On the night from Friday to Saturday in the Moscow Botanical Garden, the Bi-2 group gathered fairy-tale characters around them to shoot a video for their new song "Incredible Story", which was included in the bonus CD of the band's reissued early album "Sexless and Sad Love". In addition to Leva and Shura themselves, the video included: the full moon, an elk, a hare, an owl, a wolf, dogs, horses, a girl with snowdrops, lost Hare Krishnas and … a real flying saucer.

The Incredible Story has no plot as such - the director decided to shoot a beautiful winter video, calling on flora and fauna to help: the snow-covered Botanical Garden and all kinds of forest animals and birds. Briefly what happened on the set can be described as follows: the musicians played their song in the night winter forest, placing the piano and drums right in the snow, and various animals came out to the sounds of music from the forest thicket.

The video was directed by Vladilen Razgulin, who had previously shot the "Kindle" video for "Bi-2".

The beginning of filming was overshadowed by the creative flight of stylists, who chose clothes for the musicians in the style of the Lesopoval group, which Shura and Leva immediately dubbed "quilted jackets" and flatly refused to dress in it. "We immediately got into the car and went to the store to buy something suitable," Leva told Bi-2. Following the stylists, an elk invited to the site distinguished himself, which, according to eyewitnesses, from a large number of people (in addition to journalists, the fans of the team watched the filming process) just got mad and hit the trainer very hard. "I think he broke a few of her ribs, - continued the story of the vocalist of" Bi-2 ". - Immediately after what happened, he, in my opinion, was simply put to sleep." But the leaders of "Bi-2" were pleased with the horses, on which they had to ride in some episodes. For Shura, it was his debut as a rider - for the first time, the artist who sat on a horse was first ridden with the help of a trainer who led the horse on a leash. But Leva felt more than confident on horseback and immediately went into a gallop - it turned out that the musician had enough riding experience.

According to the participants of "Bi-2", they were satisfied with the filming process. "Despite the frost, we were not frozen at all," Lyova shared his impressions. "Thanks to the brand new sheepskin coats. But my feet got wet because I had to run through the snowdrifts. So if I get sick after that, I will bill Razgulin for the treatment."
