2008 Olympics!

Omg, that's all I have to say about this year's Olympic Opening Ceremony. The Chinese definitely beat all other opening ceremonies by far. It was just spectacular. Like for each performance or section of it, when you just think it can't get any better, IT DOES!! There were numerous events like this, I'll list them.

Drum Lights-
You see this cool light-show thin from above, and then, when the camera zooms in, you see men controlling the lights by hitting the drums. Then, they "write" a countdown in the lights, Chinese characters on a top section, numbers on the bottom section.

Paint Dancing-
You see a few talented dancers weave their bodies around a blank mat and dance, then when you look closer and the camera looks down on it, you see a painting by the dancers. The dancers paint a picture while dancing.

Block Waves-
Ok, so there's these blocks that move up and down. They start making cool designs by like going up and down, making waves and like waving in and out. So you think it's these cool blocks computerized to move a certain way making those cool patterns.
Wrong. At the end of the performance, you see numerous men peek out of the boxes. The blocks were controlled by people. Amazing.

Tai Chi-
Tai Chi masters perform Tai Chi, all synchronized. Then they do a whole bunch of other cool things, and they make a perfect circle. Also, there aren't any markings, they are formed in a perfect circle by themselves, no markings or anything. Te he.

Well, there was ALOT more stuff that was absolutely amazing, but those were the ones I really remembered and felt like sharing.
