The end of industrialization before the drafting projection was cool, the sort of time stop, great effect and lighting.

I love the blue-print/wire frames

 

[dvsDave]

holy cow, the industrial age was mind-blowing!

 

[dvsDave]

BTW, was it just me, or did a couple of the upwards shots of the train make it look like an AT-AT?

 

[wolfman005]

I don't even know what to say anymore.

 

[dvsDave]

love the "grinders"

 

[josh88]

In soviet Russia, only men and women can get married, the babies are delivered by milk men and everybody has twins.

Wish a I would have learnt Russian

 

[dvsDave]

What I want to know is how they are getting the flag above the stage to blow in apparently gale force winds.

 

[wolfman005]

A museum by my house has a wind exhibit where they have a flagpole with air jets built into the flagpole.

 

[josh88]

Also, isn't this stadium enclosed? There's a solid roof on it? Because the fireworks outside aren't doing much but putting on a show for the aerial camera.

Though one of hype announcers did say there was a slight breeze, so maybe it's not enclosed completely. I'm admittedly not as up on these Olympics

I want one of those giant jellyfish glow hat thingies.

 

[dvsDave]

That's a SHITE TON of EL Wire.

 

[HiThere]

is it el wire or black light

 

[josh88]

The jellyfish just went into hyperspace.

[HiThere]

ah...... el wire

 

[wolfman005]

El wire. I don't see how they could have turned them on and off with black light.

 

[wolfman005]

Why do the flag bearers have ear pieces?

 

[josh88]

Given the limp mess of the Olympic flag next to gale force Russia until the air was turned on, air jets seem like a good answer. The close ups also show the holes in the pole.

For those skaters not to fall that floor must be pretty flat. Any ideas of what it's made of?
