Key Objectives

1. Deliver an impactful opening ceremony:
Maintain the grandeur and excitement of a live event.

2. Engage a global audience:
Ensure the ceremony resonated with viewers worldwide.

3. Reinforce the BBC brand:
Use the event as a powerful piece of out-of-home advertising.

4. Overcome restrictions:
Leverage technology to create a compelling experience without a physical audience.

Creative Concept

We developed a large-scale projection mapping installation to transform the event venue into a dynamic, interactive experience.
High-lumen projectors were used to create vibrant, high-contrast visuals that told the BBC’s story.

Custom animations aligned with the BBC’s brand identity, and interactive elements simulated the communal atmosphere of a live event, providing viewers with an immersive experience that captured the essence of the traditional ceremony.
