Review of Glen LaValley aka Glen the Balloon Guy's DVD "Amazing Wearables Volume 1 Ogre Edition"
Glen LaValley is to me the King of Balloon Costumes. I truly respect and enjoy his work as a balloon artist and I am pleased to say he is an excellent teacher as well.
I got this DVD because I have never made a balloon costume and wanted to learn more about it and I also wanted to also learn a new weave.
This DVD exceeded my expectations in every way. The audio was clear and easy to hear and the video was shot with contrasting solid colored backgrounds (as well as the shirts he wore) so that the balloons stood out clearly.
The camera was stable and there were close up shots when needed so I could always see what was going on. I have seen other balloon videos before where this was not the case and it truly makes a difference.
Glen himself taught at a very easy to follow pace and gave countless helpful tips, tricks, and suggested variations throughout the video. He also didn't edit out when things popped or came untwisted, which as we all know just happens sometimes with balloons, he just showed how to fix it instead.
I also loved the humor snuck throughout such as the angry villagers silhouetted as the background for the home screen of the DVD and Glens Rocky impersonation.
If you are interested in making a balloon costume, learning a new weave, love ogres and/or sheep, or just want to watch Glen make something awesome I highly recommend getting this DVD. If you are interested FaceBook message Glen LaValley and he can arrange to mail the DVD directly to you, $35 USD plus shipping (shipped from Canada) which I truly feel is an amazing value for the content.
