It’s funny, but one balloon was simply an object wobbling as it bounced. But as soon as there were two, my mind started to anthropomorphize them, and I imagined they were dancing together.

Two things….I bet this is VERY popular in certain parts of Japan, and it also looked like they were floating in Zero-G.

Would someone actually re-cut this with the song “Free Falling” (Tom Petty)? That’s what I expected from the video title.

I love high speed camera shots. Microscopes show us the micro, telescopes large matter, and high speed camera technology allow us to manipulate time. Check out this youtube channel dedicated to high speed camera vids. http://www.youtube.com/user/theslowmoguys

I was really getting some anthropomorphism when there were three of them.
“One side, knucklehead!”
“Hey, watch it!”
“Why, I oughtta…”
