The music video for "No Fear" was directed by Jörn Heitmann in Berlin, Germany the same year. Jörn Heitmann has also directed many of Rammstein's videos.
It includes a girl who The Rasmus 'feel for' by singing about her life and how she feels. The girl has an obsession with butterflies and follows them out of her small dark bedroom. She also seems to be sleepwalking in other places outside; across roofs, and through the streets. She eventually comes to a roof of glass panes and falls through them into the building. But has she died? She appears to end up in a beautiful garden with a bed randomly placed in the middle, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. At the same time as the sleepwalking, thousands of butterflies come to life from the butterfly pictures behind the band, and other places around the building. The butterfly on the girl's picture also comes to life and flies out of her bedroom. She stays in it, gloomily looking up at the framed butterfly picture on her wall. The effect is added to at the end by reusing several of the shots seen at the beginning of the video.
