- Here is the Olympic Opening Ceremony Hidden Camera Footage overlaid with the audio of what the performers were listing to during the performance.
Each performer was given an IEM (In Ear Monitor) for the main cues to be given to people on mass.
Hope you enjoy!
Shot using GoPro Hero 2 camera.
13:58 "And turn, look at what you did, so so proouddd, well doneee" man, it was beautiful, epic.
🥹🥹🥰😭😭🙏👏🎉
And that's how you complete the biggest scene change in the world live.
Loved how the producers were so friendly and calm. Well done to everyone who performed ❤️
Respect.
Man, this was such a treat to watch here in 2024. As a kid I knew what was happening was big, but seeing this perspective is really mind blowing. Talk about an amazing show 🔥
This was the best opening ceremony ever
@@Easyjetroblox-p3fand probably always will be. in the UK we do not do performances in halves. makes me proud
That commentary at the end where she says turn and look at what you made gets me emotional. It lets you know about the hard work that goes into making the Olympics successful
This ceremony absolutely blew my mind. That score is so damn satisfying! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I cry every time I watch it
And I Will Kiss - Underworld
The thing to bear in mind about London's Opening Ceremony is that almost all the performers were amateurs who had just applied inline to take part. There were very few professionals involved. It was very clever and very quirky and the music was great. Typically British.
Thats normal in all ceremonies or performances involving lot of people, its simply cheaper this way
@shadowriver take it you didn’t watch Beijing 2008
January 2021, almost nine years of this spectacle... I'm not crying, you're crying.
To have someone say to you "you're now part of the cultural record of London, for ever and ever", and know it is true... WOW.
Watching it because of algorithms after having another Opening Ceremony viewing on Remembrance Day 2021...tears are flowing...as always ❤❤❤ Still incredible and always will remain incredible ❤ 💙 💚💛🖤🤍
I had no idea this existed until now and I’m really grateful someone has persevered this. Still one of my favourite things I’ve ever seen and it was fascinating to know what it was like to be at the epicentre.
I performed as one of the dancing nurses. Was extra special as my sister also got picked to do the nurses section too.
The moment I ran out pushing my giant bed to all the cheering crowds and cameras I will never forget! London 2012 💗
And Oh how the nurses danced in 2020 and the people clapped as the nurses danced. Anyone might be forgiven for thinking 2012 was a ritual for 2021.
I performed as a volunteer drummer, though I was meant to be a second, the drummer didn't show due it illness. Lucky break if you ask me?
@@Vangough792 Haven't you got an ear to cut off 😂

Correct
I remember when Danny Boyle first announced his plans for the opening ceremony, complete with a model of how the stadium would look at the start, and there was a fair amount of eye-rolling at the idea. 12 years later and it's never been bettered. Never.
Spot on. Genius
two years later and this is still SO COOL and how pleasant were those instructors, not to mention the audience at the end X)
Kaybee 5 years later and it was such a great event, I love the music in it ever since I watched it live.
@@jackjones8988 still great after 7 years!
Just as good 10 years later. Love to come back and watch this. Makes me so proud.
10 years later and still amazing
11 years and still amazing
To all the volunteers who made the Opening and Closing Ceremonies happen (and the Games Makers who kept the Games going): you guys are still rock stars in my eyes, and always will be. Bravo and cheers from California. (And cheers to the uploader for giving us this special look behind the scenes!)
princesskyrie First like
I don't even want to think about how much time and planning must have gone into just this opening section never mind the entire opening ceremony...
And how much tax payer money xD
VinCrisp Some things are worth paying for and this was worth paying for however it was financed.
+Hugh Janus. What do you plan on doing when you grow up?
@@talon6890 They were all volunteers mate
I was kept below budget..and well worth the money.
I'm always emotional when I watch videos about the (amazingly well done) opening ceremony. I've studied English literature and history for a few years so at the time I understood all the references of the show. A few months later I moved to the UK for my Erasmus experience and I have wonderful memories about the trips I did and the people I met. Whenever I hear the songs I'm teary and thankful for the English teacher and the experience abroad that I've had. What a wonderful country you have. Can't wait to come back for a few days whenever I can. A French student :)
Thomas Bénard your awesome
If it were not for my British heritage I would not know as much as I do about this ceremony. My last name means "The barley farm on a hill." Slightly boring until I learned the history
Merci 😉
Just wait for Paris 2024
Not being biased as I’m British, but this has to be my favourite opening ceremony of them all. Thank you London 2012
I don’t think I recall seeing the opening ceremony. I think when it is in your country. You take more notice. I think all the local hype helps
The production was incredibly. So positive. Well done everyone.
