Re: CrystalCG Enhanced Olympics with Fake Fireworks
Have they posted their portfolio here?
Just wondering...  I saw that on www.ninemsn.com.au and was really annoyed. The network is defending itself by saying "the announcers told the viewers that there was CGI". BUT - the announcers said, "this is truly a cinematic experience that you are watching right now..." What hogwash! Using euphemisms that can be EASILY confused for adjectives or metaphors is just plain lying in my book. |

Re: CrystalCG Enhanced Olympics with Fake Fireworks
See I heard them say it was an animation and I could tell the footprints were fake. I thought it was clear but no one else I have talked with got that.

Re: CrystalCG Enhanced Olympics with Fake Fireworks
What do you expect from one of the most controlling communist governments in the world..?
They will report what they want, when they want too... Its been like it for years and isnt going to change for the sake of the Olympics.. if anything, it would get worse. Do they really want the whole world to see how things really are in their country..?

Re: CrystalCG Enhanced Olympics with Fake Fireworks
The most ridiculous thing to me is the news of the two elderly women who were sentenced to 2 years of "re-education through labor" for attempting to obtain a permit to legally protest in an "official Olympic protest area" that the Chinese government set up for that supposed very purpose. Curiously enough, no permits were actually issued to protest.
