WHERE WERE YOU? This was on the hill behind Janss Marketplace and The Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, Calfiornia. WHO WAS ON THE PHONE? I was on the phone with Stephanie while I was attempting to catch the balloon because she was the one at the top of the hill holding it for me. I told her when to reel it in and when to give it slack. When she pulled it in, it would go lower. Giving it slack would make it go higher. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO REEL THE LINE? We got it reeled up in about 10 minutes. We used the wind to make sure nothing would get tangled in it. WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE BALLOONS? I gave them to some kids who were watching me do this from the water fountain at Janss Marketplace. They were stoked! It made me happy : ) WILL YOU DO THIS AGAIN? If this video gets a lot of response then yes. I'll use A LOT more balloons with a better camera in a more remote location. WHAT WAS THE MUSIC YOU USED? That was a song I wrote called "There and Back". It's one of my favorite instrumentals and thought it would go perfect for this. WHAT WAS THE OTHER CAMERA YOU USED? That was my Canon EOS 5D Mark II. However, I didn't really get a chance to set it up correctly (since I was so focused on the experiment) but I think it turned out alright.
