There are better commercials for the olympics playing in Canada.
Gave me chills!
Not as good as the BBC’s trailer for the turin olympics 2006
Gotta be the same people who did the ‘seconds from greatness’ Guinness advert?
I Love This!!
@ katyc. Can you link to a better Canadian ad? All the ones I saw were blandly assembled shots of the various sports.
it’s amazing…it has almost all the winter sports!
Brilliant……different style to the somewhat cheesy but not less brilliant Canadian CTV Ads. Fantastic Winter Games Canada! You showed the world how its done in Canada!
spooky.. i like it
@theculpritvideo
You could be right actually
@theculpritvideo It was made by Jon Klassen and Marc Craste.
Jon has done some amazing work!
@theculpritvideo WOW, I just found the seconds from greatness ad! I remember loving that when I saw it! Similar style, I can see were you are coming from!
@theculpritvideo SHIT, Sorry to keep spamming you with comments! But It just intruiged me so much! The link is uncanny! And you are right! totally right! Marc Craste, the guy who visualised this advert Also directed the Guinness advert!
I cannot belive how spot on you are!
@joetheknight Marc Craste was the creative drive behind it.
Sweet ad
what’s the song in the background?
@splint480 I will be somebody at the BBC Facepalming. We cannot match what China did in 2008, so we’re not trying
BBC always do the best olympic intros. Remember the Beijing one too? that was classic.
@SickStickify i thinks its from immediate music
This advert is awesome! The only thing that kills it is that the song in the background is or sounds like that stupid Michael Bublé song. *Shudders*
@murraythehotscot it IS that stupid Michael Bublé song. haha
@jimmyduckegg Guess I was in denial :\ It’s still epic even if it is connected to that idiot Frank Sinatra wannabe.
SKILLS!
