Vancouver 2010 Opening & Closing Ceremonies: David Atkins Enterprises (showreel)

Описание: David Atkins, the newly appointed Executive Producer for Vancouver 2010s Olympic Ceremonies Team isnt giving anything away. No hints, its too early in the process. What viewers can be sure of, though, is that it will be exciting. Theres no shortage of talent in Canada, said Atkins. In fact, theres an embarrassment of riches when it comes to Canadas resource of performers, artists and cultural practitioners. The ceremonies will profile and represent the best of these.

CREATING A CEREMONIES ADDICTION

The Olympic and Paralympic Opening and Closing Ceremonies strive to capture the spirit and unique personality of the host city, province and country, while providing inspiring Olympic and Paralympic messages and entertaining billions world wide.

Atkins, who was the Executive Producer and Artistic Director of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Summer Games ceremonies as well as the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 15 th Asian Games in Doha in 2006, admits that working on the Olympic Games becomes a bit addictive. The pressure is quite extraordinary on every member of the team. These are once-only events. Its a highly-charged experience with years of work coming down to one night, one time, and one place.

Its not surprising, then, that the majority of the Ceremonies Team has worked on past Games Ceremonies, including Calgary 1988, Sydney 2000 and Torino 2006. Marti Kulich, VANOCs Program Director, Ceremonies and Production Services, noted that it is not just a group of individuals but truly a team that will produce the 2010 Olympic Ceremonies. And what a team.

Ceremonies Creative Team members include Jacques Lemay, Ian Pool, and Catherine Ugwu, all of whom have previously worked on Olympic, Commonwealth and other international Games. Prominent Canadian music scene legends, Bruce Allen, Sam Feldman and Dan Fraser, are also on board. Ignatius Jones, Artistic Director of the 15th Asian Games Ceremonies, as well as Érick Villeneuve, acclaimed Director and Special Visual Effects Designer round out the 10-member team along with Atkins and Kulich.
