Yep i agree with you... if you have a look carefully round the 22 second mark, you can see the clapper thing so i think it deffo is an effect

Ooh, that girl is smart! Has Obama filled his cabinet yet, Chelsea? Your skills are wasted on us

Well I definitely thing it is supposed to be some sort of subliminal message, as it appears so briefly. and it's something coldplay wold try to do. Unfortunately I can't slow it down to get it frame by frame...

haha, he's slowly outlining his team. some people have been officially announced, but i think it'll be a few weeks before we know all the people. it's rumored there is a place for john kerry, though

haha, and personally, i'm 100% convinced it doesn't mean anything, it's just for effect, but i could always be wrong. i think it was just added in for shits and giggles, to make it seem like more of a "film". i doubt those are even matt whitecross's notes. with the VLV secret message in the film last december, at least that was obviously a secret message. this is an effect used in thousands of videos, so it would be harder to pick up a secret message, IMO, because its a commonly-seen thing that people would overlook and not ever think about it being important.

Yeah, on second thought it may just be a way of linking bits of clip, but the fact they include letters on it puzzles me.

Interesting guys....we need to investigate! :inqusitive:
This reminds me of all that hype around the Abbey Road Beatle album....they had secret messages in thier songs to...according to my dad anyway!

Yeah, Paul McCartney pokes fun of that myth in The Simpsons - he says that if you play one of their albums (it might be Sgt. Pepper but I can't remember) it gives you a reciepe for a vegetarian dish

I'm just saying it could be a combination of English words and one Japanese character representing a word

lol i know a bit of japanese as well which is why i was wondering how LL could represent a japanese character. but alrighty. the mystery still stands i suppose.

the letters would just be parts of words from the director's/editor's notes on the filmstock itself, if i'm right, but who really knows?

Fadelight · 08-11-2008, 10:25 PM

As someone very wise once said, your guess is as good as mine

ricardo · 08-11-2008, 10:48 PM

japanese letters and some other stuff...

Mig-El · 09-11-2008, 12:18 AM

ooohh crazy

JackD391 · 09-11-2008, 09:21 AM

I don't really know any hidden meanings in the video but i do believe that in the reg. song when chris sings "sometimes even the right is wrong" he is saying that the conservative side of politics (right side) can be wrong. Idk if anyone else feels this but i think it is indirectly implied through the song

busybeeburns · 10-11-2008, 09:24 PM

At around 3m45s in the LiJ video the letters EB., BA IN, and LL FO appear.

Any ideas? After all, they do like plonking random stuff around when you least expect it (remember the silent film that spelt out VIVA LA VIDA months before they revealed the album title or single?)

Darlene_Ihnfsa · 10-11-2008, 09:29 PM

i've said that may be is a secret message that just says:

Fall in Bebo

(you know some social network thing, which other bands have, so may be it means Coldplay will open their account there, in case they don't have one there).
