Coldplay ‘Paradise’ by Shynola
Friday, 20. January 2012 - 2:38 pm
After spending 3 months to climb to No.1 in the singles chart, Coldplay release a new promo to accompany their evergreen Paradise, this time directed by Shynola.
In the promo a young girl – brilliantly played by Lily-May Crosby – leaves prison, nicks a car and drives to The North to find her ‘paradise’. Arguably Coldplay’s grittiest video ever, it’s also a bold step into working in live action by the Shynola team after so much wonderful animation work (and this does include some lovely animation). Excellent stuff.
