There's a really quick clip of what looks like Guy and Will waving to us on the boat, and I can't help but notice how super pumped Guy looks. Makes me happy because I could hardly see them when they waved.

 

I believe it's from that too, but I think they are actually throwing their arms up in joy with the release of the balloons! :lol:

 

Didn't you all have to do tons of takes?! So it looks like they were finally happy it worked! :D

You know what I was thinking.

I wonder if they're going to put together a really large 'Making of' for the website.

Because Debs and Chris (not Chris Martin, the dude on the boat :P) were going around with

a camcorder and recording us on the boat afterwards, before and during.

I think that would be a little throwback to see us boogying on the boat.

When I asked Chris (again, not 'Martin') he said it was just for prosperity but I have the feeling that they'll do something with all the clips.

I have that feeling to I mean it would be a shame just to leave it all for nothing

yup yup.

and maybe at the end they'll show coldplay with the card we signed for them saying thanks. :D

I hope so , that would be great :blush:

^^ That card was more for the crew than the band, I think! :nice:

Ahh, I just saw the making of clip on Coldplay's website. I can't wait for tomorrow!!

he said it was just for prosperity.

 

You mean they're intending to make money out of it? No wonder they were so anxious for us to sign those disclaimers!:stunned::P

Someone asked what the line was that goes "Down where the sea and ..... meet". I think it's "Down where the sea and city meet" and I think Chris is referring to the river (Thames) because that is basically where the sea meets London and where all the lights are :)

I really like the song so far. I think they have done a really good job when I only listen to 30 seconds of the song, and get in the holiday spirit. I'll def be playing this a lot over the next month

I'm not digging it so far, but I'll reserve full judgement for when I hear the whole thing. I just find Christmas songs so... cringeworthy I guess?

Just realized that I will have to wait until I wake on Thursday morning to download the song because of the time difference. Damnshitbuggerf*ck.

I have a question that's bugged me awhile:

I understand they wanted some extras, but...why Elvises? Of all the things to have in the background of the video...why three Elvises with violins? WHYY?!?

 

Maybe I'll submit it to the boat Q&A's thing.

Let's flip that.....why not have a few Elvis's to jazz it up a little?:laugh3:

Haha, thanks for pointing this out. I'm Adelaidian too.

Oh really?? Have we met? Did you go to Perth or Melbourne?

You might've seen me walk through town once, it's a small city! :P

 

Didn't go to Perth or Melbourne. Funds wouldn't allow it!

Oh lol...yes Radelaide freaks me out..an almost incestrous city....or should I say, town.....

I actually wondered this too...I think it's likely. Not for the website, necessarily, but maybe for us? I can't remember what Ian said, but I think he may have said something like Debs was going to email us pictures she took (like the group one etc), and I wonder if they would include video clips or something as well. Although that is a lot of effort, I feel like if they were going to video us that much, they're going to use it somewhere at some point...because they only used one 2-second clip of boat footage in that video, and it was of my fat face :lol:.

 

However, most other times the camera was on and I noticed it, I waved like a complete idiot and danced around, so maybe it's best if that doesn't see the light of day...if the band saw it, Chris was DEFINITELY like "oh God, loo-girl..." :P

 

o thats cool, but howd we figure this out? ive never even heard of debs!

 

I don't remember the discussion process exactly, but it wasn't very hard to figure out because we knew what to look for :wink:.

 

Debs is like the Jane-of-all-trades for the band in a lot of respects and has been with them for years and years, and I basically have a girlcrush on her because I want to be her :P. Besides her working for Coldplay, though, that's the exact job I'm looking to have someday for some band, so I kind of get all ":cheesy:" when something to do with her comes around :lol:.

This is so cool! Will definitely be a distraction from the speech class I'm taking tomorrow.

So I've started to get messages in various places (i.e., not Coldplaying) from people I don't know saying that they recognized me in the video :lol: :uhoh:.

 

Should I be concerned? :P

 

OK, well, it's like Tumblr and Twitter, where I have my actual face as my icon and have posted pictures of myself before, but this is getting toooooo weird for me :freak:. And I still don't believe any of it. If I'm in the actual video too and it's played on actual TV...well, I won't go there because I hope other people get their chances to be seen--I've used up all my Coldplay Karma for the next CENTURY this week, it's someone else's turn!

 

And I've enlisted Sarah (SwallowedInSea) to help me make sure my head doesn't get too big, so don't worry about that, anyone :P

i keep rewatching the clip of the making of vid with the snippet. omg 2 pm CST (8pm GMT, right?) tomorrow, please get here soon...

Is it just me, or is the countdown clock on Coldplay.com messed up?

Lets make it TT in twitter tomorrow

On top of their stage there is also a sign that says "Credo Elvem etiam vivere." (I believe Elvis lives in Latin). It probably doesn't answer why there are 3 Elvises though :confused:
