Could you paraphrase what is been said in general? A complete translation won't be neccessary IMO.

At the beginning they talk about his style and inspiration as a photographer. After that, they begin with MHB, Rammstein asked him to film the video when they saw Utero's video in his website.

And now the things you want to read, he chose the location. They talk about the changes in the original story, the video was planned as a movie trailer in which the band were the main characters of an open story, he thinks that probably the problem was they weren't singing or playing and they are not used to that. And he explains the original story: It was an orphanage created by Till, father of Melanie, a "special" girl. The orphanage manager, Richard, doesn't want to close the place when Till's Daughter dies. Besides, we can see the weird practises taking place there, "Flake" avoids the children running away from that prison-school, etc. (At this point, he sends the interviewer the workbook written for the video, and he says is amazing)

And of course, they talk about the reasons why the video wasn't used. Eugenio doesn't know them. He showed them a cut of the video and during the following 5 months he asked them what they think about it, but he didn't receive any answer. In May they answered they didn't like his edition and he proposed them to make it together. Nothing else until September, when they sent him the new one, and invite him to be co-director, but he didn't want that, only the mention of the cession of his video footage.

He felt very bad, when they denied him the possibility of showing any image out of the final video. He wants to show the images, even without any music. He signed a contract with them in June, in which he gave them the rights of the images, of course, when he did it, he didn't know about the new filming.

There's much more, I'm sure it will be translated soon...

RammsteinWorld have created a new website dedicated to MHB. It includes interviews with Sven Helbig, Zoran Bihać and Melanie Gaydos.

Don't have the box set yet (avoiding spoilers) but have seen the video & love it! Very dark, fitting to the song lyrics & music & extremely entertaining strictly from an art perspective but especially to a fan of the band. Now for that eagerly anticipated live footage... (Still suffering withdrawal)

I hope i do not get into trouble for this, but here is a link to the "making of MHB with English subtitles"........

^That's exactly, how I feel, too :-).
Oh by the way, can someone explain me the scene, where Till is lying on the floor, half naked, with his arms outstretched, kinda frightened look on his face, end pins of the cellos sticking out of his bleeding heart? What do you think it means? What are they doing to Him?

MHB music video is great. I was amazed when i watched it. I have watched it many times and everytime i find out something new. I think i will watch it again now

[Whitewolf]

As i wrote above, i have just seen the "Making of MHB", with in my opinion is the best i have seen.

There are some interesting out-takes and quotes:

There is some footage of what appears to be Rammstein dressed as English WW2 soldiers building a funeral pyre with a child on top (well, they are wearing army trousers and typical English WW2 style helmets, but are bare chested)

They are also filmed dressed like this but with big "cones" on their faces!

In an interview with a little girl she describes a scene where the children were all hung.

Watching R+ learning to play the cellos was funny. Schneider actually said he booked a lesson.

It is worth a watch, very interesting. Plus i think Till could be a great actor at some point.

Recuenco is pissed off at Rammstein, and I don't blame him. According to what he says, 70% percent of the clip is based on his footage.

He would like that they allowed him to show his original cut. He also says it was his best work yet, and that Bihacs's cut has nothing to do with what he originally made.

The link is his original post, written in Spanish: https://www.facebook.com/eugenio.rec...51176937050267

Firstly, Snakes interpretation of the video is spot on. I have just finished watching the "making of" on the R+ DVD boxset. It is split into two parts, Recuenco's original filming, then when Zoran Bihac comes along.

Is seems that Recuenco's original idea was the part when the kids were young and also the teacher, with Till terrorising them. When Rammstein saw the results they were pleased, but felt the video lacked an ending/proper storyline.
Zoran was called in and came up with the idea of the future (Till being immortal), with the kids and teacher now much older, mixed in with the original Recuenco footage. It is feasible that 70% is Recuenco footage, but thats hard to tell.

I think it is an awesome video, one of Rammsteins best.
