Great craftsmanship!

[@danielmchenry1000]

love tutorials that work fast and don't waste time talking about what they just did. I just saw it. You don't have to tell me. Good stuff B.S.

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks! I try to be efficient.

[@kervyngarcia3264]

Thanks again for changing the Old Balloon World on KZbin!

[@BalloonSage]

Hahahaha - thank you so much for your comment!

[@paulamoors]

Awesome instructions! You've covered visual and written, way to go, not to mention the most awesome seahorse ever.

[@BalloonSage]

Haha - thank you so much, Paula! I experiment with editing techniques and tutorial styles and new designs to try to bring my viewers variety and unexpected ideas. I appreciate the comments and I hope you will like the huge wave of new videos coming this month.

[@DoodleBugLisa]

Well, Mr. Sage, I didn't realize the fiscal difference, but I've learned so much from your banter which always offers a little more than just twisting a balloon, like how to make very round eyes, Intellectual terminology and adjusting the finished product into something truly beautiful ... but mostly I just love you. As far as I'm concerned, you got it all, and I like to see it. I think you're so good in front of the camera that you could be a star!Plus I'm an old hippie that isn't particularly into that kind a techno music ...anyway...please keep in mind what got you famous. And no matter what you do, I'll support you, I'll continue to watch your videos and enjoy them. I'll just miss you a little bit .

[@BalloonSage]

Well, that's very sweet, and your opinion is important to me. I do understand that a lot of the technical aspects become a bit subjective without constant instructional rhetoric, but to be completely transparent I must admit that it takes a lot out of me to do that style of tutorial. However, I have not abandoned my old way of doing things - I just knew that if I changed things to the way they are currently my audience would grow. I'm kind of thinking that elements of music and vocal instruction combined will be my new direction now that I've been able to learn many editing techniques that will make this hybrid style possible. About the music - I am seriously surprised that I don't get a wave of backlash because of it, and completely understand it is not to everyone's taste - although it definitely gives me energy while I'm filming. Regarding terminology, I came up with most of it, but I wasn't sure if it was catching on with twisters or not, as almost nobody ever really mentioned it in the comments. The more subscribers and views I get, the more money I make which all goes to buying more supplies to make more videos. I am working on three vids right now - Lucky Candy Cups, Tuxedo Penguin and 350 Seahorse Centerpiece. There will be monologuing in at least one of those, I promise. Thank you again for being so supportive from very early on.

[@teresaburnette5644]

These are way too adorable!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

[@BalloonSage]

You are very welcome! Thank you for watching.

[@pauladailey4426]

Beautiful! I love balloon twisting as a fun hobby and enjoy practicing with your videos.

[@BalloonSage]

That’s great!

[@askmeforaballoon]

Super adorable design, brilliant!

[@BalloonSage]

thank you so much. I can't stop making ocean-themed designs, lol! I have a centerpiece idea where I put the 350 seahorse on a stack of 2 quads and tie it down at low point of tail. I think it looks so cool, and I hope you will think so too. It has been raining so beach filming has been less than possible lately.

[@askmeforaballoon]

Balloon Sage You are very welcome! The beach scenes are awesome, so rain rain go away :) Looking forward to seeing the 350 version as decor!

[@jacquelynegarcia5320]

Ask Me For A Balloon yy

[@Volunteerballoons]

Love the seahorse - that & the penguin brings the most smiles! Thanks for making this video - I know how much work it is!

[@BalloonSage]

I've got a 350 "Tuxedo Penguin" on the way!

[@Volunteerballoons]

Oooooooo! How exciting! By the way, I love the new format. Some twisting tutorials have too much dialogue.

[@BalloonSage]

Volunteer Balloon Decor yeah - I felt like I was over explaining a lot of the time - and the elimination of the squeaking balloon sounds allows for my content to be much less aurally abrasive. (Although, based on my music choice, that point could be contested, hahaha.)

