I am thankful for the amazing DPL team 'X-factor' to help me put my vision in place with this entry and helping me refine the entry beyond my potential!
Camera low on ground, set on remote shutter with 5 second timer. Holding remote with briefcase, triggering and than timing the jump - as simple as that was the idea in head.
Now came the problem with wind, and balloons don't usually want to fly at the same speed as you jump so the strings start sagging - which kills the illusion of flying. So came the idea of having the balloon tied to ground with weight and sliding the hand on the strings without impacting the balloons individual balloon strings.
Took me several tries, 2 days of going back on location and some (a lot of) stares
It turned out to be more difficult than I imagined. Especially when you are doing all by yourself without any help! But happy with the results and score :)
