idea is still great.

  • superb !

  • Coole idee. wieso habt ihr nicht auf einen sonnigen tag gewartet? die bilder wären auf jedenfall besser geworden. und die musik ist auch passend ausgewählt finde ich.

  • I found it confusing with all the different screens, but the idea was cool. I thought it would be remake of the Red Balloon-that German film of the balloon floating all over town.

  • thats fucking cool

  • this is so boring what was the point on doing that just for a video

  • it shows stuff that people cant see from the ground, and if you think its boring, why add it to your favs?

  • excellent

  • Well worth the 10:56 seconds of my Life.

  • lol my oh my this is in my favorites

  • that was totally cool....

  • How come it doest float all the way to the sun? & then burst & fry your camera? It was the highest at 4 mins & then you looked like you lost a balloon to the wind & it started plummeting well gliding slowly down after that.

  • because by the time it left the earths atmosphere there'd be no pressure left to hold the balloons together.

  • oh come on, everyine knows that that is mozarts requiem... i'm friggin 15 and i know that

  • oh wow, u can read the video description.. applause..

  • donnie darko

  • inventive

  • Seen this 2 weeks ago. 5*****s. Guys.

  • Superb and highly imaginative piece of filmmaking. Well done you Balloon mad crazy people! As the song goes...99 Red Balloons...

    RonanG

  • 4 videos on screen but I have only 2 eyes!

  • it doesn't say you have to watch them all at the same time...

    but thanks anyways for watching

  • yes, is great job!!! gracias

  • You should have put 99 Red Balloons somewhere in here.

  • Cool vid.

    But, whats the song called? I want to use it in a video too later maybe.

  • I love it!

    Thanks for the work!

  • omg that was so frikkin cool! lol

  • it looks like its being filmed from a plane!

  • This was awesome! I loved how the music fits perfectly! Great job!

  • wow that was an amazin idea and it looks so pro done....looks more like a tv thing than something from youtube ! !! thumbs up!

  • Great Video! thumbs up! =D

    hey could anyone please visit my channel, i've only been on youtube for 2 weeks now and i would really appreciate some video views & possibly a few subscribers to get me going,

    thanks :-)

  • howd you get you cam back?

  • watch our video titled Getting The Camera Back

  • Beautiful thing man.

  • Is time travel to the past possible?

  • very cool tunes

  • lol

  • brilliant idea, editing sound, everthing just fits together perfectly 5* : )

  • wow, that is such a good idea, i love the video and the music-choice :)

  • INCREDIBLE! Thats genius, guys and well done on a compelling and interesting video. Well worth watching.

  • wow,five star!

  • Great video idea!

    Nice decent and landing too :)

  • might not be worth chasing the blowups alone.....so stick ya vid cam to it!..(good qual pic too..A VID type WORTH MAKING you be like high grade!

  • This is amazing! really cool idea! but somehow i doubt this is what google maps do lol. They have a high enough budget not to need to use balloons and video cameras!

  • i hear this is how they take pictures for google maps

  • fascinating viewing.....congratulations on a great project. :-)

  • Wow.

  • Genius!

  • brilliant ! pure art

  • That vid went on for just a bit to long... they should make a shortened 2min version

  • i'll think about it...

  • great idea!!! : )

     J

  • sux that it was a rainy day :(

  • Good vid btw.

  • Nice idea and Berlin is a great city too. Give you 5* for the effort.

    C+.

  • Use google earth next time

  • haha i agree ~!

  • humm, nah it's not my thing,

    I mean Wacthing a film for over 10 minites

    just seeing a bloody baloon flying in the air is pritty boring!

  • my name is ira. thank you!

  • up the brits, fuck the IRA.

    You are part of a virtually non-existant group. Nobody cares anymore, just go suck your cock off in the corner.

  • No Surrender.

  • love your neighbors ned.

  • thats great

    i did think about about what would happen if u attached a camera to balloons and let it go

    woo, well done balloon project

  • next time u should put a tracer on the camera lol reli kl though :)

  • how interesting.....

  • How are you people not youtube partners?

  • Anyone remember the film.Frence i think it is about a boy and a red balloon,its old maybe 30 years +That was/is a classic.maybe that was the influence

  • Is it called The Red Balloon?

    the color was chosen at the last minute but maybe subconsciously we remembered that great film!

  • Yeah thats it,very memorable

  • well red or orange would have been the easiest color to see...im guessing thats why you chose red?

  • you guessed right

  • How does your camera still work???

    haha

  • not sure. and there wasn't even a scratch on the thing!

  • at 04:53 it looks like a beaver!!

  • gr8 video

    but your camera must of got soaked!

  • thanks!

    we waterproofed it just before the launch.

  • well done what a gentleman you are. I bet you're really proud : )

  • loved the landing ! when it got to the edge of the roof i thought they would have lost it - then the trees ! reminded me of the moon landing .

  • there were trees on the moon?

  • i like cake

  • i love cake

  • There's something so peaceful about this half way through, the way it's just slowly floating...not a care in the world, while the world below is busy carrying on...in a rush.

  • thanks psycho!

  • This could provide an alternative explanation for Hawking's observation: a time machine will be built someday,but hasn't yet,so the tourist from the future can't reach this far back in time.

  • I have got a massive face

  • good for you m8

  • if only a by-stander had a slingshot :P

    T.B.C

  • That's so cool. Im gald it landed on the ground and just missed the roof of that building. Very very cool.

  • w.e this never true i tried i and it never

  • Berlin must surely had a rare site that day. Red ballons in the air, with a camera dangling.

  • they needed bike messengers following those balloons! rookies!

  • search for the video "balloon project nyc race" and you'll see that we've learned a few things :)
