It looks definitely different from the one we have all seen in movies-the single hot air balloon where a small enclosure is attached in which the pilot can stand.
This is called cluster balloon flying that involves quite a bit of work. A team of 15 people are required to inflate about 20 balloons of different sizes and assemble the cluster, harness all the strings to the pilot etc.
I read a lengthy article on cluster balloon flying that explained step-by-step all the stages of cluster balloon flying from inflating the balloons till the landing of the pilot after enjoying a solo flight in the wilderness of the sky.
