Way back in May WCP was contacted by Warren Miller films to help service a production they were working on in the Whistler Mtn. area. It was quite hush hush and most crew and cast thought it was a commercial but as it turned out it was a portion of the beginning of the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The segment was a film snowboard beauty sequence with the ultimate finale of a live snowboarder jumping through the Olympic rings into the stadium to welcome the world. Special note: WCP’s co-owner Shin Campos was one of the snowboarders in the film and one of the 3 picked to possibly jump into the stadium. Another of the athletes “Kevin Sansalone” was injured on set so it was left with Shin and Johnny Lyall to ore opening night to choose who was to jump. Shin lost the coin toss and Johnny was the guy who kicked off the party.
Whistler Creek Productions is proud to have a hand in this legendary opening of the games and to also show the world what British Columbia and Canada has to offer for scenery and snow when it comes to outdoor productions.
