We were delighted to find this posted online. It’s a slightly long watch, but well worth it. It’s the end of ‘Pandemonium’ from Danny Boyle’s Opening Ceremony for the London 2012 Olympics.
It includes the ‘forging’ of the Olympic Rings, and the beautiful pyro-cascade. Absolutely wonderful, and easily the iconic images from the Opening Ceremony.
(Note when you click to play you’ll get a ‘blocked’ message but there is a link to YouTube, so do follow it – and we don’t hold it against the IOC).
It brilliantly demonstrates that pyrotechnics, used as part of mixed media, can create a moving and inspiring vision. Enjoy!
