official press release
stellar tombs was produced and filmed in iceland with a production crew of only five from the 14th16th of november 2015 and edited until january 20 2016 at the dont panic films studio in scituate massachusetts. similar to certain lyrics from the song the video is tangled in extreme opposites and nonsequiturs. for example while the video takes place in the icelandic nature there is nothing natural about the landscape and something all too familiar in the human element and its natural propensity for chaos. the story follows two enigmatic characters or agents of chaos if you will as they recklessly personify how easily best intentions and humanitys boldest advancements can be misunderstood and ravaged if careful attention is not paid.
i believe that our humanity was formed from two vital fundamentals language and empathy. language taught us how to speak but empathy showed us how to listen. cue humanitys aforementioned natural propensity for chaos our greatest and most radical accomplishments repeatedly leave us walking a knifes edge pondering when the bigger fish will arrive and what form it will take this time around. when this is all over will we become the dragonfly or the mammoth or will we get lucky and become hunters again fighting for survival and asserting ourselves as gods over land and nature only to be overrun by wolves in the night jumping forward a thousand years of civilization will rise and fall in an instant because of a single irrigation error. that upon digging to the sea and proclaiming to the heavens weve done it immediately poisoned the rich soils with salt. weve come a long way since then though we split the atom see
the main character in stellar tombs skillfully portrayed by reykjavk local tomio newmilk quickly learns the ease of failure if we lack empathy to understand why. as he searches the endless black horizon his ceaseless trust and visible navet shield him from fully understanding both sides of human nature. the vehicle he drives is another example of this the mighty land rover defender an armored metal fortress designed to keep the rest of the world from creeping in. ignorance is bliss as they say and this doesnt sit well with tomios passenger a highly temperamental paradox brought to moody life by heike langhans vocalist of draconian. she has made other plans.
throughout the production both tomio and heike were open to onthespot experimentation and were a blast with whom to work particularly given the stress levels that come with shooting a seven and a halfminute music video in under two daysin iceland in november in horrible south coast weather that included daily snowstorms severe weather warnings chickens blowing across the lawn and glacial rockslides directly in the areas we were filming. during postproduction i wanted the aesthetic and colors of stellar tombs to match the extreme desolation of the icelandic countryside and the helplessness and fear that comes when taking one of the most dangerous landscapes in the world for granted. i made that mistake once before while filming in icelands nature a few years back it couldve cost me my life and i experienced a sense of powerlessness i will never forget.
in conclusion im sitting here glancing over what ive just written above and i understand the message of this video seems like an especially dark negative and a very onesided way of looking at everything weve accomplished with our endless numbered days here on earth and i assure you it is there will be a day and probably pretty soon where common ground is completely out of style but we must never forsake learning never quit listening and never ever stop striving to understand one another. take black metal or heavy metal music for example... the chances of actually understanding all the words the first time through are basically slim to none and look how sweet it still is. we will be just fine.
from all of us here at dont panic films and draconian we sincerely hope you enjoy stellar tombs and have as much fun watching it as we did making it... takk fyrir okkur
