Together with Rossacher, Dolezal was involved in the content development of Premiere and VIVA. After MTV UK did not want to air the music videos of Marius Müller-Westernhagen because he sang in German, Dolezal and Rossacher planned the German music TV channel VIVA for three years,[4] which started airing in December 1993. Dolezal has won numerous awards in the film, television and music sectors.
Dolezal has filmed documentaries on Freddie Mercury, including Lover of Life, Singer of Songs. He also produced music videos for Falco, such as the music video for "Rock Me Amadeus". Since 2015, he has hosted a music documentary series called Dolezal Backstage on Servus TV, in which he tells stories of his life, illustrated with archive footage, and talks about his encounters with music greats such as Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, The Rolling Stones, and others.[4] Dolezal worked on dozens of music videos for Queen, Tom Waits, Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, and Whitney Houston.[5][6]
Collaboration with Queen
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. It was the first collaboration of a "fruitful relationship between Dolezal and the band".[5]
About Mercury Dolezal said:
Freddie and I developed a language together. He was very, very, fast. He was very intelligent, very clever, and you had to be always on your toes. He was very impatient. He wasn't even finishing telling you what he wanted, but he wanted it that moment![5]
Dolezal also said that Mercury was very diligent: "If I had a shoot where I said, 'Freddie, you have to get up at 5 a.m. because I want to have the sun going up behind you,' he was there 5 a.m.". He and Mercury developed a strong friendship.[5]
