TIMES SQUARE on NEW YEARS EVE (Balloon Project NYC)

On New Years Eve 2007/08 The Balloon Project Team attempted the impossible. Not only were we to try and pull off a BP in the hardest city, New York, but we were going to do it on New Year's Eve, at the stroke of midnight, in Times Square. This is a chronicle of our story.

Thanks to ELO for the music and to Sam, Anthony, Christopher, Kierie and Nate for their help.

Hi there, I really liked this video and the idea that's behind, it makes me wanna try something like that in Brussels (I live there).

Maybe you've already thought about it after loosing loads of data because of water but... why not trying to put the camera in one of these boxes there use for diving?

Just keep on doing it, it's really nice ;-)
