BTW Robert, how much money did you/band/others spend when making this video?

Final price tag isn't yet clear. Still some issues to work out, like how much is Spinefarm going to chip in, and what of the equipment we borrowed was actually free or for hire, etc...

But either way it turns out, I'd estimate that we got a production value of 30 000 euros for less than 1/10th of that in budget, which is a sweet deal.

Awesome!

Just out of curiousity, how did the whole process work with filming the rock video?

Did y'all actually play the song and they film you doing it and basically slap the original mastered version over you? Was it fun? Did it a take a long time to film? That kinda stuff =)

Shh! Let them get the video out first, then ask questions

I'm just curious how the whole process works. I've personally never had the chance to ask someone whom has experienced it before.

Though, I don't think Robert has any work left on the video. Sounds like it's done and we're just waiting for it to release. I'm in no hurry (other than just obviously wanting to see it), so I figured now was the best time to ask questions =)

[mumppis]

the video aint ready yet

[Drakonis]

the video aint ready yet

I didn't suspect it was, I was refering to Robert (and the band) having any work left on it. It seems like the filming portion is complete, hince why I was asking how the whole processed worked and if he liked it.

I wasn't really trying to make any particular point or suggest the video was done. I obviously have no clue how that production works

My apologies if I misworded myself

Were the whores that expensive ?

Should be looking good then.. oh and fireworks, pyrotechnical thingies are always sweeeet.

For the band it was an insane 2 days of playing the song over and over while moshing and rocking out. There wasn't a lot of down-time those days.

For the film and light crew the work took 4 days, or 3,5 something like... Then of course, the editing is what's taken the longest, although I have no clue as to exactly how long. They don't work on it daily, but a every now and then.

When we recorded we brought in a PA and speakers in which the recorded version was played while we played the song along with it (to get it perfectly synched with the recorded song).

Besides the band and the huge cast of one extra, the crew consisted of a light technician (a real pro, worked with Ingmar Bergman back in the day, and now most recently rented out his stuff to a film crew filming Vin Diesel up at Riskgränsen), a director (Tomi, from Inja) and a camera operator / director of photography.
