Has this actually been broadcast yet? I've never seen it before, but I don't really watch Saturday night TV.

That just seems to use bits of the stings...

Nice one Martin.

Where did the background image originate from?

Methinks I've found a new desktop wallpaper...

The scene is just some Aerial photography I found online, the balloon is my work...

No basket or metal frame done at the moment...

I wouldn't have guessed it was a mock

It would look really, really good as a widescreen wallpaper, you know..

Hey! Not half bad for a CG balloon starter; I'm sure it's possible to achieve something with more realism yet; some software these days can produce brilliant renders, just at the expense of more processing time.

If you can find hi-res photos that exactly match the locales and perspectives of past idents or stings, there's scope for recreations in HD...

I was also thinking of doing a new baloon revival, with the same trailer end style as before, but the lighter shades of red becoming orange.

Awsome mock MDTA.

Can't wait to see a video of it.

Yep I've made it my wallpaper and it looks lovely on a widescreen monitor.

It's brilliant, well done!
