Shooting video for song "Molysia Na Mene" was held on December, 27-28 2008 in Lviv. The main feature of weather during this period was humid and frosty air, a temperature varied within the -10 Celcius. It was a biggest challenge for us on the filming sets

The main priority of video clip was a visual presentation of members of rockband for audience. No showing off, no glam, a minimum of special effects. Realistic in a picture and music were all over. Director Yuri Dobrus and director of photography Volodymyr "Frenchman" Kurylo were invited to create a video clip

Old part of city near Rynok Square was choose as one of location for filmmaking. Frost was troubling so much and desplite liter of coffee had been drunk, eyes were weeping and hands were trembling, that's why the actors had to be in proper visual shape. This has been successfully handled by stylist Volodymyr Kulbatskyy. You can note how sweetly Slavko Shved warming his face under an incandescent lighting on the background of next picture

Good friend of rockband Tanya Nazaruk became the lyric heroine of video clip

After filmmaking in Old Lviv crew continued to work in the closed apartment which in that day held almost no different temperature as outdoors. However it was order to continue and participants withstand a frost and cold patiently. Look how warmly dressed guys at the following picture and imagine how it was hard for Tanya to play

Although it was coldly for guys too – that's why in a rehearsal studio crew worked with three breaks. Yes, yes, again litres of coffee!

A budget of a video clip was a bit poor, filmmaking were funded by members of rockband. On the eve of release of first plate Opium shown themselves as they are – without any decorations and unnecessary glam. We hope two sleepless nights and the perseverance of crew meet your expectations because this movie is a high-quality, beauty and easy-feeling picture of no less powerful song, to prove once again that Music is the Hardest Drug

P.S. Thanks to God, nobody got sick and overdosed by caffeine at the time of filming process :-)
P.S.S. Thanks to everyone who helped us during filmmaking!
