Dopamine was our first music video production that we made for ourselves. It was very helpful that we had already gained some experience during university and that Luwi had worked on other people's projects. But two key elements added tremendous value to the production. The first was the talent and hard work of Moritz, with whom Luwi had worked briefly at a media agency. Moritz took the train to Sweden and back with film equipment that was worth so much that it would have ruined us all financially. So he protected it with his life, and we are eternally grateful to him for that. Secondly, Luwi was working at 18frames.rentals at the time. Kudos to them for providing us with high-end equipment even though we couldn't afford it.

When Moritz arrived, we had already scouted out some locations and drawn up a rough plan of what we wanted to shoot over the next two days (and nights). You have to remember that we were shooting Dopamine and Ourcosm Pt. 1 at the same time. Working with only three people on set and a tight schedule, without perfect planning, without stable weather and without a budget had its disadvantages. So we decided to shoot all the performance footage as well as the beginning of the second verse and some additional scenes two months later in Germany, near Luwi's hometown.

We decided to get up very early to film the performance shots of the chorus at sunrise. Unfortunately, we arrived on time and set up, only to see an overcast sky. But luckily the sun eventually came out, resulting in the footage you see in the finished video.
