I think it is possible since they did an extended video for U2 with Vertigo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=SLrBQKCs_A0&feature=related

 

Yeah I noticed that earlier when I was looking for the new video. Its definitely possible that there's more footage... Maybe the whole video is being kept for NBA Finals/Stanley Cup programming??

yeah, it is a bit. but frankly, i love it too much to care :P

 

i made a computer background with it for myself, but it's a bit pixelly, and i'm really not in love with the text i added at the bottom and will probably delete it, but it's working on the most part for me right now. i think no matter what we do, desktop patterns based on this will be pixelly.

 

 

 

 

not my finest work, let me tell you :laugh4:

Good old iPhoto has done me right ;)

friggen awesome! hope australia gets it soon!!

 

very speed of sound, would be cool if it was a music video.

The X&Y iTunes commercial was just an excerpt from the Speed Of Sound video, right?

 

I hope that this isn't just the commercial, but a preview of the whole video!

 

It's possible. Craps all over Violet Hill anyway.

Oh my I'm loving this commercial, the colours are just beautiful and as someone already said if this is going to be the real video then it's absolutely awesome =D

Some info about the video:

 

Coldplay iTunes ad debuts on US TV

 

US TV audiences were last night treated to a new Apples iTunes ad spot for Coldplay's forthcoming album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends as the band's unique marketing campaign continues to roll out before the album's launch next month.

 

The 30-second ad, filmed by acclaimed director Mark Romanek, aired on American Idol at 8pm East Coast Time and featured a clip of the band performing the new single Viva La Vida. An accompanying graphic stated: Viva La Vida Coldplay exclusively on iTunes.

 

The band's manager Dave Holmes of Santa Monica-based 3D Management says the ad clip was filmed a couple of weeks ago and is a significant coup since Apple has only shot similar exclusive iTunes ad spots for a handful of major acts such as Eminem, Mary J Blige, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney. He also promised a wealth of other marketing activity - already first single Violet Hill was made available as a free download - as the album campaign unfolds over the next few weeks.

 

The ad follows other high-profile marketing activity leading up to the release of the album on June 16 in the UK and June 17 in the US, including giving away as a download for seven days the album's lead-off single Violet Hill, which was also cover-mounted as a seven-inch on the NME. The free download attracted more than 600,000 takers in the first 24 hours and more than 2m in total.

^^ Nice info!

Got the UK release date wrong though didn't they :P

 

I didn't realise it was filmed specially for the commercial, maybe there is a full length version floating around somewhere....

I want this ad! It was GREAT!

Only for the ad? Aw...

 

Still, I bet the real video will be amazing.

if thats gunna be the video it's really cool looking

Why are they doing itunes commercials?! :stunned:

 

Shame on you boys.

 

I don't think that this is selling out to advertising in the same way as selling your music to be used in commercials to sell something like cars or clothes etc. They are only promoting their own music. Sadly, now a days artists really need to promote their music online, as CD sales are getting so poor.

 

I am pretty sure they wouldn't have got paid to do this advertisement as it is just promoting themselves, not other artists or endorsing Apple products like i-pods or computers.

 

When they started out they played a promotion gig at the HMV music store in Oxford Circus, to encourage people to buy their CD from the shop. Lots of new bands do it. I don't see the difference between doing an online promotion for i-tunes store than doing a promotion for the HMV shop. It's still them just promoting their music. It's sadly not realistic that they can ignore the need to promote online sales, particularly through legal download providers like i-tunes.

 

I'd be upset if they allowed their music to be used to sell a non-music related product like a car, clothes or electronic equipment. No i-pod adverts please boys!

Oh I know, but they're advertising Apple and itunes as they do so. I agree with needing to promote music online too, is just that I don't think Apple or Coldplay really need advertising you know, everyone knows what both are.

 

It's good they're promoting paid downloads though and it really is rather cool :D

I say good for them! I doubt it will look like this in their video but who knows?? Thank you all who have posted links for the ad!! :kiss:

great video!!:D
