The second music video released for the song “Your Past Life as a Blast”. This one directed by Isaac Ravishankara.
“My initial inspiration came from some of William Faulkner’s novels, especially ‘The Sound and the Fury,’ where the same story is told from four unique perspectives,” Ravishankara explains. Also, I had been reading a lot about how the brain processes time, and also thinking a lot about meaning in juxtaposed images.”
“Your Past Life as a Blast” was filmed on an overnight trip with a small crew in upstate New York with actors Benedict Mazurek and Margaret Miller. “The woods were filled with nature, which often was literally on top of us. Mostly snakes,” Ravishankara says. “Ben caught one, actually, on day 1. But the hardest part of the shoot, by far, were all of the water scenes. We spent hours in the lake and it was awfully cold. By the end of the day, Ben and Margaret and I were so cold, our shivers had turned to full-on uncontrollable shaking, which Kevin (Haden, DP) thankfully captured.”
