Despite 4,000 volunteers, ceremony still a secret

Almost no one knows what's going to happen at the opening ceremony for the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

The executive producer of the 4,000-person extravaganza couldn't be happier.

"I have to say I'm very chuffed about that," said David Atkins, who staged the opening of the 2000 Sydney Summer Games.

In one month, the world will be officially welcomed to Vancouver in a multimillion-dollar opening ceremony taking place indoors for the first time.

Atkins is working 20 hours a day pulling together everything from logistics to administration, and rehearsals with the cast have gone so well that some of them have been canceled.
