Opening Ceremonies Brain Dump
John Anderson | August 8, 2008In the spirit of my good friend Tony’s weekly braindump posts, here is my braindump thus far into the opening ceremonies. More to come after the break.
- $300 million, and it shows. This is crazy over-the-top.
- How precise was the color guard in the flag ceremony?
- Watching this in 1080i is definitely worth it. I need to get my ATSC tuner working ASAP.
- How much money did that unrolling scroll prop cost?
- A 230′ x 70′ LED display? That is nuts. The shot from the blimp shows that it really is LED technology.
- This really is the best High-Def presentation I have seen since Planet Earth on Blu-Ray, and this gives that a run for the money.
- I could have sworn the chinese printing block presentation was done with mechanics. Wow.
- NBC should have made better use of the Dolby Digital 5.1 provided by High-Def.
- Only China could have ever spent this much money on such an elaborate production.
Stay tuned…
