London, Jul 28 (IANS): Filmmaker Danny Boyle, the mastermind behind the grand opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, says the spectacle was a "warm-up" act for the Games.
The Oscar-winning film director was responsible for the incredible transformation of the stadium in Stratford Friday night.
"Tonight's a warm-up act for the Games. That's one of the things you have to keep remembering. You big it up for different reasons, and you hear it bigged up or slammed or whatever it is and you've got to keep remembering we're the warm-up act," contactmusic.com quoted Boyle as saying.
The ceremony lasted nearly four hours and covered many aspects of the life, history and culture of the British Isles.
