A Sky Full of Stars official video
Since arriving in Australia earlier on this week, the boys have been busy recording the video in the streets of Sydney, in which 250 fans had a chance to be part of. It was hinted that the A Sky Full of Stars official video would be ready shortly after the making of it, pointing towards a more simpler and fan oriented production, opposite to the Magic video which was very structured and acting oriented. After the band completed their successful Australian leg of the Ghost Stories tour, the official music video to A Sky Full of Stars was uploaded to Youtube! Many Coldplayers rushed to give their opinions on the Coldplaying forums and the video was trending on Twitter and Facebook.Without further ado, the A Sky Full of Stars official video!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPRjCeoBqrIThe video was produced by director, Mat Whitecross, who produced many previous Coldplay music videos, most notably Lovers in Japan and Paradise and his videos are widely praised among fans with the odd one splitting opinion, such as Charlie Brown.Fan reaction
What do Coldplayers across the globe think of the video? Here are the reactions from the forums and Twitter!from bdevil89I love Matt Whitcross and the videos Coldplay have done together - especially what they did for Paradise, Lovers In Japan... and I like the street vibe visual for the song - but this song is so epic and grand - heavenly and outer space kind of hit, or at least something to do with a sky full of stars - I could come up with some really great ideas for them to make a legit music video that captures the out of this world nature of this song. I am bit disappointed to be honest - it's nice, but not the right fit for this majestic song. They could have incorporated fans into the video by being out in a field under the sky full of stars - I'm sure there are some amazing sky full of stars there in the outback, and across the world. The title itself is such a beautiful visual (e.g. the visual animation of the cover art) - ahhhhh, was hoping for more... but it the official video (I wonder if they would do a second one like they did with Viva - that is more in line with EDM aspect of the song and an actual sky full of stars)
@coldplaying it's so unique how Coldplay has come together with fans in Sydney, Australia to create this spontaneous and exuberant video!

The performance from the Ghost Stories TV special is much better, with the stunning green sky and stars on the surround screens over their heads. That clip is how I think of this song. The clip on the video monitors here where Chris stops definitely looks like another ASFOS video. It has the circular dancing Chris does. By the way, for all you lucky Royal Albert Hall people, I bet there will be some great video screens there, in part because the building is round. It will be epic. You can see Chris' bodyguard a few times late in this video.
@coldplaying it is seriously the reason why coldplay is the best band in the world!

@coldplaying I did not like it at first view. Maybe a few more times would change my mind. Midnight & Magic are better.
