Coldplay has released a new video, this time for the single Strawberry Swing. In what the band claims to be a “ground breaking” video we see Chris Martin donning a superhero costume and try to save a distressed damsel held hostage by a squirrel. Probably continuing with the spirit of puppet show thing they are doing for their current tour, the video is shot in a unique animation technique using moving backgrounds and other contraptions.The entire set is drawn in chalk. The creative force behind this video is a group of visual artists from London who call themselves Shinola. Previously Shinola had worked with Radiohead and Blur.
The video had a world premiere on Babelgum.com on July 20 and it will be shown at at Odeon cinemas before Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno and Sandra Bullock’s The Proposal.
