i just saw this article this morning about some of the opening ceremony fireworks being computer graphics. when those footprint ones were going off in the telecast i thought to myself they didn't look very real and wondered if they were visual effects. seems they were.
although i don't really think it matters - no need for people to get uppity about it being 'fake'. still looked good. once i figured out they were actually footprints and not just fireworks.
Category: WhatevernessGlad to know it wasn't just me wondering about the footprint fireworks - I wasn't convinced that they would be allowed to set them off from some of the buildings, or that the helicopter could fly that route safely, not to mention the sudden clearing of Beijing's smog ...
