Kevy- I do agree that the performances were amazing. The fact that I saw the earpiece did not ruin it for me; on the contrary, I like to know how they do things.
The type boxes would have to have some kind of simple code for each set of moves. Not sure how they would do it blind, though, since a lot of the wave things require precision of height that would be difficult to gauge blind. Some of it is regularity of speed; if you know 16 counts in to be at a particular height it can work. It's tricky, but the execution of it was perfect, as far as I could tell. All pieces rising and falling with perfect even rhythm. Even with electronic coding, click tracks, or whatever, it's still pretty impressive. |
Two news stories on the Opening Ceremonies:
Fake feet trip up Olympic opening coverage The Whole Story Olympic Opening Mastermind Regrets Injuries One Story with minimal details I am curious what the injuries were |
NBC made it abundantly clear during the broadcast that the Footsteps portion of the fireworks was a CGI re-creation.

Um, they said it three or four times WHILE the improbably photographed shot was going on. This is Fake, This is Fake, This is Fake.

The funny part is that I don't specifically remember the footsteps. But I have never been a fan of fireworks on TV anyways, so I may have mentally tuned out during that segment.
|
Sheesh, even I heard them say it was fake and at that moment in time I was across the street in a movie theater watching Pineapple Express.
(Not really.) (The hearing part, I really was watching Pineapple Express.) |
I don't remember them saying it either.
|
Silly people. The entire Olympics are GCI.
