Hotchpotch - Kualala Lumpur


This is the first music video for the Austrian band "Hotchpotch". They won the Austrian Yamaha Band Contest in 2003 and released their first "real" studio album in 2005. You can find out more about the band clicking on the appropriate URL.

This video was shot in the Austrian town of Innsbruck, the band's and the director's hometown. Director Nino Leitner and his co-director Ivica Putnik came up with the idea of putting the band on various spots of the town Innsbruck, which is known for its mountainous placement in the "heart of the Alps", and the sports and tourism that come with it. This symbolizes the track's meaning that whereever the band is playing, it still feels almost the same - although it's still different everywhere because of the "vibes" the people give them.

Directors Nino Leitner and Ivica Putnik have shot this video in only three days, including 9 locations all over the town (albeit not all of them have been included). However, the post-production took much more time: multi-camera edits and especially the transitions were very time-consuming, but it paid off.


Hotchpotch - Kualudium Ratis
(Intro to the long video)


This intro has an oriental theme and was therefore realized with three professional belly dancers in front of a blue screen. It is intentionally simplistic and only serves as a "bonus" to the music video "Kualala Lumpur", which has a very different look. Yet still, in terms of music, both tracks complement each other on Hotpotch's first studio album "Bring It to the Boil!".

Any resemblance to iPod commercials is purely coincidental.


Urban Ego - Mrs. Brainshaker


A lonely, but crazily working young man is unexpectedly visited by a group of pretty girls, which keeps growing uncontrollably all the time. They mess up his appartment, and by this also his life.

This narrative music video for the Austrian pop band "Urban Ego" shows how somebody surprisingly finds his "Mrs. Brainshaker".
