Common Wealth Games 2010 opening ceremony (CWG 2010):

2 years ago
Common Wealth Games 2010 opening ceremony (CWG 2010):The Little Facts: About 1200 moving lights, 25 stacks of speakers and about 2700 shots of fireworks spread across the roof of the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium combined with a stage weighing 500 tonnes to create a spectacular opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games here today. The gigantic main stage, inspired by the ''mandala'', a sanskrit word for the geometric designs symbolic of the universe in Hinduism and Buddhism, which is one of the largest built for an opening and closing ceremony. The stage was built within seven days by about 500 workers. Weighing an approximately 500 tonnes. The stage is large enough to hold 500 people under it. The opening ceremony would have never been that spectacular had it not been for the lighting arrangements. 1200 moving lights, 120 space cannons and 16 follow spots weighing approximately 75 tonnes was what it took to enchant the about 60000 spectators. The 25 stacks of speakers produced 500000 Watts of sound. If one was impressed by the fireworks, it was because of the 2700 shots spread over 88 locations on the roof of the stadium. The crowd had erupted in joy as the firecrackers went up in air heralding the beginning of the Games. The entire system was supported by over 50 km of power cables that were used to provide constant power for the opening ceremony.From:MrsumanraoViews:2739 1ratingsTime:10:24More in  more...
