Tash Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just found this on Ebay Here's a very special auction item for you to bid for on Creative Review's last day of Comic Relief fundraising: director Dougal Wilson has kindly donated one of the puppets from his brilliant, Grammy award-nominated video for Coldplay's single Life in Technicolour II... The puppet is an Indian musician who accompanies Coldplay on a santoor (a trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer) while they perform as puppets to a crowd of confused children during Heswall Village Fête. Shown above is a picture of the puppet, and below is a still from the video that shows him with the band. The puppet is a modified vintage Pelham puppet, redesigned by the video's award-winning art director Andy Kelly, and equally award-winning costume designer Michelle May. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own some unique Coldplay ephemera (the band themselves have their own puppet figures, so this is as close to a member of the 'puppet band' as you're likely to get). 95% of sale to Comic Relief, 5% to cover shipping (if there is any surplus we will donate that too!) :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 They should be auctioning off one of the band members' puppets. :disappointed: Even if they were damaged, it's a bit more memorable, do you know what I mean? :thinking: Anyways, I always think it's wonderful when the band donates things to charity auctions. :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
