I'm just trying to figure out what the huge scroll in the Beijing Opening Ceremony was made of. My friend told me it was a projection. I think it's an LCD screen that can fold...

Suggestions?

They all say that it's an LED screen and two barrels at each end with a projector projecting on them. Very interesting IMO.

AWWW I missed the ceremony!

I forgot it was on! Oh well, was it cool?!

GO GERMANY AND UNITED STATES!!!!

I liked the US outfits from Ralph Lauren. Classy

I just loved how everyone clapped for Iraq, and then boo'd Iran.

Yeah... LOL

But I betcha China rigged the olympics.

You can watch some of it here

It was a big LCD screen (said by announcers) and did anyone notice how scripted/censored the announcing sounded... twas odd. The ceremony was really cool though.... shows what you can do when you take a couple thousand people and force them to learn something precisely.... jk.

ooo i like watching the hot gymnasts. my favorite part

Beijing Olympics opening ceremony also include computer graphics technology, a damn good one for that matter. I almost believed it.

It is not as bad as it sounds though.

Yeah they actually announced it during the Ceremony on NBC. Looked very realistic though.
