NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Those square-ish things look like Mahjong tiles, a chinese way of gambling !
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 aparently there are people under those blocks - well the bbc says so
code1390 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I hope this is computerised some how and they don;t have people under the boxes.... Not. Theres people there.
Faster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I hope this is computerised some how and they don;t have people under the boxes.... People are underneath.
Stu Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 It's the first ever type writer from the 10th century - invented by the Chinese four hundred years before the European version - it was made of terracotta. They're spelling harmony.
Sir Rols Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I'm imressed _ I thpught the "type" was computer controlled!
Faster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I like how the performers are so happy and enthusiastic and enjoying themselves. Its nice to see compared to the robotic nature of Chinese athletes in previous games.
ard72 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Highlight here in Oz so far is that Channel 7 (who suck by the way) lost their commentary and went dead for about 5 minutes until a technician could be heard in the background "is this box working? blah blah blah" In fact the coverage was better with no commentary Coverage being buterched by commercial breaks too God Seven **** me
Kenadian Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Must say, pretty cool so far! VANOC, pay attention!
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 I hope this is computerised some how and they don;t have people under the boxes.... I loved that it was shown how it was done - (it was so unstudied how they waved into the crowd)
mpkwokgsb Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 i bet that painting would be eventually transformed to that big scroll-like torch

Stu Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 VANOC, pay attention! My thought exactly (for LOCOG)
NYCD 2012 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 They look like giant chopsticks or paddles.
Citius Altius Fortius Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 wow - the colous are so great - and these effects which are produced by simple ideas with the paddles...
Rich Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Ha ha - BBC has no commercial breaks - Oooooh you're missing all the best bits Yeeeah for the BBC!! its gonna be interesting to see how London can top / beat this on a smaller budget
code1390 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Vancouver and London have a lot of work to do to top this so far.
mpkwokgsb Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 i am quite sure now.. al the segments center aroudn this scroll.... it will become the torch...
dave199 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Vancouver and London have a lot of work to do to top this so far. I doubt Vancouver can after that horrendous Closing Ceremony display in Torino.
