GIANT 2 dimensional Hot air Balloon, Vs Model Balloons

Rolling out a brand new project a Giant 2 dimensional hot air balloon artwork - so why not bring out some model balloons and show the two projects together.

I've spent much of my summer constructing this huge 2 D balloon, adding details such as my channel name, and the play button, as well as a realistic burner flame and basket. So I couldn't wait to see the results, and with a little help form a drone, get to see what the 2 dimensional balloon will look like when I fly over it in the future.

I've had this project in my mind for a number of years, using silver fabric helps to reflect the early morning light - in the way a photographer illuminates a model in a work shop, as well as crating an advertising canvas on which to broadcast messages up to people in the balloon ! I can't wait to create a marriage proposal version for example - or one for a product

Of course I love building my model balloons too, so why not celebrate the unveiling of the 2D balloon with a little hop of the model balloons.

In the future I hope to display the balloon as a target for pilots to fly over in competition, use it at the Llangollen model balloon festival for some challenges we hold there, and as an advertising medium at balloon festivals I attend.
There is a 3 part mini series on how I constructed this project in my own home - if you would like to know more we have created a playlist - which will grow as the 2D balloon features in our flying videos over coming seasons
