2008 Dancers on 8-08 -- Green special effects

How very Green and heroic of China to use so much human power during its opening ceremonies!
Amazing coordination and dedicated service to the greater goal of historic special effects. Hundreds of wave variations in color, height and tempo in stage after stage at the opening of these 2008 Summer Olympics.

This is going to be some great film. I'll want to see the full angles again. Even check out other countries' film of those ceremonies.

Kites, and lights and shadows and drums and wave dances, all gorgeously synchronized effects, including some fireworks released outside the dome, and references in the dance to the "birds' nest" stadium, as it has come to be called. And they lit up the formation in fanciful colors, highlighting the nestish elements, criss crossing beams.

And there's more and more.
Stunning theater !
