On 8th March the Azerbaijani Eurovision Song Contest entry's promotional video was filmed at Kyiv�s Arsenal Centre. The setting was transformed into a magic middle-age castle filled with flames, demons, statues, flying angels and mystic shadows � a perfect environment for Elnur and Samir to unleash their creativity and individuality in their first music video.
Constantly performing on stage in promotional tours thar artists formed a clear vision of how the video must look. Finally the day came, and at last Samir got his throne. It was exclusively manufactured in an art studio and made of stone and fur.
Elnur finally got the opportunity to use his wings and to fly across the ancient castle. And it turned out to be quite painful as he was roped around his legs. The singers were tired after performing for 18 hours in full make up and frosty air inside the castle. Elnur comments:“We were frozen and tired. Moreover we have inhaled a lot of dust inside. Thus the next day we could hardly speak, not even sing. The hardest hour was 1am, when in the end of capturing process the electricity turned off with no particular reason. We kept ourselves awaken for one hour and then went on with cameraman again”.
Semen Gorov revealed after the shoot his fascination with the duet’s clear vision of where they want to take their viewers:
“This is so rare that artists see so clearly how their idea should be realized in video. I’m surprised that Elnur and Samir do. Moreover, the song is really bright as well as the characters and the whole idea, and it’s a good opportunity for me to add my effort to this. We’ve gathered a lot of special effects to enhance the song idea, and that’s what I like – good results”.
