Music video

The music video for Ich will was filmed on August 9, 2001 on and in the former State Council building of the GDR on Berlin's Schloßplatz .

In the video, the members of Rammstein take on the roles of terrorists who raid a bank. The main purpose of the raid is to get the greatest possible attention from people and the media. In the course of the video, the terrorists surrender to the SEK as part of their staging and enjoy the crowd's attention while they are being arrested. Only keyboard player Flake Lorenz remains in the building as a living bomb. He is wearing a kinetic object by the synaesthetic artist Marva H. Kuebler, which he built with the support of the hardware and software developer Werner Star. The bomb explodes in the end in the form of a quick sequence of images from other Rammstein music videos.

About 250 extras and a helicopter were used for the shoot. The director was Joern Heitmann , who had previously made the video for the song Sonne .
