How did they make the coldplay video for The Scientist?

The music for The Scientist was performed by Coldplay and recorded at Parr Street Studio in Liverpool. The song was the inspiration of a dream that Guy Berryman had where his girlfriend left for France and he was trying to reverse time to change her mind. The video for the song was filmed in London, and directed by Jamie Thraves. According to the director, the video was produced at a cost of about $1 million. The video was filmed mostly in a warehouse in London. The scenes of the band playing were recorded after the rest of the video was shot. The band was filmed while playing live on a set made to resemble a house. The rest of the video was recorded by Thraves over a week to match the time-reversing theme. The video consists of many short scenes, each one shown first moving forward, then in reverse. The scenes start short, and eventually get longer as they become increasingly complicated. The end of the video is a series of very short, quick-moving clips of the opening of the video.