[@Volunteerballoons]

If you try to please everybody, you will please nobody! And you're never orally abrasive! :-)

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

@@BalloonSage lol

[@joliannaschultz5285]

Sweet editing and balloon design!

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much! The editing is always the most fun part for me.

[@TheBADD2]

I love your work...you really inspire me and have opened up a whole new door for me.. Thank you 4 Sharing Keep Up the Great Work

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much for watching! More on the way.

[@EMMAHYSAE]

Waow, absolutely beautiful !!! I love the way you match colors too :D

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks, Emma!

[@TheJohnStanford]

I liked the design and the music!

[@drogers5511]

I am gonna use this design! Thank you again, Balloon Sage.

[@drogers5511]

Love the ocean themes.

[@BalloonSage]

David Rogers thanks so much, David! I have to laugh as I look back on many of my recent designs - tropical flowers, hula dancers, Seahorses, vibrant octopus... I seem to have a theme going unintentionally. The jumbo Seahorses are up next and I will be really interested to see how people react to scaled up versions of balloon animals.

[@drogers5511]

Balloon Sage - occupational hazard from living near the ocean

[@BalloonSage]

Super nice, thanks for the tutorial!

I'm glad you like it!

Gracias!!

[@gloriaminjarez1200]

I'm in love with the sea horses

[@BalloonSage]

I always wanted to make the perfect seahorse model and I think I finally came as close as I'm going to get. Thanks for your comment!

[@goldbunny1973]

Probably the funkiest presentation Ive seen in a while. I'm thinking either you already do, or you aspire to be a Magician.. Maybe in a Past Life you cut the lady in half, lol! Thanks for sharing this eye-catching universally popular customisable model.

[@gerihing7494]

excellent!!! thanks for sharing

[@BalloonSage]

So welcome!

[@rnugitt]

Hello, was wondering if you can do a Easter bunny with stuffed clear balloon tutorial? Thank you for sharing your work and lots of blessings to you!

[@claudiaangysoto2965]

Hermoso m encanto y lo pondre en practica, Gracias x compartir ese hermoso Hipocampo 😍

[@BalloonSage]

Gracias por ver mi tutorial!

[@callieoops3694]

Very nice. Thanks Sage!

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you callieoops! Suddenly all I feel like doing is coming up with twisting models rather than decorations.

[@ScottKazan]

hey Sage are you a member of balloon twister central on FB? you should be posting your latest designs there. you really have some great designs.

[@MK-hs9pl]

I'm dying over how cute this is!! You have made some really creative and fun pieces on your channel. I love it!!!

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much! There are a lot more cute critters on the way.

[@WifeofaJer]

Balloon Sage Have you worked with the 350? After watching a lot of videos I picked up a bag and I find they break a lot.

[@BalloonSage]

Anna J oh, 350s can be nightmarish - but you can get used to them. I know I had to to get that jumbo seahorse made. In fact, this 350 seahorse will be filmed at the beach as soon as it stops raining out here in California and should be out either Monday or Tuesday. I will likely be doing a series of jumbo balloon animals if this one goes well.

[@WifeofaJer]

Balloon Sage look forward to it.

[@MATQMguitar]

I much prefer the 360B they pop much less frequently.

[@silvaniasilva6520]

Muito show lindo

[@hexyko4850]

Awesome

[@pineappocalyps0]

this video is amazing! awesome work

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you so much! I checked out your covers on your channel and they are really lovely.

[@melissareyes5264]

Beatiful

[@Iys69]

Wow! they ALL look amazing. you have a very creative talent. ;-)

[@BalloonSage]

This video gave me a chance to try out some new beautiful color combinations. I think I will be doing more videos on how to take a standard-sized balloon animal and make it a big beautiful decoration with 350s. My next video will be a much simpler 350 bunny centerpiece, so I hope you'll tell me what you think when it comes out. Thanks again for your comments - it's fun to receive them.

