Vancouver 2010 Opening Ceremony Recap


Click To Increase Text Size: Normal Big Bigger


Wow, the opening ceremony for the 2010 winter Olympics was beautiful. The use of technology in the show was very advanced, and the idea of making the audience wear white ponchos in order to utilize them as "projector screens" was ingenious as well. I've tried to find a complete video of it online, but NBC is retaining usage rights and making it near impossible to show anywhere else. So, if you missed the show on TV, you can watch it on the NBC website by using the links below. NBC is splitting the video into three parts, so click the links in the order that I post them below. After one video ends, come back to this article and click the next link. Have fun!

PART ONE - Opening Ceremony  <-- This is the opening scene
PART TWO - Opening Ceremony  <-- This scene introduces the athletes
PART THREE - Opening Ceremony <-- This is the torch lighting and cinematic scene (very interesting!)

Go Team USA!
