All videos at a glance
This section looks at the presentation broadcast in the lead up to the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games on 27th July. It is principally based on a superb animation created by Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe Y&R, animated by Passion Pictures and produced by Red Bee Media. The music for the trailer - entitled 'First Steps' - was composed by Elbow and performed with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and the NovaVox gospel choir.
The main animated Olympic trailer. There are several edits from just five seconds through to the full 2'40" trailer that was first broadcast just before 7.30pm on 2nd July. The first video here is the full length trailer (a very large download), whilst the second video is the one minute edit.