[@Iys69]

Balloon Sage, I will be waiting for it and let you know. I am not only subscribed but also I set up to receive alerts whenever you post something. Have an amazing and creative day!

great video! love it!

[@BalloonSage]

Thanks so much, man! I hope you've been doing great. Seeing this comment, I'm going to assume you might be back doing videos - so I'm going to go check.

[@AmazingBalloonGuy]

Yes Im back! Took a little break but been posting everyday. .That's the plan for now. Yes Ive been good. Looks like like your doing great! Keep it up :)

[@BalloonSage]

AmazingBalloonGuy ugh - wish I could post everyday. I'm still terrible at getting content out quickly.

[@Davethenuttymagician]

Hey sage been awhile since 2 talked

[@BalloonSage]

Hey David! Thanks for checking out this video. Hope all is well! I am on my way to the airport right now to meet a girl I’ve been talking to every day for months. I’ll be taking a plane trip for the first time in 20 years! Wish me luck, haha. I appreciate your comments.

[@zenabalkurdi7290]

hoi echt mooiiii

[@MrBomasBalloons]

Nice!

[@BalloonSage]

Thank you Mr. Boma - your "stamp of approval" is important to me.

[@MrBomasBalloons]

Balloon Sage I like all your stuff. I don't always comment, though. And I was not getting alerts for your videos for awhile. But I finally figured out that I needed to click the bell.

[@BalloonSage]

Mr. Boma's Balloons Yes, this has been a problem for so many youtubers. I need to add a message in my vids reminding viewers to turn their notifications on. Heck, I gotta do that myself for everyone I'm subbed to. I better do it now before I forget. Thanks Mr. Boma!

[@yuguenkloop3844]

queria que vc fisese um vídeo ensinando a fazer esses ai .

[@MATQMguitar]

every time I watch your videos I kick myself in the butt for not ever using those jewel tones.

[@BalloonSage]

I kick myself in the butt every time I use jewel tones for live twisting and they pop every 2 seconds!

[@drogers5511]

To borrow Busters expression - jewel tones suck.. but in fact they blow.

[@BalloonSage]

David Rogers lol

[@callieoops3694]

I am still waiting for the bee! haha!

[@BalloonSage]

I know, I know. I feel bad that I made a promise and haven't come through yet. My heart is in the right place - but these vids always end up taking more time than I expect and I have to weave them into my schedule. I'm on a twisting binge and have giant seahorses, the bee, deluxe penguin, pot of gold bracelet, and more inflated in my balloon studio sitting right in front of me - just a few tweaks and they will all be ready for tutorialization. Thank you for your understanding!

[@callieoops3694]

Balloon Sage Not mad at you! I appreciate BIGLY all that you do. ☺

[@BalloonSage]

callieoops would you mind letting me know if you prefer this style of making videos or my old style better? I'm thinking about doing some vids with verbal instructions again (due to a recent comment) so I would especially like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

[@callieoops3694]

Balloon Sage I never thought about the styles much because I don't have much trouble following you. It helps on this style that you put the descriptions at bottom of screen when you don't speak. The music tends to get loud sometimes but I just turn volume down. I can understand that some find the speed twisting sections difficult but I got used to that with Chitwist, as well as not talking. If I have trouble watching one in this style, I just watch again. I also like when you talk it through. I am just grateful that you share! No complaints here--whatever makes you comfortable! Thanks!

[@BalloonSage]

callieoops I think I might mix things up a bit and see how viewers respond. Thanks for your input.

