John-Erling Holmenes Fredriksen 1 year ago

Really cool stuff. The part with the chicken flying through the air kind of reminded me of a certain Vitalic-video, but the rest was totally original and really cool. Inspired maybe? So very well suited to the song.

Wow... I loved it. You guys are lucky to have the nameless chicken-girl as a friend --- if you win the Thunderheist contest, it'll be due to her. I hope we can look forward to seeing her in more videos in the future. (With or without chickens.)

Brilliant great, awesome, great aesthetic, fantastic, great concept...
I see nothing of that, I am only seeing ANIMAL TORTURE.
I am sorry thatgo, I don't like it
B 9 1 year ago

They had a chicken wrangler on the set to make sure the rooster wasn't harmed. Check out her comments on thunderheist.com/news.php?news_id=86

I also asked a friend of mine (who has a few chickens) what she thought and she said it's not torture. Usually when you turn a chicken upside down, they just go limp. (Gravity-based blood circulation.)
Kingofpunk 1 year ago

they still use an animal...and suspend somebody or an animal by the legs still torture to my opinion.
will a 1 year ago

hey Kingofpunk, are you talking the animal torture in the video where it is being grabbed by its legs?, or after they finished, slit its throat, ripped the feathers off and deep fried it?
Kingofpunk 1 year ago

Then you don't mind if I take you by the legs and I shake you, nothing personal, just to make a few videos.
The video is really well done and got great image but I can't agree the use of animals, children or disable people ...
Michael Ragen 1 year ago

Kingofpunk, Caleb was never shaken.
Wemby Time 1 year ago

this is a nice video for the song, the slow motion provides a contrast to the song's aggressive beat

but it does borrow conceptual ideas from Vitalic's video for Poney Part 1

Awesome treatment for a music video. I like the simplicity of it. Damn good editing with a great dance track overlapping it. And it seemed like the girl had the right expression on her face on every frame. So good directing as well.
Carla 1 year ago

I've been watching this video all day. Genius! Such a fun and sexy hit. Thanks!!! Love the girls pants. Who is this girl??? Also, the video, musicians, art directing, quality, everything is ON POINT!! Share more.
Alanedit 1 year ago

Saw it once, do I wanna see it again? interesting concept, needs more variety in the edit. I'm sure the end result will be good, you guys rock.
