  • Damn, I hope I don't die in a hospital like that and go out and do something like this guy.

  • Far better than the one in first place :)

  • Definately should have been the winner, a lot of others were good but this sums up the whole album and song concept and is so well done.

  • Lost? fits this video so so well!!! great idea!

    I try my best to avoid crying:))))

  • Damn, this was GOOD! And it kept it touch with the themes of the "Viva la Vida" album.

    Especially well made. I would have thought it was the official video. You guys still have prospects in stage production. :)

  • I love how this video ties in with the main themes of Viva la Vida and Prospekt's March. Very professionally made too. In fact, if I had been told that this was the official video, I wouldn't have questioned it. The guys in Coldplay must see something that I don't in the winning video, because this is in my opinion many miles ahead of any competition. Don't ever stop.

  • This shoulda won!

  • This is incredible! I like it a lot!!!

    I can't understand why it didn't win. It should have won. Anyway thanks for showing it to the world. Congratulations on doing such a brilliant video!

    Lots of love from Moscow, Russia :)

  • This video is incredibly movie.

    I agree, this video should've won.

  • i couldn't resist commenting again, erm, after looking at the other entries of the competiiton, this has to be one of the best.

  • ohmygod, i would have given you a thousand stars for this video.

  • i wish would die that way

  • he realy death

  • 10/5 amazing video

    it make me cry T_T

    Really good work it's awesome!!!!!

  • it made my cry too. hahahaha

  • how did this not win?????

  • very nice !!!

  • this vid should've won!

  • i prefer this version

  • Nice! Very deep. Where did you get this version of Lost? I'm a big fan of the piano versions of Coldplay songs.

  • I believe Lost? was released on the Lost! single.

  • it was on the digital download for Violet Hill and in the Japanese version of Viva LP, too.

  • Lost with a "?" not a "!"

  • You can get it on the Viva La Vida album along with all the other songs. (:

  • Its on the Lost EP

    Or the original and the Jay-Z one are available on the Viva La Vida/Prospekts March EP/Album

  • This is just beautiful. The love and consideration for the music is visible and palpable. Concept is flawless. Such fantastic, beautiful work!! Young man your future is very bright.

  • I like this one better. A really good video to a really good song! KUDOS!

  • Vive la France !!!!

  • Wonderful... Congratulations and i wish you a lot of success in your future work. Coldplay are amazing musicians as well as people for giving a chance to young people like Martin to prove themselvese.

  • Completely amazing.

    Song and video.

    <3

  • AMAZING SONG

  • Absolutely brilliant!

    This is certainly my favorite out of all the Lost? videos. In fact, this ranks up in my favorite music videos in genearl. Very well thought out and the filming is incredible.

    Can't deny I'm a little French Revolution obsessed, haha.

  • Wha..?? How did this one not win over the animation?

  • This was the best!

  • i like this more than the winner because it better reflects the songs feeling of sadness and fighting back.

  • amazing

  • Excellent work!

    I adore the French Revolution, it's such a beautifull and threathfull time in history.

    Very good job!

  • And you know what it did!? absolutely nothing. IT had a people time but the n it went back to monarchy.

  • Never heard about the "Declaration of the human rights" ? the "separation of powers" ? The republican armies spread those notions all over Europe. That's why European countries are democracies, today.

  • Uhm.. no.

    My country(holland) didnt got democratic of that. I dont know what the hell your talking about.

  • i must say that this video the most right picture is from the song. the man is lost for other people but what matters is that he runs from reality and that he died happy like i said : The best video , and to bad he did not win :(

  • This is one of the most extraordinary short films I've seen set to the music. It captures great emotion and I find myself playing it often for the pure visuals as they relate to the score. I'm struck by how the video brings the song to life.

    Excellent work Martin!

  • That was great directing

  • I Love Cold Play!! Chris is such a Hottieee!!!

    Check out another Hot band from Vancouver BC. Search for "Brandon Paris Band + Say Goodbye"

  • I've seen almost all uploaded lost? competition videos, but so far I think this one is the best :) good concept, good costume. love it ;)

  • this is absolutely amazing. <3

  • This video should have been the winner.

  • I agree.

  • You can just hide the pop-up boxes, in the right corner menu, "Turn off annotations".

    I also cried, this is definitely the winner for me, the very best i´ve seen.....

