Music video

The music video for "Feelgood Lies" was the No Angels' fifth clip to be filmed by German director Marcus Sternberg. It was primarily shot near the Photonikzentrum in Adlershof, Berlin in the week of August 4, 2003,cite web | title="Adlershof als Kulisse"| work=Adlershof| url=http://www.adlershof.de/index.php?id=enews&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=2770&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=144&cHash=df87a9c914&L=14| accessdate=2007-03-25] and entirely choreographed by American dancer Sean Cheesman.cite web | title="Feelgood Lies" music video information| work=MVDBase.com| url=http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=46586| accessdate=2007-03-25] The video also features former "Fame Academy" contestant David Hernandez as a dancer.

"Feelgood Lies" does not follow a storyline but per the band's request, focuses on scenes with choreographies and futuristic designs (ironically it shows the girls wearing 1980s clothes). As a result it generally features scenes of Nadja Benaissa, Lucy Diakovska, Sandy Mölling, and Vanessa Petruo dancing with their four male background dancers, intercutted by several close shots and computer animations, including fyling propellers and helicopters, and set expansions like glass buildings.cite web | title=No Angels - "Feelgood Lies"| work=Capture-mm.de| url=http://www.capture-mm.de/de/00011_00229_no_angels.htm| accessdate=2007-03-25]

After four weeks of post-production by Capture Berlin GmbH & Co KG the edited video premiered in September 2003 at the end of VIVA Germany's show "Neu bei VIVA".
