Didn’t expect I could still add more posts to my ‘BeyoniMeeting…’ collection! One more world-renowned figure, wow :3
Designer of the Olympics flame above! (And many more masterpieces~ click here!)
– Think ‘negatively’. What is not enough? What gotta be changed?
– People always remember the Olympics Cauldron as a dish of flame supported by a stick. But could you recall any specific design? Nope.
– People tend to only remember the ‘moment’ when it is lit. Not the cauldron.
– Audiences will always look around and ask ‘Where is it? Where is it?’. Why not take advantage of the ‘circularity’? (kind of ‘haha’ inside my heart when he said this word..why not just circle? XD)
– 204 different copper (Why? Too many gold silver bronze already!) petals symbolizing 204 countries with the country name engraved on each. Each rusty petal was given back to the country as a souvenir!
– To avoid any accident, the very first rule given by the board is ‘it must not move.’ See? Rules are made to be broken right away lol
– Partial rehearsals could only be done secretly at 2/3am when no airlines are operating above.
– So I asked him after the presentation..did the real thing happen exactly 100% the same as expected?! (If u wanna know, come to admiralty for lunch and I will tell you in person :P)
