For all the buzz CGI imagery gets, the one thing few people ever mention is you can totally tell when some object or person has been added in post. Something about the stiff predictability of the movements, or the too smooth surfaces. So, a balloon flitting about the various unseen and unpredictable air currents should be just about impossible.
I don't know how Jerry Rees did it, but this video makes these balloon inserted into various famous movie clips seem real. My favorite is near the end, when a Nicholas brothers routine now looks even more gravity-defying.

To make up for our intermittent blogging, there's also videos and links to stuff we like. That way, someone else is doing the work, because work is hard.
