Beijing closing ceremony...fireworks?

Question

so i was watching the closing ceremony (australian channel 7 broadcast) and the countdown from 9-0 was in fireworks...

i never knew that was possible :S

it wasnt faked like in the opening was it ?

Answer 1

They're not fake including the ones in opening.Most of the fireworks come from Hunan Province in china,the brand is called panda.

Answer 2

of course it is possible... i have seen fireworks like "smiley" "olympic rings" "2008" etc, so of course it is possible to have numbers too!

Answer 3

These guys invented fireworks.  

The opening ceremony was not fake either.  They filmed that earlier because it was impossible for the cameras to follow it live via helicopter due to safety reasons.  

Answer 4

Why would they fake it? They can make the Olympic rings in fireworks, how much more the numbers?

That wasn't FAKE.

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

The Chinese are the world leaders when it comes to pyrotechnics. They are always coming up with bigger and better fireworks. These were definitely not fake.

The ones at the opening ceremony were not fake either, they were  filmed about a month before the games and put on TV to make it seem like it was live.

Answer 7

u never know what they make these days but i dnt thnk they would fake it again it will ruin there economy

Answer 8

dude opening ceremony wasn't faked. i mean chinese fireworks are pretty sick. they can probably do it better without faking it anyways.

Answer 9

The Chinese are Masters of pyrotechnics (fireworks) for some 800 hundred years. What else would you expect?

Remember the dragon on sky in the Lord of the Ring movie? Well, that was a movie magic. Nonetheless, the Masters in China can do things which are very similar to it.

Answer 10

No. Because it was filmed from a camera inside the Bird's Nest.
