This really wouldn’t work on a 2hrs broadcast, but I seriously think that CCTV should buy this for broadcast of this year’s highlights. It’d be awesome to see this on the TV. xD Like Officially, you know?
And some shots look like miniature models, right? xD
Overall, the marketing campaigns for everything that had to do with the Olympics was pretty awesome. China outdid itself with everything from architecture, urban design, print campaigns, tv campaigns, etc.
This particular commercial (the series of commercials, and print ads) was very moving to me. I remember the first time I saw it, it kinda made me all fuzzy inside especially when we reach the volleyball sequence, with the music and the people behind them. Very emotional.
commercial series + making of + print ads after the break~
It was almost like the Olympics… only with tanks and soldiers xD
well, there were also many performers.
I also took my Granpa’s photograph, and put it in front of the TV.
I haven’t been able to watch the Gala yet, because well… Timezones~
Soldiers were scary… xD powerful, resounding with my surround system LOL
Sorry I didn’t Live blog the Emmys, but come on. It wasn’t that interesting, was it? Coolest moment? xD Dr. Horrible taking over the broadcast – hint, irony? – Whatever you say about streaming, still… downloading episodes/on demand beats watching things on tv. And as for resolution? There are big enough files that you can watch. Great HD quality. xD
As for winners?
I haven’t been able to read about all the winners, but some highlights!
Toni Collette FTW!!!! United States of Tara also won Best Main Title! Who else won?!? Kristin Chenoweth for Pushing Daisies!!! FTW II!!!! xD
The Beijing Olympics Opening also won (though I dunno if it won more than one) But it did win for Director for Variety, Music or Comedy Special – BUT! WTF!! Award given to Bucky Gunts? I think not. If the award should be given to someone it should be Zhang Yimou (or the Republic of China) because from what I’ve heard about the NBC Olympic Broadcast… it was… NOT pretty.
Grey Gardens also won Best Actress (Jessica Lange) in a Made-for-TV-Movie (and Best Supporting Actor), and Best Made-for-TV-Movie. Mad Men won Best Drama (again), 30 Rock won a bunch of awards – HBO won a bunch too. You can read all about… I mean, those “main” categories here and here.
I went to the event celebrating the 25 years of relations between Lima and Beijing (you can see some photos here) – and by the end of the show, I thought I lost my lens cap, but it was deep in my camera bag. I grabbed it and PUT THE CAP ON. Next thing I know, I was at home… about to upload my photos, when SURPRISE! My camera had no lens cap!
I thought maybe it fell inside the camera bag like before, but no luck~ I also checked my pockets, but nothing… T-T oh, the sadness…
*sighs*
Is it common to lose lens caps? LOL’ Since I found they sell lens caps for separate, I’m thinking yes… but I only could find it in the Sigma Online Store. You know where I can find a Front Lens Cap for a 55-200mm Sigma Lens?
