The highly-anticipated Tokyo Olympics are finally set to start on 23 July. In the run up to the opening, the BBC has released a new trailer to promote its forthcoming coverage of the sporting events.
The trailer boasts an aesthetic inspired by Japanese anime and video games and we watch as the camera moves seamlessly from a music video where real life singers transform into anime versions of themselves to an arcade screen displaying Olympic athletes in the style of Street Fighter characters.
As it weaves through various scenes in an immersive single shot move, we pick up on a whole host of cleverly embedded details, including Olympics signage, posters, stickers, toys, and more. Each subtle feature has been included to make for a unique experience with every viewing, allowing the audience to pick up on new details in the trailer over the course of the coverage.
