Beijing Opening fireworks.

[sublime80220]

Does any one have a web site showing the fireworks? I want to see it so bad I checked you tube for the past 2 days and come up with 30 second clips from avg people. I wasn't sure if there was a like a real video of it that any one knows about.

There wasn't really many fireworks to be honest.

I watched the ceremony just past the fireworks and they only lasted around 10 seconds. It looked really good, but I doubt anyone thought it was substantial enough to post a video.

Really? I thought the fireworks were spectacular throughout the whole show. 29 exploding feet in the sky? Sick.

The foot prints weren't real....

I heard that most of the fireworks weren't real. They also had a "cute" little girl lip sync to an "ugly" little girls singing. How ****ed up is that?

That was great in my opinion...and they used the most of what they have best...people.

The drums part was sick with like thousands of people then it goes glow in the dark when they turn off them lights.

The thing about the China from what I keep reading is that for a lot of their athletes...they're literally produced in a sense. They spend 90% of the year just focusing on diving, gymnastics, etc.

While ze Americans...you know. Not trying to say anything bad about China but...I find it ridiculous that they would send their athletes to focus on one thing...article? It's part of discussions on sports talk shows and other TV ****.

However....that was a pretty badass opening ceremony.

Meh, I caught that on the news, and I think it's much ado about nothing. Producers do that shizzy all the time here in Hollyweird. I don't know why they're making a big deal because it's China. If anything, they have so many people it's the fairest way to get 2 people paid for 1 person's job! I guess ugly kids have to make up in life with pretty voices.

The footprints did actually go off in Beijing. The video they show on TV is part cgi because it's difficult to capture all 29 flawlessly, and I could tell when I was watching it that it was cgi. Still, it looks pretty much the same to what was actually happening.
