Coldplay Initially Announced That The Single's Music Video Would Be Directed By Hype Williams But That Version Was Scrapped After Shooting And The Band Decided Instead To Record A New Version Directed By Long-Time Collaborator Mat Whitecross. The Band Called Whitecross Just A Day Before The Shooting And The Video's Concept Was Finished Just Hours Before The Director Travelled From London To South Africa. Chris Martin Created The Video's Concept Storyline Which Was Ultimately Filmed In The Style Of A Nature Documentary. Due To A Combination Of Time Constraints In Shooting The Video And Martin's Conceptualization The Elephant Suits Were Intendedly "lo-Fi And Spontaneous" And The Unicycle Had To Be Found In A Hurry. The Video Was Released On YouTube On 18 October 2011. In The Video Chris Martin Dressed As An Elephant Escapes From The Zoo. He Finds An Abandoned Sharing System Bicycle Rides It To Belsize Park London Underground Station And Takes The Train To Heathrow Airport In An Attempt To Hitch-Hike His Way To Another Country Doing So Finally By Stowing Away Inside A Suitcase. An Aerial Shot Reveals That His Initial Destination Was Cape Town South Africa. He Is Then Seen Wandering Around Johannesburg At One Point Walking Past Nelson Mandela Bridge And A Set Of Railway Tracks In Braamfontein. He Then Earns Enough Money Which Appears To Be ZAR 67.05 Roughly Equivalent To GBP 5.34 Or US$8.40 By Busking On The Street Which Shows Portions Of The Song's Lyrics In Sync To Buy A Bike The Shopkeeper Suggests A Unicycle Instead. After A Seemingly Hopeless Wander On His New Unicycle In Which Martin Takes Off His Elephant Head For A Second He Comes Across Three Other Elephants Who Are The Rest Of Coldplay Playing The Song In The Veld. Will Champion Is Dressed As Snorky From The Fictional Band The Banana Splits Identifiable By His Glasses And Polka-Dot Ears. He Starts Playing With Them And The Band Eventually Play A Sell-Out Stadium Concert Together Before Returning To The Veld Where They Run Towards The Camera. The Video Was Shot On Location In London Cape Town The Klein Karoo In The Western Cape And Johannesburg. The Zoo That Martin Escapes From Is Paradise Wildlife Park In Broxbourne Hertfordshire. The Bike Shop Shown Is Woodstock Cycleworks In Woodstock Cape Town. The Concert Segment Was Filmed During Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto Tour Concert At The FNB Stadium On 8 October 2011. After Performing This Song Live The Band Donned Their Elephant Heads And Gloves And Pretended To Perform As The Last Minute Of The Studio Recording Played. The Concertgoers Were Encouraged To Cheer And Sing Along As If They Were Actually Performing. As Of 2023 The Video Has Over 1.796 Billion Views On YouTube. Another Music Video Was Directed By Shynola Who Had Directed The Video For "Strawberry Swing". The Video Was Intended As The First Incarnation For The Video Before The Band Came Up With The Elephant Concept. The Promo Pictures The Life Of A Little Girl That Comes Out From Jail. A Special Video Of "Paradise" Was Created For The 2012 Summer Paralympics And Shown Between Event Breaks. This Version Featured Clips Of Paralympian Athletes Competing In Events. The Song Was Met With Positive Reviews From The Majority Of Music Critics. Billboard Gave A Positive Review Calling The Track "another Slice Of Hug-Warm Ecstasy" And Gave Praise To The "boiling Strings Rattling Synthesizers And Bass-Heavy-Beats" Saying "it Shows They Know How To Bring A Few New Tricks To The Table". Both Q And Rolling Stone Offered Similar Praise And Also Noted That It Was Another Step In The Right Direction. Altsounds.Com Gave A Similar Review Remarking That There Are "Drums That You Would Expect In A Rihanna Song And Melodies You Would Expect From A Band Like Friendly Fires And The "oohs" From 3OH!3 Is What You First Hear. That Is Of Course Until Chris Martin's Vocals Come Into Play And There Is No Doubt In Your Mind That This Is Coldplay. A Wonderful Chorus Of "para-Para-Paradise" Reminds You Just How Good They Really Are. It Will Remain With You For Weeks To Come Like That New Piece Of Clothing You Just Can't Get Enough Of".
