Read it all, but paragraph 13 is the spot - this is a mention of the quiet achievers from Project Horus littering the landscape with balloons, correct?
If so, bravo!

Re: Nice publicity, in the fine print. Project Horus News
Barry,
Yes it was us. Here is a cross post of an item I released to Facebook a couple of days ago explaining things:
Hi everyone. If you have ever followed any of the activities of Project Horus, the high altitude balloon project based in SA, you may remember the dual launch the group conducted back in May 2012 at the WIA Convention in Mildura (Horus 26 & 27).
What we couldn't tell you at the time is who the pictures were for that were filmed on the Horus 27 camera flight. We can now reveal that it was for Rising Sun Pictures, an internationally acclaimed Adelaide film special effects studio which has worked on many Hollywood blockbuster films. In this particular case, it was for the film "Gravity" which is nominated for 10 academy awards this year.
A small snippet about Project Horus including a couple of clips from the launch ground crew videos and how Rising Sun used the imagery can be seen in the BluRay Disc special features in the Splashdown section, including comments from Alfonso Cuarón, the director of the movie and the team from Rising Sun Pictures.
Finally, if you have been wondering what ever happened to Project Horus, yes the group has been rather quiet for about 12 months now, but stay tuned, more flights are planned hopefully in the near future!
There are further things in the works with RSP as well. More when they materialize.
