The video for Pirmajā dienā was directed by the band's drummer, Kaspars Roga, who came up with the idea spontaneously: "Thanks to the muses! I was sitting in a sunny café in Barcelona when the idea just came to me—why not go to space? I wrote it all down, showed it to my friends, and we realized—this is it, we have to film it," Kaspars shares. The video was filmed in a Riga studio and produced by the film naked team. The artistic direction was led by Lielais Kristaps award-winning artist Laura Dišlere, with visual designs by the talented Līva Drešere, while the 3D animations were created by animator Kaspars Murelis.

"We spent two days filming in the studio, where we had a real spaceship built. The props team shook and rocked it vigorously as we raced through galaxies. It turns out we are all great actors—surrounded by blue screens, we had to imagine everything, from our rivals Bermudu Divstūris' aircraft to Keika’s spaceship lot. One scene, in particular, was a favorite among the crew—where Andris Keišs and his four-legged friend, a dog named Šašliks, sell a spaceship to intergalactic travelers," laughs Kaspars Roga.
