[5][6] Dolezal and Mercury first met when the Austrian director and film producer was working as a reporter for a German television, during an interview with the band.

After the interview, he made a "tongue-in-cheek remark", telling Mercury to give him a call if he needed a good director for his next videos.

[5] Mercury's manager did call Dolezal in 1985, and asked him if he could shoot the music video for "One Vision", Queen's new single.
