Well maybe not quite 99 and they're not always red but a few balloons are all Luca Nino Antonucci and Ira Mowen need to shoot their films. They attach them to a camera, let go and try to follow the balloons wherever they go. The camera shoots the whole time and the two post the footage on their website -- that is if they get it back. They took us on one of their wild balloon hunts through Berlin.

For the past year the two balloon project creators from America have travelled to cities like New York, San Fransico and Paris bringing an unusual bird's eye view of the cities to youtubers worldwide. 
Their equipment is pretty basic because there's no guarantee they'll get it back: It's just 40 helium balloons and a camera costing around 50 euros. In fact their latest mission in Prague was thwarted by a tree! 
Each flight is a new adventure and a unique piece of street theater into the bargain.
