Visiting Filming Locations of "Silver and Cold" by AFI in Prague, Czech Republic

The music video for "Silver and Cold" was directed by John Hillcoat and shot in Prague, Czech Republic.
The band came up with the concept for the video and director Hillcoat developed it. It shows band members Jade Puget, Adam Carson, and Hunter Burgan rushing to stop the vocalist Davey Havok from committing suicide by jumping off of the Manes Bridge, but as they reach him, they die in a horrific car crash.
Havok walks away unharmed, although it is implied that he is a ghost. -Wikipedia

Visiting Filming Locations of "Freestyler" by Bomfunk MC's in Helsinki, Finland

The music video was mainly filmed at the Hakaniemi metro station and Merihaka, Helsinki, Finland.
The principal “home boy” featured in the video is Marlo Snellman, a Finnish model and musician who later released his own single entitled "Dust" and today is working as producer for his own projects such as “Hipsters” and "Okta". The actor was only fifteen at the time of shooting and got the part through his mother, Finnish modelling magnate Laila Snellman.
The video begins with Snellman catching a train while listening to “Freestyler” on his MiniDisc (Sony MZ-R55 Hummm) player. A character sits across him in the train, who is played by Raymond Ebanks (B.O. Dubb), the lead singer of the Bomfunk MC's, and who imbues Snellman with the power to control the flow of time for one or a group of individuals.
Realising this ability, Snellman spends the duration of the video pausing, rewinding and fast-forwarding dancers and people on his journey until coming across the Bomfunk MC's, upon whom the remote control does not work; the whole video is then sent into a rapid rewind back to the beginning.
There is a continuity error in the video with the number on the train carriage changing throughout the sequence. - Wikipedia

Hakaniemi pictures coming!

 Here's a map for Merihaka locations.

 Home boy leaves metro. In reality, these escalators lead in a parking lot at Haapaniemenkatu 7-9 in Merihaka. In summer 2015 the escalators were turned into normal staircase. The dancing girls spot is right next to the escalator entrance.

 This spot is near Hakaniemenranta in Merihaka.

 Home boy encounters another home boy in Merihaka.

Then we are back at those escalators.