[@roxannesimard5600]

Want to see his face 🙃

[@DoodleBugLisa]

I'm one of your biggest fans and I love the design....but that music and you not speaking makes it too difficult to follow and your great, creative, fun, personality is missing. Your face, your voice and your great descriptions are the best thing about you...plus it's kind of weird in the beginning. Please could you do this the good old way?Lisa the Balloonista

[@BalloonSage]

Hi Lisa! Yes, recently I have switched to a completely different format that no longer includes vocal instructions. I appreciate that you enjoyed my old content, but ever since I switched to this way of making videos, my views and subscriber count have skyrocketed. I understand how this style will not be to everyone's taste - and even I am surprised that you are only the 2nd person to tell me directly that you don't care for it, but I unfortunately have to go with majority rule in order to gain the largest audience. You are right in one respect - the older vids were much more personal and had more personality, so maybe I can go back to the old style here and there so I can make everyone happy. Thank you for your opinions, I will take them seriously.

[@WifeofaJer]

Balloon Sage I like the video. I finally realized I am not discarding the part for the eyes that's why mine look funky. Though I have to admit I had to rewind the video about 6 or 7 times.

[@WifeofaJer]

Though I prefer rewinding to some of the lengthy DYI videos that talk very sllllooowww. which always make me wonder if they get more because of the length of the video.

[@BalloonSage]

Anna J hi! When I was first learning how to twist by watching KZbin tutorials, I was constantly rewinding videos to make sure I got every part down correctly. These vids are created with that in mind - because if I slow way down the video will be -as you said- long and boring, and then hardly anyone will watch them. I STILL pause and rewind vids if I am learning from someone else. All I know is that once I started heavily editing my videos , I got many more viewers, so I try to keep my tutorials as short as possible while still packing them full of information - whether in the form of visual demonstrations, text instructions or gesticulations. Of course, I am also always hear to answer questions about the video. Thanks so much for your thoughts and I'm glad you like the design.

[@WifeofaJer]

Balloon Sage I have watched videos from some that started talking real slow and stopped watching them. It does take a minute to get used to your new style, but I have to rewind on the long ones too and realize they leave out important detail. keep up the good work. I have been doing balloons since oh heck just realized the length of years. well lets just say since my daughter wanted a clown for her 6th birthday and she is 27 now. I am saying that to say I prefer to watch other peoples videos than to ever do my own.

[@sandrabrooksBrown]

do you have instructions for this

[@iraidaarce1186]

Son bien bonitos pero los montas muy rapido

[@JakiJade]

[@danielhackman2438]

I learned how to make one also from balloonMagic the magazine showed me but it's different than yours I could do with one balloon a 260 what's the show you myself how to do that but it is a qualatex balloon talk to me by what's his name was Blue Magic the magazine anyway I'm trying to think of the guy's name that that that was teaching at the time I learned all my balloons for the longest time from them guys but you guys hiring right up there with them like yours better

[@BalloonSage]

I had always wanted to design a cute and detailed seahorse design so it’s great to see that people like it so much.

[@scruffy74]

Great design. Terrible music. A spoken explanation is more useful.

[@BalloonSage]

Haha, well, I have experimented both with spoken instructions, text instructions, and purely visual. My most watched videos are all music and text with no vocals, but I am very aware that this style is quite annoying to a section of my audience, so, for that, I apologize. Your username and picture make me want to go watch Futurama now. I really do appreciate honest criticism, so thank you.

[@scruffy74]

Sorry man I didn't mean to sound so rude. It is a great design and I have tried it out myself. I am a big fan of your work. I just feel i learn more listening to your spoken instructions with little helpful tips. However, as you say; other comments here definitely support your observation on the popularity of this video format lol

[@TheDracoChick]

This music is WAY TOO LOUD and obnoxious. Don't mind having music in a video in general, but this music made me mute the whole thing and play music from my spotify instead.

[@BalloonSage]

Hi! Well, it sounds like you found the perfect solution. I hope you liked the design, I appreciate the honest feedback and thank you for watching.

[@TheDracoChick]

It's just a little criticism. It's just a shame, because I like listening to nice music or a comforting voice while I watch an instruction video. And yes, I did like the design very much and you have some of my favorite designs, which is why I cared enough to mention it.