I miss 2012 so much. There was so much pride in Britain, it was an amazing summer.
Almost 2 years since we started rehearsing in "Sunny" Dagenham. This brings back some amazing memories. A fantastic time for all involved, a soggy summer spent making new friendships that will last a lifetime. Thanks Dan for filming this. Cornwall still Rocks!!! WMW096.
Awesome work
Those kind words from the in-ear people towards the end were incredible. I've got actual chills!
I love this, if you sync up both the and the BBC footage side by side you can see this chap :)
David Portass can you pinpoint which points in both videos where he is.
th-cam.com/video/4As0e4de-rI/w-d-xo.html
At the 21:54 mark you can see the round thingie in the middle of the screen.
That corresponds to the 3:10 mark in this video... I think this guy is in the group stopping at the opposite side from the stairs...
@@thiesenf Specifically, use the single drum strike heard here at 1:14 and in the official broadcast at 19:21 to sync up the two videos, and you can get it more or less perfect.
@@thiesenf Yes, white shirt in the bottom right part. Facing away from the camera, the most center of the three.
That corresponds to a white shirt visible at this video 7:41 (notice the camera) the other video 26:23 - he's behind the tycoons. In the other video, look at the white shirt with blackened chest, just between tycoons 2 and 3 from the right. Timestamps might be a bit off.
I love it at about 14:00 when you can hear the guy say "Move if you have to Forgers, move if you're getting burned!" 😂😂😂😂
lol I didn't hear that the first time
wow did literally someone get burned? :D
@@chip48well to be fair that was real steel they smelted. Huge effort to get that signed off while keeping it secret!
@@peterweatherley7669 😂 At a cool 1400ºC I'm surpirsed they had any eyebrows left!
@@peterweatherley7669 It wasn't, the rings were fitted with LEDs and the sparks were just fireworks. The sort of stuff that might burn you a bit but not kill you.
Over a year ago, AND I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS.
Craig golden boy Bailes over 8 years ago and I STILL get them too!
10 years ago and makes me cry still
11 years… and likewise.
12 years and it's now Paris. I still come back to watch this... 🩵
The operator has nice voice
Very important for stage mangers to have a calming quality.
@@tomshea8382that’s one hell of a stage to manage!
@@tomshea8382 DSMs are always swan-like imo!
This part of the ceremony was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, and watching it last summer with the commentary off and the sound too loud is something I will never, ever forget. Thank you to everyone who made it happen!
Wow, this is incredible. I've only ever seen the broadcast version of this up until now so to see it from a first person view is amazing! It's taken me 12 years to find this and I'm so glad I did!
Thank you to OlympicHiddenCamera (aka a member of the county that rocks ;) ). Two years on I wanted to hear the In Ear bits again. Amazing how much I did not register on the night or forgot.
The thing I clearly remember is Steve asking people to help county J. That, I believe, was one of the few things that did not change during all the rehearsals in the stadium.
Thank you for putting it online.
I found this fascinating!
12 years later and still one of the best Olympics I have saw
...and you thought organizing the village fete was difficult
The best opening ceremony in history. Wish the USA could get a blu ray of it...
I wish at least *one* of my Blu-Ray players was region free so I could just import BBC's Blu-Ray of this ceremony since NBC will never make one themselves...
+BlueDragon992 it's on TH-cam if you want to re watch
first time looking at the performance from this perspective and i'm literally in tears right now (i'm not even british). that moment when everyone looked back at the rings they've made omg!! 😭
2022, I still absolutely love this. It's so emotional too. Every single person, well done.
10 yrs later... still so epic! Watching it from this angle really reenforces the human turned into a machine theme of it all too: walk down stairs and u-turn and do the same action again. So much mow detailed then was shown on TV. "Poppies" was another brilliant segment. That must have felt like an eternity just standing there. Danny Boyle knocked it out of the park!
this is phenomenal, i personally watch pandemonium every month, that was jaw dropping moment even when i watch live form TV
this is just the best and most perfect choreography that i have ever seen. The music, the absolute harmony of all taking part, the effects, the show... it's so absolutely mindblowing. The producers being so emotional at the end is just pure bliss. Thank you for posting this and being part to that wonderful display. Just so so so amazing work of everyone involved!
This was AMAZING!!! amazing to see from a new angle and hearing the tech people was cool, got a little emotional at the end ;)
Proud to be British
This moved me so much. As a Brit I remember the hype and awe created by this opening ceremony. To see a glimpse into how it came together was just really something. This video is incredible. Well done to everyone involved, what a wonderful time it was for our country.
