Thanks to Pacific Metropolis for picking up this promo video for 2010. It’s just one gorgeous scene after the other, with a New Agey soundtrack, pretty much guaranteed to make you feel all mushy about Vancouver and the Olympics. Sure it’s manipulative – unapologetically so. But it’s also worth appreciating the skill of the editor(s) in particular, as well as the production team that put it together, who go completely unrecognized. (If you stay til the end, you’ll see every sponsor and supporter, but no credits.)
Nice shots: the way SkyTrain blends into the skelton run, the Coal Harbour timelapses, the Mountie, and yes, the skater on the lake. Choose your own, and add them to the comments.
