Some of it was actually CGI.The fakery was unearthed by a local Chinese newspaper, The Beijing Times, which revealed that a 55-second sequence was created by a visual effects team, which included a series of giant footsteps made by fireworks.Confusingly, this actually took place in the real ceremony, but the organisers felt that the sequence of 28 footprints would not be accurately captured live, so they faked it.Risk assessmentSpeaking to The Beijing Times, an advisor to the Beijing Olympic Committee (BOCOG) defended the decision: "It would have been prohibitive to have tried to film it live," he said."We could not put the helicopter pilot at risk by making him try to follow the firework route."To emulate the shot, the visual effects team actually put a slight camera shake on to the image, and even spoke to the Beijing meteorological office to ask them how to recreate the Beijing smog.-techradar.comdamn it man. wen i was watching it after dwnloading i acutally thought it was real. they had made it so realistic. after all da damn opening ceremony was only organized in 6 months and being so perfect is damn shit. but da thing is they have faked it for a good cause. dat is t save a few lives which wud actually go on da helicoptor to film it live. even if one firework spark had gone ut of range then da whole helicoptor along with da crew and da ppl below da place it falls are all in danger which wud mean around 20-30 lives lost. n e way wat r ur views abt this??</blockquote>