The best olympic ceremony there ever was and ever will be. So proud to be a Londoner and to have watched this on TV live. I was only 9 or 10 at the time but I fully knew how important what I was watching was.
So glad to see this on youtube and the in-ear cues make this so much better!
The music is this was just phenomenal too, perfect mix of ostinatos without it ever getting boring.
Definitely one of the most impressive Opening Ceremonies in the history of the Olympics. Well done London - I continue to watch this years later because of how amazing the entire production was.
They're repeating the 2012 opening ceremony on TV. No 2020 Olympics due to covid.
Had to come back to watch this. It always makes me cry when the rings come together and the directors are so proud of the performers. Can't even imagine how they must've felt in the stadium.
What strikes me the most is how less we hear the assistant directors voice. Testament to how well the show was rehearsed / prepared.
i genuinely believe pandemonium to be one of the best 30 minutes of theatre
just brilliant
Was so amazing, the comments from behind the scenes were very touching and I could feel the emotion. London was the best Olympics ever
I can't believe I had only just discovered this after like 7 years of watching the video of this scene from the stands. Loved it great insight thanks for sharing! As an Aussie I have a soft spot for the Sydney Olympics off course but I remember waking up to this scene on a Saturday morning in Australia. It blew me away! Loved it I have lost count how many times I have seen this and listened to this song. Well done London. 👏 Stay strong, Stay Safe. Australia is thinking off you during these tough times. :(
The monitor coordinator was crying!!!
dang, the response from the audience when walking back out.. man, what a feeling of accomplishment that must have been!
Wow that was one amazing video. I have watched 'Pandemonium' endless times but to see it first hand is just fantastic. All volunteers, all performed brilliantly.
I've only just discovered this...what a shame.
But what a brilliant view. Well done guys. It's an opening I will never forget (and I watched it on TV at home ;-)
Generational stuff right here ;-)
Had it on while doing other stuff and then had to stop and watch... was blown away. ( USA, FL)
Wow thank you ever so much for this, I've watched Pandemonium dozens of times and it was really interesting to see it from the performers eye view -everyone who worked on this event should be very proud of yourselves as this show had a profound effect on me and is probably one of the only things that has made me feel proud to be British.
watched it in 2022 and I am so glad someone filmed this!!!!
How am I only just finding this footage now.
Well done to all involved.
Best forming of the Olympic rings.
Best overall opening ceremony in living memory
I was there in person and it was one of the greatest spectacles I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!
wow first time ive seen this since the opening Ceremony. I was there as part of the Olympic officials in the stadium - still gives me goosebumps now
Who is this lady talking, she is an inspiration. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been to be part of this
When you look back at all those miserable individuals who complained about the Olympics before it kicked off, but the moment this opening ceremony started the whole country got right into it!!
They worked extra hard to please us miserable gits
They stuff everything else up here, no wonder people doubted it would be great. Your comment basically says more about you, labelling people. Maybe the disaster that tory government is on many many lives doesn't touch you, I'm glad for that, but you aren't helping with your bs negative opinion
There are always someone that disagree with something. That’s human nature for you
Still brings tears to the eyes. Way more emotional than the over-choreographed robots of Beijing
Thanks for sharing this. Now, I know what the view is like for WMW. I was one of the drummers. Didn't know the challenges and stress you all faced until I saw this. GREAT job! Watching this again gave me a fuzzy feeling and I swelled up. We are indeed part of London 2012 history :D
Forgive my profanity, but holy shit this was fucking AMAZING. This section of the ceremony was, IMO, the greatest spectacle in televised history, and I've always wondered what it must have been like to be a part of it. Now, I have some small idea. When they turned around to look at the rings... the pride in the directors' voices... I wept. Seriously. And this is 10 years later.
the background score was absolutely magnificent and beyond explanantion
That internal metronome though . keeping in complete sync with the music throughout the entire thing...what a performance
8 years later and I think this is the best Olympic Opening Ceremony ever!!!
Today is August 1st, 2024 and I’m just now seeing this!
As the Paris games were getting ready to start up, I watched the full London OC again here on YT… absolutely love the opening sequence.
I teared up at the end :') What I love more than the performance itself is seeing behind the scenes. As someone who wants to perform when I'm older this is absolutely fascinating. When I watched the sequence on TV it was by far one of the most moving and beautiful things I've seen. Every performer did brilliantly. Hearing everything in the earpiece shows how hectic it must've been even though it looked absolutely smooth to the audience. Bravo to everyone involved
London did such an amazing job during the opening. Just one of my favorite Olympic opening ceremony.
