Wow, over 15,000 performers at the opening ceremony. Craziness, and an example in tight coreography. My favorite moments were by far the opening drummers and the Tai Chi circle. You can download the drummers video here and the Tai Chi video here. Both are definitely worth seeing. I doubt that Olympics held in other nations could ever pull off massive amounts of performers as China did. The total production budget was $300,000,000. That’s over 10 times the cost of the opening ceremony of the Athens games.