    Really guys, congratulations, and thank you for your amazing work

  • Comment removed

  • Second time round the pop up boxes ruined it for me, I mean yeah you could maybe save the annoying 'BEHIND THE SCENES OMG' messages till the end, it really ruins the full impact of the video...

    But still, this is just beautiful, it really captures the atmosphere Coldplay has created and is a completely flawless vid. Loved it, and cried.

  • Amazing, I cried.

    Congratulations for the second place, but in my opinion this video should have been the winner.

    Thank you for this amazing clip

  • Revolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like this one way better then the other one. It seems more real. The other one sort of just didn't do it for me... But good job to everyone. Since Coldplay picked it, it was their choice. Their still awesomeee. :D

  • wow!!!!! i love the other video that won,, but WOW!!!! they BOTH SHOULD HAVE WON this is AMAZING!

  • this video should have won!

  • AMAZING!!! I cried at the end. So touching a beautiful. What video did win? I doubt it was better than this!

  • oh my god this is a beautiful video.

    I didn't read through all of the comments, but i would love a link to download this from.

    you definitely should have won. they should have put it to vote.

    i think this is a truly fantastic expression of the motives of the song, and the two (song and video) are now inextricably linked in my head.

    thank you.

  • this video completely gave me the chills, the main idea of the video is quite good, the director should consider doing this professionally

  • I think the video didn't win because it's partly depicts the French Revolution. It's one thing you can't miss or just dismiss. It might, just might, get into some viewers minds. Not mine, though. I don't really mind.

  • EXCELENT VIDEO

  • It is absolutely AMAZING! It should have won! JUST GREAT!

  • this is brilliant.  great work!

  • Keep coming back to this one. It reinvorces the sound and lyrics in a way the 'other one' really doesn't, not by a long shot. It's got everything: Dying, decaying, past glories, revolutions lost and won, bittersweet memories, and the final release. Absolutely perfect, and so say all of us, it would seem.

    Seems those that win loose, while those who lost win in the end, after all.

    Viva!

    -Rael

  • This was the best!

  • Absolutely, the idiots of coldplay should've made this video the winner, idiots!

  • amazing. I was crying at one point. I liked this video way better then the one that won.

  • Beautiful video!

  • this video should've won. i say that with all sincerity. it makes the subtlest associations with the album, and it doesnt make a cheesy follow to the lyrics (except for the vague interpretation of the man/s feeling of having "lost" everything).

    fantastic job; awards never matter anyway. its all about what more ppl think, rather than what less think.

    funny, i first thought the cops were coming to arrest him for being crazy. once again, terrific job.

  • They were paramedics lol

  • This video was amazing. I Can't believe you didn't win!!!!

  • This vid is so great...I've seriously watched it atleast a few times this week. This is the only video I associate with the song.

  • Pretty damn cool. That's all I can muster up at this moment...

  • wow

    es muy bueno

    =)

  • Just was looking at the Coldplay's page for the winnners, and i couldn't believe that this was only the runner up!

    Well I'm very sorry that you didn't win, your video was amazing! One of the best youtube videos.

    Thanks for making it!

  • Wow!! Amazing video

  • great...love it

  • YOU SHOULD HAVE WON BEST VIDEO!!!

  • This is the true winner. I LOVE it! I like the connection with Viva La Vida very much! Clever and moving, thank you for this!

  • I'll just repeat what everybody has said: Your video is the best. Period. Not just technically. You actually build a whole narrative upon Coldplay's lyrics. No other video has done so with such success. The mood, the tone, the actor (who did a great job), everything works beautifully together. I don't even have enough words to eulogize it.

  • i absolutely agree!! :] i really loved the continuation of the whole viva la vida concept, so u get this attachment back to the album of coldplay. loved the whole fighting scene, and how it matched the interlude part of the song. this vidoe re-enlightned my love to film,which was gone with the years. much respect, brother! :D

  • As everyone that coment this video... i think this video should have won!

    Reallly the winner's video doesn't like me... This is the best video !

    No more words to describe what i feel when i see this video... just its the best...

    something else.. just because i'm diying doesnt mean im dead u.u

  • this is beautiful

    in my opinion much more meaningful and better made than the actual winner

    this moved me

    amazing job

  • I liked this more than the winners too...

