I know it was already posted, but I found a 400*300 version that's awesome.

I really like the video and the song as well, but I'm disappointed being a Romanek video. I really expected him to kick ass with this one but it's a let down. It's just not his best suit to move the camera around wildly and shoot out of focus, if I wanted that I would have gone with Samual Bayer (if I was the one in control). No one can really blame Romanek for trying a new approach, but judging by the result, he should stick to what he knows best: beatiful photography.
         
i was really surprised when i caught it on mtv (gasp!) and saw that it was directed by romanek (double gasp!!). it has it's moments, but i agree with you that in general it's kind of a let-down of his usual work. but it's all ok, cause he's still the man. we all have bad days.
         
I think Mark did a good job, I love him, I think the thing that bugs me about it is Chris Martin, the way he is dancing and acting, Id rather see him with a mic in his hand just singing. I feel like clocks does better what this video was trying to do. But Mark is a god forever, no one can touch him.
         
i dont' see it as a departure from his other work, especially Linkon Park & Jonny Cash. I think the photography is beautiful. Also, most labels & artists prefer stricter performance videos for the 1st single & this fits the bill in an interesting way.
         
i liked this video when it was called Crystal by this band called New Order....
         
i loved it when it was "what's the frequency, kenneth" by this guy, peter care, for these kids from athens called r.e.m.
