dorkbydesign. Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 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?

(MoC) Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 They all say that it's an LED screen and two barrels at each end with a projector projecting on them. Very interesting IMO.

djet Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 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.

Stravaganza Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Beijing Olympics opening ceremony also include computer graphics technology, a damn good one for that matter. I almost believed it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/otherspor...ints-faked.html It is not as bad as it sounds though.

djet Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah they actually announced it during the Ceremony on NBC. Looked very realistic though.
