This November 2009-February 2010 time lapse of BC Place as the Olympic opening, medal, and closing ceremonies were built, rehearsed, and put on is pretty incredible. While a part of my soul hurts from the extravagance of cost exhibited herein (and the knowledge that much of it was directly from taxes), the other part of me that’s faced a challenge trying to put on events for just 300 people is completely in awe.

I can’t really wrap my head around the idea of rehearsing the closing ceremonies by night WHILE setting up and taking down the medal ceremonies to be conducted by day. I have a feeling London’s going to have to do something similar with the limited space that they have to work with.
