Miscellaneous information

On March 9, 2022, the day before the video was released, production company Kreisfilm made a post on Instagram explaining that the cover of the single Zeit, taken from the video, was produced without special effects: By the way, nothing in this image is digitally altered. No Cgi or compositing. Just Olli and a ton of sand. (And no stunt crew) They took it like champs.

In an interview with Chaoszine, Richard said he was injured during the shooting of the video:

I just had a little accident. We were shooting a video. There was this super tank pool slash where you can shoot in water. And I was set to jump in three meters high. Everyone had jumped down to kind of film where we going down under, and I was jumping on my other guitar player’s ass. [Laughs.] My foot is destroyed. I can’t really walk around with just– so I have to have to be very cautious about my right foot at the moment
