Olympic Opening Ceremony Hidden Camera - With Performers In Ear Monitor - Full Video 

And that's how you complete the biggest scene change in the world live.

13:58 "And turn, look at what you did, so so proouddd, well doneee" man, it was beautiful, epic.

Loved how the producers were so friendly and calm. Well done to everyone who performed ❤️

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

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.

This ceremony absolutely blew my mind. That score is so damn satisfying! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

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 💗

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.

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!)

two years later and this is still SO COOL and how pleasant were those instructors, not to mention the audience at the end X)

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 :)

I miss 2012 so much. There was so much pride in Britain, it was an amazing summer.

I love this, if you sync up both the and the BBC footage side by side you can see this chap :)

I found this fascinating!

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 you thought organizing the village fete was difficult

Not being biased as I’m British, but this has to be my favourite opening ceremony of them all. Thank you London 2012

The operator has nice voice

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.

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!

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!" 😂😂😂😂

Over a year ago, AND I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS.

2022, I still absolutely love this. It's so emotional too. Every single person, well done.

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!

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.

this is phenomenal, i personally watch pandemonium every month, that was jaw dropping moment even when i watch live form TV

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

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!

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. :(

Those kind words from the in-ear people towards the end were incredible. I've got actual chills!

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 monitor coordinator was crying!!!

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 ;-)

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!!

watched it in 2022 and I am so glad someone filmed this!!!!

dang, the response from the audience when walking back out.. man, what a feeling of accomplishment that must have been!

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.

Was so amazing, the comments from behind the scenes were very touching and I could feel the emotion. London was the best Olympics ever

What strikes me the most is how less we hear the assistant directors voice. Testament to how well the show was rehearsed / prepared.

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.

The best opening ceremony in history. Wish the USA could get a blu ray of it...

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

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.

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

Still brings tears to the eyes. Way more emotional than the over-choreographed robots of Beijing

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!!

8 years later and I think this is the best Olympic Opening Ceremony ever!!!

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!

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

So amazing to see this perspective, you all rocked! 10 years on I still remember how proud watching this on tv made me feel ♥️

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. :'(

That was amazing. Loved hearing the calls that you folks got to hear throughout. Amazing.

Can't believe this was 4 years ago! I can remember it all so well!

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.

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!

What an amazing look behind what was the last great Olympic Ceremony. Thank you for this.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for uploading. Such powerful memories.

Why every time I watch the opening ceremony I ball like a child that's just been told off...

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!!!!!!

the background score was absolutely magnificent and beyond explanantion

London did such an amazing job during the opening. Just one of my favorite Olympic opening ceremony.

This is an incredible insight in to how this marvellous endeavour was organised, truly remarkable

Well done indeed, this is utterly fantastic! Hope for the best in Rio 2016! Vamos lá gente!!!

This was so cool to watch. Thank you for uploading!

best opening ceremony EVER! FACT!

Thank you for sharing such a unique viewpoint of my favourite piece in the Opening Ceremony! Absolutely fascinating!!

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

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.

Still to this day 10 years later it is stilll amazing!

The way it's been conducted is simply inspiring!

Thank you so much for uploading this! So cool!

absolutely amazing , I love performances like this ''from behind the scenes '' wow

You were fantastic guys! as a GM I was lucky enough to see a rehearsal,those rings were amazing!

LOVE IT! Best opening segment ever!

To think what we’ve become in such a short time

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

Absolutely incredible, really adds to the experience. Thank you for sharing and making the games so amazing for all. Be great if we can get a downloadable copy of this

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.

i've got goosebumb many times while watching this videos...

Who is this lady talking, she is an inspiration. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been to be part of this

Exceptional video great to see behind the scenes like this, thank for sharing. All involved did us proud .............Love it

THE END WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! LOOK PROUD AT WHAT YOU DID

Love it. Especially the audience giving high fives at the end

just fantastic...best show ive ever seen...blows me away

absolutely awesome video! thanks for it!

It was beautiful. And now in this perspective even more so. Well done everyone. I went to the london stadium yesterday 🤩

That is an amazing video. Gives a completely different view of the opening ceremony

Amazing to see it from this perspective

Nice! Good work. Nice to see other than the formal with the inane BBC interspersed commentary

I wish GoPro cameras on performers was more common.

I can't believe how closely everyone was following the metronome! Brilliant!

Yassss. This is what i was looking for. I've always wanted to be a part of performing presentation especially big events like this. I hope someday in our country.

I still bawl my eyes out at this

Amazing this was unbelievably the best ever. Your all amazing

Superb teamwork!

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'm impressed and glad it was a Worker who videotaped this.

this stills brings tears to my eyes :) it's simply awesome
