Blog Event of the Month: Beijing Olympics

i have the fever. but i have a different approach to the Beijing Olympics. i love the event and the mascots too. but since i cannot go to Beijing to take some pictures myself, i kept myself busy looking for good images and save them to my computer. while others are counting the medals, i sit in front of my PC and do what i love, photoshop. at least i have enhanced the wallpapers available on the internet. but somehow i still want to add more effects and those native accents from the available wallpapers in the internet. i just want to share what i've done.

We've been faked (daw)

If you watched the Opening Ceremony on Friday night, chances are you said something like, "no way that's possible" at least once. It turns out you were right.

London's Telegraph newspaper reports that some of the fireworks which appeared over Beijing during the television broadcast of the Olympic Opening Ceremony were actually computer generated. But -- hold on -- it's not necessarily as bad as you think.

The faked fireworks were actually set-off at the stadium, but because of potential dangers in filming the display live from a helicopter, viewers at home were shown a pre-recorded, computer-generated shot. It sounds dishonest, but I'm not sure it's such a terrible thing.

The Opening Ceremony is, at its core, just one big performance. And isn't it accepted that some things might not be legit at a performance? The final torch bearer wasn't actually running around the top of the stadium, does the fact that everyone could figure that out make it any less impressive? It might have been unnecessarily deceptive, but the firework-faking isn't really that big of a deal. But, if I found out that the lighted-drum thing wasn't on the up and up, then we'll have problems, China.

* kelangan bang BIG DEAL ito? e ano ngayon kung fake? tapos na, nagawa na. marami din ang namangha. 'tong mga writer na 'to kala mo kung sinong mang-okray. ni hindi naman nila naisip ang ganyang presentation. dahil ba galing din sila sa mayamang bansa e ganun na lang nila maliitin ang ginawa ng China? the country has done it's best to give them a wonderful show and yet there's still these people who give us positive energy! heck! burn them with your fireworks, China!