This feels like I'm part of one them!!!!! I like this!!!! Thanks for uploading this!!!!! I love to see how they did this :) London did an excellent job at this!!
That summer, was amazing. I miss it so much, I stayed up till 5 every night, watching the olympics and on my computer. I really wish I would bring last summer back. :'(
Can't believe this was 4 years ago! I can remember it all so well!
best opening ceremony EVER! FACT!
Why every time I watch the opening ceremony I ball like a child that's just been told off...
Me too 🥲🥲🥲
Well done indeed, this is utterly fantastic! Hope for the best in Rio 2016!
Vamos lá gente!!!
So so magical...it's bringing me up in goosebumps and making me ever-so-slightly emotional!
So proud to've been part of the Olympic/Paralympic Ceremonies Cast...I LOVE YOU ALL EVEN THO I HARDLY KNOW ANY OF YOU!!!!!!
I can't believe how closely everyone was following the metronome! Brilliant!
i've got goosebumb many times while watching this videos...
That was amazing. Loved hearing the calls that you folks got to hear throughout. Amazing.
opening ceremony always gives me chills, can't believe I've just discovered this by chance
So amazing to see this perspective, you all rocked! 10 years on I still remember how proud watching this on tv made me feel ♥️
I was in the audience at the age of 8 years old. This was the best thing I have ever seen. London 2012 will be the best ceremony for a thousand years
Next time I hear of the budget of such a ceremony I'll remember that it starts with a receiver and earpiece for every. single. actor.
I just cannot believe what i have witnessed, i have probably heard two-three different voices that conducted all of those people how could that be possible? What an amazing emotional support you got from them that was just so amazing it made me really emotional. ALL of you did perfect work this is not the first time i have seen this ceremony, what a stunning performance. I am not a British so that i could understand what this could probably meant to you, but for your nationality it probably meant a lot
This is an incredible insight in to how this marvellous endeavour was organised, truly remarkable
No doubt the best scene of the whole ceremony.
Somehow I missed seeing this video for years even though I loved this performance. I'm really glad to hear the production team is nothing but supportive throughout. I guess they must have had different radio channels for Drummers/ Actors and some of the other groups as the comments def are mostly for the "Working Men and Women" group here.
Well done to everyones hard work, it's still the best performance in an Olympic opening event ever. I hope you are all still proud (and don't have Tinnitus now)
The drummers' channel is on Soundcloud under the title "Pandemonium Steve and Rick"
Im so impressed.... what i want to say is ..thank you..i mean really thankful to you and others that day. I actually didnt think about workers in ceremony when i was watching it;but now i know that your guys did great job and done fantastic results.. i just dont know what i have to say more..but if i have to say...I will say in my language.사랑합니다-means that: i love you.
This is amazing! I was one of the thousands of volunteers in the opening ceremony for the 2013 FIFA Confederation Cup. And it was amazing. Thanks for sharing this!
Love it. Especially the audience giving high fives at the end
The way it's been conducted is simply inspiring!
Still to this day 10 years later it is stilll amazing!
Wow, that must have been an unbelievable amount of IEMs. I'm honestly blown away they worked at all, that must have been a massive amount of radio waves.
nah, one transmitter, and what, a thousand receivers? Just like everyone listening to Radio 1.
@@AndreasQ2 actually you are right. Seems like all volunteers listened to the same feed so yeah, one trnasmit with enough power is enough.
@@mikosoft There were 5 channels for In-Ears. The drummers' calls are on Soundcloud under the title "Pandemonium Steve and Rick". "Stars" were on another channel, but only a few samples of that have been made available, such as the cue for Kenneth Branagh.
Amazing to see it from this perspective
LOVE IT! Best opening segment ever!
Wow this is amazing - watching the whole Pandemonium segment is truly something I'll never forget, and it's so cool to see that you managed to capture this unique POV of it. Props to you, all of the cast, staff and the nice producers on comms!
Well done everyone! I found that really quite emotional. When Britain was Great.
That was remarkable! One of the best acts in the Opening Ceremonies
What an amazing little gem to find on TH-cam.
It was beautiful. And now in this perspective even more so. Well done everyone. I went to the london stadium yesterday 🤩
I was really looking forward to watching this video. Unfortunately, after a couple of minutes, I have made the unfortunate discovery that I am actually very prone to motion sickness, and I had to stop. Nonetheless, it's pretty incredible that you were able to capture this. Thanks for uploading it!
absolutely amazing , I love performances like this ''from behind the scenes '' wow
just fantastic...best show ive ever seen...blows me away
Brilliant. Thanks so much for uploading. Such powerful memories.
That is an amazing video. Gives a completely different view of the opening ceremony
