Berlin by Red Balloons
The Balloon Project's Luca and Ira send a video camera up into the sky hanging from helium balloons in a rain storm as we chase it from below on bikes and into history. The Story: It was a rainy afternoon in Berlin and our last chance to do The Berlin Balloon Project since Luca (one of the co-founders of The Balloon Project) was leaving the next day. We strapped more than 30 helium balloons to a video camera and sent it up all by itself over the city some few hundred meters. We then proceeded to chase it down with bikes as the rain slowly brought it back to earth. Watch "The Chase" to see how it looked from the ground. http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=... or see how we got the camera back: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=... *If you look carefully you can see that our "Message in a Balloon" traveled from East Berlin, over the historic Berlin Wall (at 4:00 minutes (bernauer str), and into freedom in West Berlin. *Shortly after at 6:50 the camera flies over the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart.
