The Hardest Part

April 17th, 2006

So I was reading the NME this weekend and learned an interesting tidbit about Coldplay’s latest video “The Hardest Part” (which you can watch in its entirety right here.) If you’ve already seen the video you’ll agree with me that it’s VERY weird.

A mismatched pair of interpretative dancers performing on some sort of pier, with Coldplay in the background singing the song. Anyway, it turns out that the couple are actually from an 80s show called “Attitudes” and that the footage is about 15 or 20 years old – a friend of Chris Martin’s had shown him the clip years ago and Chris was just WAITING for a perfect opportunity to use it.

The dance performance and Coldplay footage were seamed together digitally in post-production so that they would appear to be taking place at the same time, on the same pier. Tres interessant, n’est-ce pas?
