huaiwei Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Ok this is getting better now And i gotta say this is a very old school ceremony, giving more focus on the performers rather than the objects and effects. With such a diverse and rich culture, they can easily do that. There is so much to showcase without the use of pyrotechnics and technical wizardry!

Rob2012 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The performers look like there having a lot of fun. Indeed, I thought that with the drummers as well; it struck me straight away as a contrast to Beijing's drummers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cormiermax Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 The Beijing drummers were actually asked to smile to look less intimidating to the international audience, what a contrast to Delhi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cormiermax Posted October 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Id say it feels closer to an Olympic Closing Ceremony to an opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOC Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Currently watching on Indian TV as I could not make it to the stadium 30 advertisements in the add breaks here and its not even LIVE anymore, just had the flag go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brekkie Boy Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 In someways better to delay coverage with each break rather than cut chunks out. You'd think though ceremony organisers would do something similar to Eurovision and plan filler segments (like the India promo we saw) where ads can be put in without missing anything crucial. And you just knew they couldn't get to the end without Jai Ho. BBC bored now though and decided to talk over it so they can rush to a conclusion.

huaiwei Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 And so it is over. I felt India passed the first major test. And thank God they stuck to largely cultural dances and song, since this is something most of the performers can do without requiring countless rehearsals. And the spontaneity showed through very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Like i said before, this was a kind of old-school ceremony, with more focus on the performers rather on the objects or special effects. My favorite segments so far were Yoga and the Great Indian Journey. I liked the joy and spontaneousty of the performers, which was a huge contrast to Beijing ones.
