Behind the Scenes of a Music Video Shoot

Written by Tom Kaulitz on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, diary! Today was a crazy day on set as we filmed our latest music video. I wanted to give you a little peek behind the curtain and share all the excitement that went down during this incredible experience.

The Concept

This music video is like nothing we've done before. We wanted to challenge ourselves creatively and push boundaries, so we came up with an edgy concept that combines fantasy elements with gritty reality. It's going to be epic!

Wardrobe Wonders

One of my favorite parts of shooting a music video is getting to try out different looks and styles. For this particular project, our stylist pulled out all the stops. From leather jackets adorned with spikes to futuristic accessories, every outfit choice perfectly captured the essence of the song.

Perfecting Our Moves

Dancing has never been my strong suit, but for this music video, I had no choice but to step up my game. We worked closely with an amazing choreographer who taught us some killer moves that complemented both the energy of the song and its visual narrative.

I won't lie; it took some time for me (and Bill) to get comfortable executing those dance sequences flawlessly while playing our instruments simultaneously – talk about multitasking!

But after countless rehearsals and late-night sessions in front of mirrors trying not only not break them but also perfect those intricate steps -we finally nailed it! The feeling when everything clicked into place was indescribable; pure euphoria rushed through our veins.

On-Set Shenanigans

The filming process can be long and tiring at times; it's important always keep spirits high on set amidst all hard work! And what better way than indulging in some good old-fashioned shenanigans?

Gustav would often bring his portable speaker blasting upbeat tunes between takes – instantly transforming any dull moment into a spontaneous dance party right there on set! Georg would join in, improvising some funky bass lines that added an extra layer of groove to the impromptu jam sessions.

In between scenes, Bill and I would often engage in our infamous prank wars. From hiding fake spiders in each other's dressing rooms to sneaking up behind one another with buckets of ice-cold water – we kept everyone on their toes!

Capturing Emotion

The most challenging part of shooting a music video is conveying genuine emotion while the cameras are rolling. We wanted every frame to capture raw passion and intensity, so we poured our hearts into each take.

There were moments when everything just clicked - the lyrics resonated deep within us as if they were written for this very moment. It was during these magical instances that something truly special happened; the emotions became real, almost tangible even amidst all lights and camera angles.

Wrap-Up Reflections

As the day came to an end, exhaustion set in but it didn't dampen our spirits. The energy on set throughout filming had been electric from start till finish! We couldn't help but reflect on how far we've come since starting this journey together as teenagers dreaming big dreams.

Being able to create music videos like this allows us not only showcase artistic growth but also connect with fans worldwide who have supported us through thick thin over years! It's humbling experience knowing there people out there awaiting eagerly see what we'll do next!

Today's shoot gave me renewed sense purpose drive - reminding why love what I do much- sharing stories through music visual medium brings joy my life soul cannot be replicated by anything else world!

I can't wait for you all witness final product when it releases soon enough! Until then, stay tuned more updates coming your way diary!

Yours, Tom Kaulitz
