The Opening Ceremony of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games took place in Baku, Azerbaijan on the 12th May 2017.
The spectacular Opening Ceremony, ‘Knowledge’, tells a universal story of peace and hope, and celebrates the enormous contribution Islamic civilisation has made to everything around us.
After relocating to Baku in January 2017 it was a privilege to be part of the Ceremonies team, producing and managing video content for the Launch Ceremony, Regional Events Programme, and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Video content was displayed on an 85x45m projection screen, lit by over 130 projectors, as well as being broadcast live to over 30 nations worldwide.

The Journey will visit 15 more iconic locations throughout Azerbaijan, travelling 3000km over 37 days before returning to the Baku Olympic Stadium for the Opening Ceremony of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games.
As well as producing video content for the ceremony its self, I also provided quick turnaround highlights and multi-camera edits for distribution to broadcasters and media in over 50 nations worldwide.
