MartinFan Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think at the start, when Chris finishes the piano and he leaves it to go to the center of the stage, he looks as if he is landing on the mark and staring as he sings "Hey am I standing in the right place?":lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmuse Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Actually at the end the video looked exactly like how we saw it being filmed except much more closer and in pace with the track. Like for the plank that lifts Chris up went a bit more quicker than on the actual video and it seemed a bit weird/creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Not sure if this has been posted, but this thread is mammoth and I'm a sleepy girl, so if it has, I apologise: Coldplay’s Christmas Lights by Mat Whitecross All I want for Christmas is a trio of violin-playing Elvis impersonators… Coldplay take time out from recording their new album with a rare one-off single in the form of this seasonal jolly and enlist Mat Whitecross to direct the proceedings. “Every Coldplay shoot involves a leap of faith” explains Whitecross. “The band are always intuitive and overflowing with great ideas. My job is to try and compress as many of them as humanly possible into a four minute track”. “Chris and Phil approached me three weeks ago to do a simple low budget video for their Christmas single. Just me, the band and a handycam, walking down Oxford Street at midnight. “A week later we’d narrowed the location down to their studio, a music hall, a central London rooftop, or possibly even Marble Arch. But finally we found ourselves on the banks of the Thames, building a huge stage, spraying confetti and setting off fireworks in front of a boatful of a hundred fans. “The band are the most generous, trusting and loyal friends you could ever hope for. Working with them is like making a family video on a Hollywood budget. It doesn’t get any better than this”. Coldplay Christmas Lights (Parlophone) Director: Mat Whitecross Producer: Hannah Clark Production Company: Between The Eyes @ Pulse Exec. Producer: Ben Pugh Representation: OBmanagement DP: Robbie Ryan Production Designer: Misty Buckley Construction: Steel Monkey Production Manager: Natalie Bayle Balloons: iLoom Post Production: Marc Knapton @ Brewery FX TK: Simone Grattarola @ Rushes Commissioner: James Hackett http://www.loops.net/go/news/15517959/coldplays_christmas_lights_by_mat_whitecross/ :surprised: I would have LOVED a video with a handycam and a walk down Oxford Street! Not that I don't like this one, of course :D. I just often think simple is better, and that that idea sounds like it could have been beautiful :wacky:. But it wouldn't have allowed for fan participation, I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it might have turned out far too similar to The Verve's "Bittersweet Symphony" video.:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Or that part of the Scientist, which is what immediately sprung to mind :P. But still, I like those kinds of videos best. It could have become one of those Chris-centric videos, though, which would have been unfortunate. However, I think their fame is such that filming a walk down Oxford Street, even late at night, could have caused a lot of logistical difficulties.

wisna Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 In some countries it is just not possible (including mine) :cry: I don´t understand it, I can order anything from amazon or any other e-shop, but not downloadable stuff. :cry: We don´t have any such digital music stores.

JillyBlue Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think at the start, when Chris finishes the piano and he leaves it to go to the center of the stage, he looks as if he is landing on the mark and staring as he sings "Hey am I standing in the right place?":lol: I agree! That's the one part of the video that I don't like. It seems awkward. Maybe it's because when Chris isn't at the piano we are accustomed to seeing him either with a guitar or romping around with a mike, not just standing in a line with Jonny and Guy.

And if you look closely you can see a blue chalk cross to the right of Chris' head when he lying on the floor by the piano earlier on (0:41). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaElisabeth Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 An auction for a copy of the single just came up on eBay. I added it to my watch list and ten minutes later the auction had ended (I'm guessing the seller took it down because there were no listed bids). Must've been a fake, right? There were no pics of the actual single, only the artwork. The seller, however, had 99% positive reviews... :thinking: Oh, well, it's gone now, anyway.

ApproximatelyInfinite Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I bet it was a fake...I don't see how anyone that would even consider putting it up for auction could have a copy. But what I would do to just see what the cool origami pop-up sleeve looks like...:bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
