One of the most uplifting nighttime highlights at the 2010 Olympics is Robson Square’s impressive light and laser show, Ignite the Dream. Situated right in the heart of the downtown buzz, this amazing light show captivates thousands of eager on-lookers everyday.
There are two nightly shows starting at 9:30pm and 11pm. Arrive 30 minute early to secure a decent spot and to avoid the drunken rowdies, who, in their own way add a whole new dimension to the Olympic experience.

Thanks for giving us an inside into the celebrations in Vancouver, Lisa. These videos have been great and I’m insanely jealous of that awesome video quality!! Keep posting them, I’ll keep watching :)
[...] I’m using the RØDE VideoMic (Directional Video Condenser Microphone) for sound which has worked out alright. It’s obviously not ideal to shoot in noisy crowds like this video I shot in a crowd of enthusiastic hockey fans. But it’s a great, low priced mic that I’ve used in many video projects. You can tell the difference in using the VidMic compared to the on-camera mic at the end of this video. [...]
Did you use any stabilization as you walk through the square with your 5DMkII? Or was that all hand held?
@Daniel Yu:
I can almost guarantee that there was no stabilizers used when walking through robson. When using such a wide focal length like 16mm, camera shake is almost negated.
@Daniel Yu: nope. totally hand held. @Marlon is right.
uh love that lens <3
Awesome video! I haven’t stopped listening to that song since yesterday and when I heard it start on this video and nearly spat water onto the screen I was so excited!!!!! :D :D
