there was bond, yes, james bond (daniel craig), a beatle (paul mcartney), and beckham (the original metrosexual).  how very b (british).  even the great director of the opening ceremonies spectacle is a b (danny boyle of "slumdog millionaire" fame).  so is mr bean. 

among many actors who participated in the opening performances, there were special guest appearances by many important brits. the inventor of the world wide web was there--- sir tim berners-lee.  and of course, the queen.

the great britannia showed its exports to the world in that spectacular olympics opening ceremony.

was the london olympics opening ceremony better than beijing's?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18

some articles say that although it didn't try to match beijing's spectacle (2,008 drummers, for instance), london's made beijing's opening ceremonies irrelevant.  i have of course other reasons for swallowing this hook, line and sinker. :)

diha may nigawas nga issue nga ang actual ug what is shown sa tv lahi kay kuno ang ubang fireworks sa tv computer-generated na para nindot tan-awon sa viewers

so far, everything i've read about this (computer-generated fireworks for tv viewers) is all about beijing olympics 2008 and not london 2012.  but here's a great piece about beijing's:


Beijing 2008

According to Beijing Times, all fireworks were authentic. Just to clear things up, the "only" Computer Generated (CG) shot was the 29 footprints toward the stadium. 28 of them, to be precise, were computer generated. The last one shown inside of the stadium was a real shot.

That being said, 28 footprints outside of the stadium were actually lit and real - only the "shot shown on TV" was fake. We weren't shown the real actual shot, but instead the CG one, because:

1) It's almost impossible for helicopter to catch up with the fireworks
2) It'd be very dangerous for the helicopter to be there in the first place

So in short, all fireworks we saw on TV were real except for the 1st-28th footprints shot - they were there but it had to be shown using CG due to technicality issue. There weren't "fake" fireworks. Only "fake" shot. - BeeR_Koo..., 4 years ago, http://answers.yahoo.com/
