Heeeey! I feel like I want to explain a few things..
Number 1, offcourse that wasn't a real police car.
Number 2, we did not make this video to make us look likewe're something we're not.
Just like in the previous clip where I only burned the car.. this was a symbolic gesture
...a reversed scenario from what we are used to seeing.
Where the ones that are used to getting beat down
are getting beat down
by the ones that usually get beat down
I'm not saying that I allways get beat down
nor am I saying that we get harrassed because the way we dress or anything like that
This is about Them, not about us
It's easy to say that: - they deserve it, bla bla
But it's not about us, its about them
It's about thier attitude and negative jargon that runs thru the whole police force
it's a music video at the same time and we want the viewers to get into it
and it's also easy for people to say,
but the thing is, we're not crying... we haven't cried at all, but we have changed from is
and this is our payback, our way to hit back in a creative way
I have seen so many retarded comments online
I don't know if i should cry of laugh
First off
Do you really think i would record myself burning a police car while showing my face - if it was real?
I have seen at least 100 comments
..saying "that is our tax money!"
I have seen a thread they made - publishing my home address, planning to burn my personal car in revenge
And don't even try to play it off as a joke cause I have seen at least a hundred of those comments.
Some dude wrote that we rented the car
I am flattered that people thought it looked so authentic
I will show you all here how it was made
The car is a Saab 9-5 Aero
I sent some time looking for a white one
I was lucky to find this one on Blocket (Swedish Craigs list)
The guy selling it thought it was a shame that we was going to burn it
But he asked me to send him the footage when we where done
The hard part was to get the blue police lights
They had to have the right mounts
And then we had to customize it to be able to power off a car battery
And I made the stickers for the car my self
I put them and the foil on at the location cause it would attract too much attention to drive it down there with them on
It would not have been a good idea since the car wasn't registrated and/or insured
I dont really feel like talking too much, I dont want to turn into a blogger, but i felt like I wanted to explain this
Then I hope the the music can speak for it self.
Try not to interpret something I haven't said from this video, ok?
I looked at pictures and took my own photos, and did some messuring in the city of police cars
Then I compared the colorsof the foil with pieces of foil I brought with me
Thats my friend Alex, or DJ Irie, that does alot of the scratches on my records
And thats my friend Anton, or Antracks
And this is a clip that didn't make the video in the edit
This is fireman Fredrik, pouring some diesel into the car
We recorded this par at the fire departments training facilities
They have a special spot where they have burnt stuff for videos before
Here you can see the the foil isn't perfect, I was in such a hurry but it turned our great for the edited video
The best thing was that some people on the internet thought it was speciel effects, that I made the fire using Adobe After Effects haha
It would have been awsome to be able to do that
In conclusion - don't believe everything you see on the internet :)
Nice vest, are you going to bring that home?
