Closing Ceremony for the Beijing Games

The Olympic games came to a close in spectacular fashion. As dazzling as the opening ceremony was, the closing ceremony was at least as amazing. I do not recall an opening or closing on par with what the Chinese produced.

My slight detraction from the opening regarding the camera angles did not reoccur in the closing. They kept the shots wide enough to appreciate the harmony and synchronicity of motion, and had shots zoomed in just enough to be able to see the details. Neither was over played, and the transitions allowed for a greater appreciation of each.

If you missed it, it is worth finding a copy to watch.
