Gnome’s Place

**edit : The fireworks DID go off. But, the tv version of the fireworks are ‘enhanced’ with the graphics they made…sorry for the mistake**

Yeap. It was faked. Over 3 billion people are lied to that night. Don’t know which firework i’m talking about?? Here’s a pic.

This is the ‘fake’ firework being ‘blown’ up into the Beijing sky.

Despite being duped,and lied to, i think that the animation shown on air that night, it’s really fascinating. How could technology trick so much people into believing it’s real? The animation crew must’ve worked hard on this project ,which they took one year to complete! Stunning visual effects weh!

To add more real life ‘things’ to the lies, they even put haze in the skies to mimic the after effect of a firework show. They even added the ‘camera shaking’ for the shots that was taken from the helicopter. Damn detailed.

Eventhought i’m at awe with the effects, there are still people that are mad because they were cheated to believe that the fireworks were real. But, who cares!

Let’s see what more will Beijing Olympics bring us!
