It wouldn't have killed the rhythm if they did it appropriately. i don't think there's any rule about that. In time you will see this, the link with what is happening right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevzz 146 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 I can see the parade somehow resembles Rio carnival vibe with the straight procession as if the carnival down the street. Like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 599 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 So those monoliths are where the athletes are putting the seeds they have been given to form the olympic rings later on? That is a very innovating and cool idea, to be honest. I just hope the rings actually look good and not messy like on the first rehearsal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What complete garbage presented to us by the national broadcaster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Juso 42 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Somehow irreverent to the ceremony conservatives like me, but strangely, pleasantly understated and beautiful. Projections are here to stay and they are a love hate for me. As mentioned quite short before parade, but probably more to come. The environmental aspect is nice, esp the tree for each nation. I moss the formal elements around rings, fanfare and anthem, it seems the stage, projection and lighting scheme share a lot with D Atkins Vancouver Ceremony, and that's not a bad thing.  I've missed you all. I am apprehensive about kinetic cauldrons.  Enjoy the rest of the show Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Filipe_Golias 20 Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 How much and how well you can do with simple things as light and music. Well done! PS1: I'm antecipating a surprising Olympic rings demonstration... PS2: I want a tricycle and one of those riders' clothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
