UPDATE: Added the “making of” video above.
Designed by BDA Singapore, this is the “official opening title sequence to the Beijing Olympic Games 2008″. Official because its the sequence used by Beijing Olympic Broadcasting, the host broadcaster of the games set up to provide television signals of the games to the rest of the world.
The video is a combination of live action and 3D animation, and is based around the “Chinese elements of nature – metal, wood, water, fire & earth”.
Read more about the spot here and here, and thanks to Nick for the video.
Great. Can anyone find the opening of previous olympic games broadcasters. I remember the one of Barcelona and for the winter games of Salt Lake and Turin.
