??.01.2007- Making off Übers Ende der Welt

translation by aya/tha

Voice: Absolute silence here near the set!

Bill: Well UEDW is about preserving your course and always keep your aim in mind and you mustn't be afraid of breaking out of your daily life or limits
You definitely shouldnt stay in your daily routine and just go straight on but sometimes you have to make some circuits.

Bill: We tried to reflect the song with the story of our video, we wanted that the audience are able to see and notice the drab monotony of everyday life
We had a lot of supernumeraries, I guess about 60 people who all looked the same.

Tom: And we tried to wake these people up with our music and eventually we made it - all these people are trying to climb up the walls and want to break free.

Bill: well oftentimes you just need someone who reminds you that you shouldnt block yourself and that you shouldnt be scared about it and that's what we did in our vid.
Someday the people realize that it is not that hard to break free and that it's not hard to do what you want or feel.

Tom: Well most parts of the vid took place in this alley and eventually on the roof. We break away, then climb from the alley to the roof and eventually
are able to see the sun.
And this is a symbol for that you made it out of the daily routine.


Bill: And we realized that making videos is always uncomfortable you never have the perfect conditions so that everyone feels comfortable or feels warm
so that you can shoot in between but if you want to have
a good location you always have to shoot in the cold or in the rain.

Tom:When shooting we kept on wanting tea to keep us warm, we had like tons of tea there and eventually no water for the tea anymore.
Georg: It was extremely cold and during breaks we all ran around in our winter jackets and we stayed all the time in front of the two gas blowers we had there.
Tom: Well of course, it was a huge factory building with a lot of alleys and we were shooting at the biggest alley with the huge ads signs and we tried to change the huge ads sign ,well we didnt do it but someone did it for us.
