The chorus of Coldplay's "Life In Technicolor II" ends, "Now my feet won't touch the ground." To video director Douglas Wilson (Dizzee Rascal, Bat For Lashes), who has worked with marionettes in the past, this must have called out like a personal invitation. And wait until you see what he dreamed up!
The "Life In Technicolor II" video takes the "painfully normal" vibe that Jared Hess (The Postal Service, Napoleon Dynamite) made famous and expands it into a full-on rock 'n roll fantasy. Watch as a boring, suburban kindergarten puppet show comes to life with Marshall stacks, fireworks, helicopters and, of course, crowd surfing. Amazing!