    I feel often something will just look very visually pleasing, like all the claymations submitted. This seems much deeper, with having the old man wanting to relive his youngre days...

  • yeah

    even if it was claymation, it was..stiff, that's the only word i can think to decribe it

    personally this was very visually pleasing, i liked the lighting during the fight scene and it seemed smooth and, just really great

  • OH WOW!!!! Your video brought me to tears!!!!  There are no words for how awesome this video is. I seriously hope I get to work with you guys someday.

  • Definitely the best video and it should have won... Amazing.

  • you are my freaking heroes!!!! this video is just amazing! congratulations!!!! you should have won indeed!!!!

  • what an amazing video! great job man, congratulations on being the runner up!

  • Amazing video! It got right into the heart. Should have won. It undoubtedly made me shed a few tears!

  • Amazing video! i prefer this one! :D

    great job! ;)

  • Yeah, this video should have won. It almost made me cry!

  • this SHOULDVE won!!!

  • this vid is amazing! I love it!!

  • You guys have done so well!! Compliments. Respect from Holland!

  • this one should have won 100%

  • Great video! This one is amazing, and remains one of my favorites =)

  • This is the video that should have won, in my opinion. Really, excellent job!

  • why the hell did this not win??

    that crappy animation video that won sucked

  • minute 2:57 cameraman

  • Maybe because they where shooting a movie?

  • Wow!

  • excellent man, just the ebst video for lost? i sincerely wthink you should've won... But anyways If this was all your imagination.. you could be a good movie director!

  • absolutely fantastic story board...well done. And I had no doubt your video would be in the top 3 picked ;) Congrats to the whole ensemble for one of the most touching video's made! Happy New Year...and keep up the killer work!

  • that was absolutely terrific, very touching! way better than the official Coldplay music videos. honestly and without doubt: you deserved to win

  • Wow! This video is so amazing. But there have benn other ones, being very well, too.

  • Yeaaa I know it... You are the winner of the video competition

    Sorry my english im from Mexico.

    VIva la vida.

  • What a touching and simply just completely beautiful video. I must say, u guys really did an amazing job.

    It was just beautiful.

  • soo shud have won instead of that stupid animation :) i hope u got tickets aswell

  • That animation wasn't stupid.... I agree this should've won.... But the other one was also really good..... It was more difficult.... or.... difficult seeming.....

  • This was awesome!

    I especially liked the original story line.

    I found it very inspiration and I think you should have one in my opinon

  • something tells me coldplay wasnt involved in making there mind up who was the winner......you are the winner by far. well done gents. would love to grab this video and put this on my site as the winner, woud that be ok

  • Brilliant!! I agree, you should have won.

  • sad that machines won upon feelings this time. For me you are the winner. Peace

  • The thing i don't get is that you had 50+ LOYAL COLDPLAY fans helping you make this video in the freezing cold and you depicted their album cover to the tee and you got NO actors or fans in the winning video? Just a bunch of clay-doesn't seem very fair, does it?! As much as i love Coldplay, they got their choices backwards! I'd watch your video 100's of times, but once you see a dog chase a buttterfly once, that's enough-sadly, the wrong winner was choosen-the fans know who should have won!

  • Clay animation is very hard. It was very impressive and Coldplay said they had a hard time choosing. This is a great video also. But people have different opinions.

  • I am sure it's very hard BUT i see that 50+ COLDPLAY fans made this video amazing and it's a brillant video depicting the album,etc whereas there were NO real actors or fans involved in the winners video, other than the maker himself. As you put it, people have different opinions...Coldplay should have chosen the top 10 and then the fans should have chosen first...we are all entitled to our own opinions...cheers!

  • This one took a lot more time I'm sure! they both are completely different. I feel bad for the people that took their time and effort on this video.

  • it doesn't matter how many people went into making the video... and the other video did depict the album / song.. i don't know how you couldn't see it. they're both good videos, but saying one is better because the amount of "coldplay fans" that worked on it is totally illogical.

  • This was amazing, you should've won.

  • As an amateur film maker, this film is positively inspiring to me. I wish I could make something so beautiful. I also wish I could have had the time to enter the competition...

  • Amazing.... This one should've won in my opinion... The other one was good because it took SO MUCH TIME doing the claymation.... but this one fit much better.... More emotional.... great job.... Did you win a prize for runner-up?

