Much prefer this than that elephant crap in their other video, great work!
Mohit Deshpande 1 month ago

Very true. The music video should have all along been about a little girl. Not about Chris Martin in a silly elephant costume

Here here, didn't quite understand that concept. Nice to see something real and believable.
Callum Peters 1 week ago

Ha I'm sure the elephant video was only a bit of lightheartedness! I love it! But I love this too... nice to see some variations on the theme anyway.

Despite all of our so-called adult behaviors, this video seems to strongly imply that we are all just children trapped in an increasingly lonely and isolated world.

This is the second song that i like from Coldplay...The video is so beatiful!
Nicholas J. Kinar 4 weeks ago

It would be wonderful to see more of the animated film-within-a-film cartoon series. I can think of many situations involving the rabbit and other characters. Moreover, the animation projected on the little girl is simply splendid. I assume that a digital projector was used on set to create this effect in-camera.
Shynola 4 weeks ago

Hi. Try 'Peppa Pig' - this was our genuine, loving homage. And yes, a digital projector with a very wide beam (for a very shallow room).
Nicholas J. Kinar 4 weeks ago

That's great; I love animation. Of course, it's neat to know that a projector with a very wide beam was used. The particular scene with the projector also reminds me so much of the Strawberry Swing video that you guys did for Coldplay a few years ago.

Amazing work, but I am having a little trouble understanding. What is the story that this video is trying to tell us?
Shynola 3 weeks ago

It is a fictional story derived from our perception of the song's sentiment. The plot is incredibly straight forward:

A woman is released from prison and returns to an empty, lonely home. An old toy of some significance stirs up romantic feelings: She dreams of Paradise. She goes about tracking down her former boyfriend, however when she catches up with him he has moved on. She is devastated and symbolically leaves the old toy with him. Then, at her lowest, she by chance meets another man and her future becomes unexpectedly brighter.

Sorry if this was hard to follow. We suggest you check out the official video.

Thank you so much. I have watched the official video and understand now.

Keep up the good work.
