The music video for "Don't Panic" was directed by Tim Hope. The video starts off with an animated diagram of the water cycle, then portrays the band as two-dimensional paper cutouts doing household chores, when suddenly disaster strikes the earth in the forms of floods, volcanoes and electric shocks. Like Coldplay's earlier music videos, "Don't Panic" also features the yellow globe on the cover of Parachutes.[21] This is in reference to the science fiction comedy The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, created by Douglas Adams in which the Earth is destroyed. This is where the name "Don't Panic" comes in. In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the two main characters use, of course, the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy to weave their way out of trouble. On the back of this guide "in big friendly letters were the words "DON'T PANIC".