  • good good job congratulations¡¡

  • i cried as soon as this video started... it was absolutely beautiful.

  • Wow that was amazing.

    Got teareyed, really.

    Great job! Should've won imo.

  • Congratulations man, I like this one better than the winning video!

  • Coldplay should give you tickets too. crazy good

  • congratulations :):):)

  • it's awesome

    you almost made my cry

    good luck

  • Only vid that made me (a grown up man) cry. You are the winner, congratulations!

  • congratulations for the video. for a lot of people you are the real winner, that's much better than the prize. go on!

  • This would've been my winner, congratulations. Great idea, greatly shot... I can only say great!

  • Aw, I like both clips!!

    The ending, weh he fell holding the flag just nearly made me cry D:

  • Indeed this should have won. Captures the song much better too, and the characters and story are just amazing. Great job :)

  • THIS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO should have been first, not that othr 1

  • very nice done man

    and like the rest of the other comments

    i agree you guys should have won...

  • i definitely like this one much better. Better story, better feeling, and just amazing. You can tell you put alot of effort into this video. Great Job man, sorry you didn't win, but atleast you got second.

  • Really, really amzing I like yours a lot! :]

  • 'Grats for getting runner-up! I can't decide who's was better though, since they were both interpreted different ways, IMO.

    This is really good for a music video though, I'll admit.

  • AMAZIIIIIIIING!!!! I ALLMOST CRIED!

  • This video was exceptionally well done. I felt emotion run through me.

    And I'm starting to like this version of Lost. I love hearing Chris use the piano :].

  • very nice

  • HOLY CRAP man this is amazing. you should've won!!!!

  • why isn't this 5*?!?! so many videos should have a higher rating than what they have, especially this one.

    An exceptionally moving video, congratulations it's fantastic!

  • wow this was incredible, i agree you guys should have won. well done though

  • I think you should've won. This looked like a real music video, and the song suited the video very well.

    How'd you get to use the hospital, and that realistic award? Dude, you are cool.

  • Wow!

  • Three letters: Wow! This is amazing, especially the fact that you got so genuine costumes and properties! Good work! Viva la Coldplay!

  • wow, this is an amazing video. i'm suprised it didn't win. it's so emotionally intense and brings out all the meaning of the lyrics in the song.

    i love this.

  • I really love Coldplay, but I think you should win this competition. The video that's won it's really cute, but nothing as compared with your.

  • Brillante. ¡Enhorabuena!

  • Great video, you can tell it was a lot of work. came so close to winning...

  • wow bro!

    this was way better than the winner! what happened? no offense to the winner...

    i love the video man, keep your heap up, stars always get second places in the beginning of their career!

  • Congrats on 2nd place. I think you should have won, though? Did you get anything as far as runner up prizes?

  • I definitely liked this one better than the claymation one

  • this video was amazing! i actually felt true, rich, deep emotion while watching it, unlike the winner of the contest. spectacular job!

  • this is absolutely incredible. truly, amazing job.

  • Phenomenal. I watched this before they announced, and knew it would win.

    No offense to the 1st place claymation guy.

    But yours was far and away the better vid.

  • OMG 10 times better than the winner

  • This video absolutely should have won. No offense to the winner, but this just blows the rest away.

  • There is absolutely no reason why this didn't win. Great job. Coldplay messed up here.

  • Congratulations-great effort!!

  • The actual winner's video was sweet, but I really liked this one more. It's awesome.

  • OH MY GOD!!!

    your video is sooo AMAZING!! I don't knw why u didn't win! I think u should have won, yours actually relates to the song...that's a shame but Your great, and I hope u get something for this video :]]

  • Congratulations on runner up :)

  • thanks for this great video!

  • OBVIOUS WINNER

  • I agree with the group, this is an amazing video. I really like it :)

    Thank you, this is wonderful!

  • soooo sad

  • I like this one better than the actual winner. It's very deep.

  • I completely agree with you!

  • loved it, such a shame it didnt win, way better than the actual winner

  • did you at least get SOMETHING?

    or no :(

  • this is such an amazing video. and i can tell that aaaaaaaaalot of time money and effort whent into making it. i meen you used some siriously good cameras. and all those costumes, this really should have won. its a shame it didnt

  • Way better then the winner (my opinion)
