this video is rather a short movie than a generic videoclip
it's all about conveying the dark and gritty atmosphere of the song
shooting at various locations
on multiple days
and having a cast ranging from children to elderly actors, and for instance a guy passing by on a horse
makes this production something really special and exciting
it's more than just a random production involving a couple of friends
(as you like, but maybe a bit too much dirt there)
we're about to shoot the first scene at this lake
we're crossing the water, a metaphor for the transcendence into a different realm
shooting this kind of music video in the style of a short movie turns out to bust our budget ...
... but we just had to go for it, no compromises
initially the guys promised me a motor boat
but turns out there was no money left for that
I'm the devil's violinist
Hi, it's Kit Harrington on location at the Trails videoshoot
Winter is coming ...
it's Isabella's birthday today
and that obviously demanded for a pony
which she takes out for a ride through the woods ...
Nakita! What's that!?
Look here!?
wuff ...
wuff ... wuff ... wuff ...
wuouff ... wuff ...
lyrically, The Devil Is Real is an ambivalent song
it's about yearning for a person you admire
but at the same time realizing that one can neither live with nor without that person
which is why we chose to wander towards a funeral pyre where we end up burning not not only the corpse we're carrying but also ourselves
right now we're filming the final sequence at the funeral pyre, which marks the climax within the video
there's a lot of actors involved, pretty much all that we got at the set
we're gonna be shooting for quite some time at this scenery
people are gonna crumble into a collective mania because Patty and Luca sermonize about evil
(so now you take the gun and pull it up to your face while grinning like a maniac)
(are you having fun?)
my name is Ferdinand and I was asked to participate in this music video by my friends Luca and Patty
what they didn't tell me though was that I would have to drag this heavy ass wagon all day long
so basically I'm sweating like a pig all day long while everyone else is relaxing
(some words but mainly spitting)
(disgusting douchebag! ... spitting all over the place!...)
we put in a lot of effort in order to plan and prepare everything, making sure to implement all our ideas, all those mental images we had in mind
and we're really excited the way everything turned out eventually
it's gonna be sick
these last days definitely took their toll
we're all exhausted and getting those last shots on camera was quite hard, being busy and focused while massively lacking sleep
when we came up with the idea and the vision for this videoclip initially, we always thought ...
(busy shooting again!? I thought we were done!?)
well, no ... it's for the making of ...
(ah I see ... so you need to talk ... what are you talking about?)
that you have been annoying everyone all day long ... (me!?!) ... yes you, Jon Snow ... (you got it)
(alright then) ... are you leaving? ... (yes) ...
