Director's Cut and Commentary from Danny Boyle
Isles of Wonder Deconstructed - The Thames is "liquid history". Discover how the visual effects team created a thrilling animated journey up the river from its source, to the Olympic stadium itself - passing sights real and imaginary.
Nimrod - The sound of the shipping forecast and billowing blue sheets transform our meadow into "an isle of wonder", to the stirring sound of Elgar's Nimrod, as played by the London Symphony Orchestra's On Track project.
Frank Turner in the Green and Pleasant Land - Frank Turner's acoustic songs performed in the stadium perfectly captured the atmosphere of a long summer evening.
Thanks Tim Projection House - This ambitious section celebrates the amazing technology that makes us dance, helps us communicate, commute, remember, and dream and most of all fall in love.
