Note for techies: He lit a real balloon to match each scene, shot it against a green card, then key-framed all the movement with After Effects - motion blur activated.

take a break from the hot air around you
And watch balloons over Casablanca. Galactica. Oz. Jerry Rees, film animator and balloon fanatic, spent god knows how long digitally inserting a balloon into key scenes of 18 film classics. The least you can do is spend 6 minutes to enjoy. Trust me, it's worth it.

Very cool! Loved watching it. :)
Casablanca was phenomenal. I think my personal favorite is the quick clip of C-3P0 and R2D2 braving the crossfire, balloon in tow. Though the Once Upon A Time In the West scene with Henry Fonda reflected in the balloon was brilliant.
Thanks for sharing.
@ thinking--Glad you enjoyed. Just found out Rees also directed and animated The Brave Little Toaster which my kids and i loved (in a galaxy 17 years away) and so did Sundance--first animation they ever screened.
@chris--C-3P0--THAT's the name I was trying to think of! (Where were you when i needed you yesterday.) Didn't catch the HF reflection, I'll look again, thanks.
Nena would be proud :D
