My first animated short (35secs), "Balloon Drop" -- inspired by CG Cookie courses

Hi all, my name is Mike and I have been using Blender for around 2 years. 

I became a CG Cookie citizen about a year ago, and I’m really inspired by your courses. Here is my first animated short (35 secs) called “Balloon Drop”. I completed the project in 2 weeks from idea to publishing.

    What a cool short undiscovered! Love the idea and storyline. It's got a similar vibe to Pixar's "The Blue Umbrella" which is one of my favorites from them. Fantastic work 👏

    Thanks for sharing with us. I'm honored that you learned from me and CGC. Seeing our students create their own unique projects is tremendously rewarding. Keep up the awesome work. Can't wait to see what you do next.

    Happy New Year, Mike!
    Pew Pew Pew! (that is meant to be a cool sound effect)

    I love it when students practice what they have learned.
    Thanks for sharing!
    Keep on pushing your skills in 2021!

    Hey Mike, that was cute! Love it :) It takes quite a lot to make a whole short, so congrats on publishing one and having it look great in addition 👏👏
