Muse – Knights of Cydonia

The video for Muse’s hit Knights of Cydonia required three days of shooting in Romania back in 2006. Filming also took place in London and in a rocky area in California. The video was directed by Korean-American film & music video director Joseph Kahn.

Evanescence – Bring Me to Life

The famous video of Bring Me to Life, which back in 2003-2004 was often included in the playlists of TV music channels, was filmed at the Hotel Rembrandt in Bucharest. It was directed by German Philipp Stölzl.

"I was 21 when we filmed the music video for 'Bring Me to Life.' It was my very first time leaving the U.S. to film the video in Romania. It was all just brand new... I've grown so much since then, but I'm still extremely proud of it," Amy Lee told
