Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta 2013 (HD) - Balloon Inflation and Launch

The video follows a up-close view of a single balloon, ground to lift-off, and gives the viewer the experience of being on-the-ground during the mass ascension at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. This was the first morning of the ABQ Balloon Fiesta, October 5th, 2013, and we got an up-close shot of process of the inflation of the frog prince balloon. The balloon is the Hopper T. Frog Hot Air Balloon, "Time's fun when you're having flies." NOTE: The fans are going to be a loud. Enjoy!
The news of this day was "on Saturday, the opening day of the nine-day festival of more than 600 balloons, a 61-one-year-old woman broke her leg during a hard landing" (Associated Press 9th October 2013.)

Great video dude, nice work! I was at the Fiesta too; I got a series of videos of the Angry Birds balloon crew inflating it on my channel.
