Perhaps something was lost in translation.

I watched the opening ceremonies and the commentator distinctly stated that the footprints were "digitally generated". Which I understood to mean that the images were virtual as opposed to actual. I did not hear anyone say anything about them being simply enhanced rather than wholly generated so the commentary itself flawed or erroneous.

Inkweary: I'm sorry to continue this crazy re-representation of things ad infinitum, but were you watching NBC? If you were, then you are wrong. We covered this in the iteration of comments on the first post. Matt Lauer referred to their filmic quality because Zhang Yimou is a director and designed the opening ceremonies. NBC did not know that what they were broadcasting was digitally enhanced -- that's why their online news division, MSNBC, reported the digital enhancement as breaking news two days later. Make sense?
