Amazing that there were was a bagpipe band up so early in the morning as well.

Congratulations on your new baby ;-) I always wanted to do this (the ballooning) the shots had really nice framing.

they become like characters the flames.
I've seen this balloon sequence done a million times, but it is so nice to see YOU do it. I has your Style. And I love your style.

congrats on the new cam! love this clip remyyy!

This is so great, Remyyy. I feel like I am there. I've yet to be around a mass balloon launching like this, but believe that it must be amazing to watch them fill with air and lift into the sky. Wonderful last shots with the balloons fading into the distance.

I have been waiting for a new video by you and this was worth the wait! Wonderful! Thank you.

I loved every second of this.

The part with the reflection at the water's edge was so unique and perfect. That is just one of many great moments you captured here.

I've seen many films on balooning, but your shooting composition and edit is one of the best.
Where did you shoot this Remy? Near Wimereux?
Your new baby is a goodie!

Et toi pas décolle ??? trop dommage...
Mais j'aime bien quand ça fait Pshhiit

nice remy. love the music.

simply beautifull

I really like that final "eclipse" reflecting on the water, as well. Excellent use of this song... all the ambient sounds make the audio really amazing. And the timing on the flames/beat at the beginning I had to watch a few times to believe it :)

Agree with Pierre on your composition. My favorite are the tight shots of the fabric as the envelopes are filling. I wouldn't mind seeing some of those as longer segments, but that's just me. Nice piece.

oh my god. you and an HD camera are a dangerous mix. :-)

Great song! Great vid! As always...

Heyyy Remyyy! Ca y est tu t'es mis à la HD? Superbe nouvelle pour nos mirettes ça!! Franchement, comme d'hab' c'est bien en rythme avec la musique, qui est elle aussi très bien choisie... Vraiment bien, depuis le temps qu'on attendait une nouvelle video. En plus avec mon ancienne camera, que j'ai dû vendre à regret...
Tu verras tu sauras l'apprecier à sa juste valeur, c'est un petit bijou!

Ciao mister le Picard!!!

J'ai regardé tes premières et dernières vidéo, je vais vite combler ce vide... que de choses magnifiques

These types of 'events' are difficult to shoot because no one is standing around saying, "Camera guy, are you ready? Do you have all your settings where you'd like them to be? Do you have your focus stick?"
Yet, you seemed to be in all the right places at the right times and caught wonderful shots. Very difficult to do when you the camera man is not controlling the subjects in the shot.
Well done and welcome to HD.

totally digging it. nice work. i still my dvx100 but this sure is tempting me to make the HD leap!

lovely time of the day and great subject matter

hihi c'est marrant je filmais à Amiens samedi matin egalement (enfin pas aussi tôt que toi) mais la matinée était bien belle, dommage que tu n'ais pas pu embarqué!
Magnifiques prises de vue et félicitations pour l'investissement :)

for graduation my mom got me a hot air balloon ride, but I never got to use it!

Wow, that is magical. Really interesting filmmaking. I cant wait to see more

Bon²³ ;)

I really like the how you speed up the video in little jolts.

although I don't 'do' mornings, i do so like being someplace and waking up with the start of a brand new day, thank you.

Beautiful music. I also love air-ballons and, indeed, XH A1.

Salut Rémi, trés belles images en effet ! vivement que je passe a la HD également ça donne envie, je suis originaire d'Amiens et je vis depuis 12 ans en haute savoie, si tu veux regarder mes vidéos "et sans prétention d'une qualité quasi pro" je te conseille d'aller sur mon site "videos-parapente.com/"
Mon site ne paye pas de mine mais le contenu va certainement te plaire ... @ bientôt

wow the flame and smoke in the beginning synch so well!

Nice work. Love that you used Album Leaf, I just used them in a video that I completed last night!

What I like most is how you mixed the field audio in...really brings a great sense of "being there".

super moment passé a regarder merci

great choice of song for this...actually gave me goosebumps!

You found some nice shots and I notice that you, the Nordistes have different balloons from us the Sudistes!

This is some random stuff I took at the Coupe Icare near Grenoble on Sunday.

WOW, so beautiful, as usual! I couldn't have resist jumping in one of them....

ahh ça me fait plaisir! j'aime les 'hot air balloons'! (j'sais pas ce mot)

mon frère et moi, nous avons la XH-A1 aussi, mais j'ai pas vraiment encore tourné des vidéos avec elle...

je devrais commencer de l'utiliser plus souvent!

I miss watching your videos. I need to make another one soon. Great job man. Keep it up.

I like the flame scene ;-)
Great Work

Nice mix - Music and video fits... ;-)
