I realized I actually haven’t watched all of rammstein’s music videos, so I decided to correct that last night. here’s a little tiny review of each I've seen so far! for funsies :]

“du riechst so gut ‘95″:  i’m glad i don’t have scopophobia, or I would never have been able to watch this glorious video. till’s dramatics? beautiful. the boys just standing around barely doing anything? amazing! makes it all the more cool when they all start synchronizing and singing the chorus at the same time while still remaining all stoic (I can imagine how many retakes they had to do, lol. I kept expecting one of them to burst out laughing during a moment of Intense Staring) also: nice dogie

“seemann”: first of all; did NOT expect there to be a video for this song, so that was cool. I liked the 90′s black and white/dramatic-vibe... not sure what that random woman’s purpose was tho? was till angsting about a lost love or smth while he made all the others drag the boat around for him? was that why they tied him to the boat later and made him a figurehead? who knows, but it was pretty good. olli and his bass = MVP

“rammstein”: it took me a while to figure out that the movie clips mixed into this video was from “lost highway”, but then I saw that creepy guy (you know the one) and I was like ‘oh’. anyway, I'm mostly a fan of cinematic music videos, and not really ones that have just been filmed from concerts. I prefer to see concerts IRL rather than filmed. still though, the concert footage fucked pretty hard! I haven’t seen “lost highway” either, so it all just made me wonder what made them pick that movie for the video? maybe it DOES make sense if you’ve watched it, idk. personally, I think it would’ve been cool if the interspersed clips had been footage from the air show crash at ramstein air base, or something related to it. simply because that’s what the band got their name from, and with how I feel the song’s lyrics generally describe different types of chaos and mayhem-- idk, I think that could’ve made for a more impactful video. then again, maybe using footage from actual disasters is a tiiiiiny bit too controversial, even for rammstein...

“stripped”: at first I was wondering whether one of the olympic athletes in the video were actually one of the band members, but nah, it was just clips from some old movie. HOWEVER, the editing, visuals and music just went so well together my mind was actually blown a little bit! I don’t favorite all videos I see, even if I like them, but I was like “I can’t NOT favorite this”, so I did! as someone who has enjoyed video-making and editing since 2007, everything about this video was pretty much like.... video-editing-inspo for me? it was simply very satisfying to watch

okay so that’s the beginning of my quest! to be continued...
