It was shot with my Samsung cell phone (hence the poor resolution, low frame rate, crappy sound, and short duration  &#8212;  sigh), but it caught Lucy at a moment when there wasn&#8217;t time to run for the fancy camera. It&#8217;s a 1.1 MB download and runs 0&#8217;14&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Although it may look as if it&#8217;s shot in slow motion, it isn&#8217;t. The pink balloon had lost a lot of helium overnight, and it was very nearly balanced  &#8212;  its weight just barely exceeding its buoyancy. So if Lucy gave it the slightest touch, it would loft lazily up before lazily drifting down again.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"176\" height=\"160\" classid=\"clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B\" codebase=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/qtactivex\/qtplugin.cab\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/sv_a0006.m4v\" \/><param name=\"autoplay\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"controller\" value=\"true\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/boydsnest.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/05\/sv_a0006.m4v\" width=\"176\" height=\"160\" autoplay=\"true\" controller=\"true\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/quicktime\/download\/\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>p{color:gray}.
